Got a message from my doctor to contact the surgery. Called them and the girl said,oh yes it is about the flu vaccination!!.

I said what about the covid one????. Oh yes we have that too. Here's me waiting to hear about the covid one and they tell me the flu one is available. Fair suck of the sav!.

Can I get the covid one?. Oh yes sure.

Blow me over with a feather. So going in Tuesday.

It is the Astra one,(probably made by General Motors), but better than nothing. Would rather have the Pfizer. A 48 year old woman died a week after having the Astra. So the chances are about 1 in 400,000 of having blood clots. I will chance it.

 

hi make sure you yake paracetamol before the shot and then every 6h for the next 2days depending how you feel

i did not know i had a very bad night after the shot but i am still glad i took it it was astra z... too

Greetings gentlemen,

Already prior to this COVID-19 madness I was a bit of a Dr. Doom regarding the outlook for Pattaya that, from personal observation, peaked mongeringwise in the early 2000s for GGs and in the early 2010s for ladyboys.  The reason has been shrinking demographics and rising incomes in Thailand that have reduced the supply of new P4P talent, while demand is (was!) increasing with more and more mongers coming every year.  The end result of these 2 market forces can only be less value for the buck, which spells the end of mongering Thailand as we know it.

From this perspective, COVID-19 could set back the clock on this trend as Thai incomes fall and fewer mongers will arrive in the foreseeable future.  HOWEVER, COVID-19 has also set in motion what everyone one expects will be PARAMOUNT social and economic shocks in Thailand that will change Pattaya for the worse.  Two in particular come to mind: (i) mass business closures, especially farang-owned;  and (ii) possibly, a change in national tolerance for sex tourism and sexpats.

THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT THE NEGATIVES AHEAD, which are dominating the discussion in the other COVID-19 threads.  THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THE SILVER LININGS IN THE CLOUDS:  HOW WE CAN MAKE THE MOST OF WHATEVER COMES NEXT !

Let me start:

As a 30+ years veteran of SE Asia, I view myself as a SEASONED MONGER who can compete with the best of them in the pursuit of Thai pussy or ass.   I enjoy immensely the bar scene, but I don’t need it to get laid.  The way I see it, Pattaya’s COVID-19 apocalypse will wash away the competitive nuisance that are the lesser mongers, and us surviving seasoned players will rule the scene more than ever.  Many of the hotter GGs and ladyboys who might otherwise have shunned old sharks like me ... WON’T !

If you are a SEXPAT you are in an even better position.  You will have more natives than ever chasing after you and you will feel less cramped by the sex tourists.

Other positive outcomes will be LOWER PRICES for many of the expenses farangs incur like condos, rents, taxis, restaurants, maids.  Forecasting the exchange rate is complex but, ceteris paribus, the Thai baht will depreciate if there is less demand for it from tourists and investors.

And some positive micro-outcomes are already evident:  From what she tells me, TJ’s Lilly is down to 2 or 3 STs a day max.  She is even willing to do LTs.  And get this: she is even being turned down by cautious sexpats, which is a long overdue humbling experience for her.  How's that for a positive outcome of COVID-19?

Can you gentlemen think of OTHER POSITIVE POST COVID-19 SCENARIOS that give us all caged mongers something EXCELLENT to look forward to ?

Party on,

Rom

i hope you mean it as a joke

otherwise it is fairly sad
