If only malaysia dont have travel restriction now, i might be tempted to help out the boys too. No bar fee seems like a great deal already lol

14 days is the quarantine period. Thats the logic there. Though infection can still happened elsewhere.

Their closure dates (18-31 march) also coincide with malaysia movement restriction order (partial.lockdown)

Malaysia just announce movement restriction order or partial lockdown. Closing of all but essential services until end of march. This is after another 125 new case reported today.

Us recently passed the bill to absorb the cost of testing of course after the virus is already nationwide.

This is why the number of positive cases are low, the cost of testing is too high. Its supposed to be free testing for at risk group as refusal to go test equals the virus spreading everywhere

That means u will also have to self quarantine when u are back home right?

Their neighboring country, malaysia, just reported highest sibgle day new cases in the region, 190+ case. That might tip the scale there.

Rather than looking at new case, looking at current active cases might be the reason why china is still in the list. Not to mention this virus actually started from there, and the people sentiment against chinese tourist all around due to this virus, id say thailand is making their decision based on all above. Or they just use total cases to based their decision on, so china definitely top that list. They obviously didnt use the daily new case as guide.

Tonight seems to be like a farewell party at all bars if the news is true. Have fun guys!

Babylon seems to be the place for variety of body type, age and locality. Though tmdue to this virus panic period, who knows what you will find there.

Logical since the last few cases involved people drinking and sharing glasses and cigs at clubs.

Applying oil to anus? Nothing new here, next! Lol

Denmark and norway announced whole country shutdown. Only a matters of time now before more countries follows.

Owh, definitely if you are found positive, contact tracing is really important. But that is also the reason one might decided not to go to certain places, to avoid having to disclose they have been visiting certain place lol

Now they will definitely know where u are and where u go while u are in thailand.

Malindo air already instructed their staff to be on forced unpaid leave half of the month, consequently reduced their salary by 50%.

A dumb down version of songkran and bangkok in general is still a lot better than no travel at all. As your BF has never set foot out of south america, he will get to enjoy everything bangkok has to offer minus the crowded tourists, which to me is a plus. As mentioned by few who are already in bangkok this past few weeks, there is no short of boys, with the latest visit of lucky boys reported 50 boys on stage. Moonlight bangkok had advertised their songkran special show is still going to be as planned. And you also said next year, you might come with a diff BF, which if its true, your current BF might not get to enjoy thailand with yoh at all then. No big tour groups around tourists places is a huge plus in my book. Now, your reality check is also valid. If there is a chance that thailand decided that you needed to be quarantined, then its not worth it. Now, there is already a policy to provide medical cert stating you are free from covid-19 and have been tested negative in the last 48 hours if you are from heavily affected countries. So if u still decides to go, ensure you will keep updated with requirements by thai gov, which seems to change with short notices. Saudi had cancelled visa for muslim to visit makkah with short notice as well and lots of people who already on their way there stucked at their transit airport unable to continue their journey. All the best numazu!

Ok make sense then if bloomberg write the article hehe.

If its written by someone not from thailand, referring the nation as third party, the asian nation, seems logical. Im not sure if the writer or bangkokpost is from thailand or not.

Lol thailand aviation regulator dont decide for asian nation. They can decide for flight boardint for thailand only.

As people, regardless if their are local, expats, tourist, men or women, are always horny, the scene will never die. In hard times, it will be survival of the fittest. The popular boys, the popular bars will survive, the not so popular one might not. But silver lining is, the virus scare hit a lot of businesses, not just the sex industry. That would also means some more guys from other industry who got hit by this virus might turn to sex industry as a refuge. Its not like im hoping for this to happen but that is the reality, in hard times, more people will be desperate enough to try things they previously wouldnt even consider. Who knows we can suddenly see some of the gorgeous "guests model" from the many gay events suddenly appear in jupiter or moonlight.

Is rest cabin is their hotel?

30k in one night, that boy is raking in a fortune during this bad times. At least i do know many of the boys will help out their friends when in need, especially when they got good fortune (i.e. generous customer/sponsor). I know some boys started day job to try to have a stable monthly income, so these boys should do fine, unless their day jobs also related to tourism, then they might be hit badly too.

This is exactly overreacting will do. If what i read is true, that it does transmit the same flu is, and even asymptomatic person can also transmit the virus, no travel restriction will be effective anyway in combating the spread. Itll slow down for sure but will never stop it. What travel reatriction and virus scares really do is hurting the economy, hurting the income of business that rely on tourism, hurting the factories, hurting the import and exports. What should be focused on are for all nation to ensure their healthcare are up to standard to face such pandemic if and when it happened. That includes having enough budget allocated for health. I know some countries are doing a good job at this but clearly some are not. And with the economy being badly hurt, itll make it much harder to channel money towards healthcare, let alone research on vaccines and cures. Heck, we couldve had a vaccine had the SARS vaccine research continues, or at least very close to have one given how similar this virus is to SARS, even being named SARS-cov2. Malaysia currently having a second wave of cluster infection, almost all linked to a person. That person travelled to shanghai and came back on 17th january, and tested positive 27february, 6 weeks after, so he might got infected from an unknown person locally instead. He is a high profile guy who is dierector of company and board of member of another, and lots of close contact with him tested positive now. Not as bad as south korean church though. It is inevitable and i do believe a delay by travel restriction will actually help in countries with poor health care, as what happened in wuhan, is not what all want to see elsewhere. I did google how an outbreak ends, its either a cure or vaccine is found/developed (like smallpox), or enough people has been infected and developed antibodies against it and no more new infection happening, or it becomes a normal infection where u can get it everwhere and is no longer considered localized and can be contained (like H1N1).
