    China

    Thailand is to receive Coronavirus vaccine from China. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/thailand-covid-19-vaccine-sinovac-delivery-coronavirus-13890186
  3. I would recommend Cuba for a holiday, if you want some sunshine. I don't speak Spanish either but most people you come into contact with will speak English. They get a lot of Canadians who go there during the Canadian winter. I was due to go there tomorrow but holiday was cancelled because of UK lockdown. I did get a refund. If you book with a package holiday company make sure you will be given a refund if holiday is cancelled because of covid restrictions. In UK most holiday companies are giving that guarantee. You can also take out travel insurance which includes coverage for cancellation because of coronavirus, but that will cost more than the standard travel insurance. The current Cuban Government requirements for travel there are that you arrive by flights at specified airports with accommodation pre-booked. Obviously a package holiday is the easiest way to do this. You need to have travel insurance which covers medical treatment and repatriation costs if necessary. You need a Tourist Card (visa) which is obtained from the Cuban Embassy/Consulate. In UK it costs £39 and has to be paid for by Postal Order or Bankers Draft only. You need to send in a photocopy of your passport, proof of flights and booked accommodation, with the Visa application form which is downloaded from the Embassy/Consulate website. In the UK you cannot do this in person, only by post. But there are agents who can do it for a fee (about £35 I think). I received my Tourist Card back within 5 days. Last week the Cuban Government brought in a new requirement because of the new Covid variant. Tourists from UK have to get a Certificate of fitness to fly from a private health clinic. In UK this costs around £150. The PCR test must be taken within 72 hours of flight departure. I don't know if this just applies to UK tourists or everyone - you would have to check your Cuban Embassy/Consulate's website, or your Government's foreign travel advice. When you arrive in Cuba you will be given a coronavirus test at the airport, and transported to your hotel. You have to stay in hotel grounds for first two days until they get test results. If it is positive you will be taken to medical quarantine facility. I don't know whether it is worth all the hassle for a 7 day holiday. If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask.
  4. Don't lick those stamps!!! 7/11 blocks reports of connection to spread of coronavirus! https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2021/01/05/exclusive-city-hall-scrubs-7-eleven-stores-from-coronavirus-travel-history/
  5. PM Boris has just announced we are now in full lockdown again across UK, so we can't even go outside apart from certain exemptions, let alone travel to Thailand or anywhere else.
  6. The English variant reaches los. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2021/01/03/thailand-reports-1st-case-of-uk-mutated-coronavirus-strain/
  7. I tried to reply too, yesterday and today, but couldn't. Belated 70th Birthday Greetings and a Happy New Year @Annat. I hope the positive test doesn't lead to anything serious. You should phone your GP on Monday for advice. If you feel unwell before Monday phone 999. Take care.

  9. It's at 4.40 minutes in, almost at end of video. He says he has heard good things about Emmy's Bar. Nice to see at least a couple of customers there. Thanks for posting @duke007. Reminds me of what I'm missing. I should have been there in 12 days time. It is sad though to see Jomtien so empty. Let's hope 2021 will be better for Jomtien and we will be able to return.
  10. If you mean the face visor, I got some of them too but haven't worn one outdoors yet. Maybe when more people are wearing them.
  11. Possibly. Someone on the other forum said she is at college in Pattaya.
  12. I'd go along with that too. I'm quite ok on my own. When I was younger I liked to be with people, but as I got older and my friends got into couples, had children and moved away, I got used to being on my own. I like my own space and couldn't live with anyone now. People sometimes ask me if this covid self-isolation is getting to me and I say I'm used to being socially isolated and it doesn't bother me.
  13. Retired? Thanks for the report bbg. Nice to hear it was a good turnout for Teya, though unfortunately Emmy's Bar will now be closed for a while. And thanks for the pics Quinn.

    Coronavirus

    True. The test only shows if you are infected at that moment. I do have to have another test in 3 days to confirm. But at least it shows I am not positive but asymptomatic, possibly spreading the virus unknowingly. We have had a record number of new cases reported in UK today, over 53,000. It is likely there will be another full lockdown here soon.
