One of the best and most honest  photos of Thailand. It’s been around for ages and used for different purposes.

Yes, that is what I thought it was. It was only because there was a lot on the news yesterday about a new rise in cases that I thought I should test.

The test centres here have been closed and no more free test kits are available. Fortunately (or not) I still have some unused tests I got to take to Thailand.

If I had not still had those I would have put it down as a bad cold, not even flu as I didn't have a fever and didn't feel as bad as I did when I had 'real' flu a few years ago.

I think there are a lot of people out and about spreading it who think they just have a cold.

On a bright side though for the next few months you won't have to worry about catching covid and you can plan a good long trip!

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm feeling better today so I'm probably over the worst. I was unwell since Monday but only tested yesterday so I am supposed to self isolate for five days after positive test. I will stay inside until next Wednesday then test again.

Be careful with thinking you're better.

It went in waves for me.. morning I was feeling good... 11AM I was exhausted and symptoms were crazy again.. 3PM feeling okay.. and 7PM it'd hit like a truck again.

I would also recommend taking 1000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily even after recovering from Covid. It has been demonstrated that Vitamin D3 boosts the immune system, particularly in those people who have low levels (little exposure to sunlight).

seconded!

I knew I forgot something.. was Vit D and Zinc.

That's another symptom of COVID I've been having recently.. brain fog. Never had it before. Like I could meet 5 lb's in 1 day and remember everything to do a meticulous TR.

So please listen to rxpharm!

F*CK! I've just tested positive for covid-19. I thought I had a bad cold and sore throat, but thought I should test and it's positive. 

From my experience..

These are the meds you'll need primary to get over it.. but

#1 DO NOT OVEREXERT YOURSELF.. if you start sweating when you get up or see stars.. take it easy.. (its a sign of heart working too hard)

#2 Take the meds as necessary.. especially the acetomenophin (might be called Paracetamol in some european countries)

#3 if you have trouble breathing.. see if a nasal decongestant helps.. if not go to the hospital.

#4 There are some meds available for covid now especially for elderly people - Paxlovid comes to mind but you have to take it within the first 5 days of getting covid. Ask your local pharmacist if they have it.

#5 Try and order food rather than make it yourself.

Seems I got the BA5.. fatigue being the worst and its still hanging around for me..

Fuck Covid, Polio is now back in the UK 

 

 

Test everyone who made a trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan in the last 2 years should be a good start to identify carriers and who needs the vaccine.

Just relax..

Maybe she's in lube with the guy.

Wait a bit till it wears off. She'll be back

Still shit can happen..

You never know she could have found the one that doesn't drive her bonkers, is young, gives great sex, doesn't butterfly and ticks the boxes. Chances are 0.0000005% though.

I was warned by bbg ,who is an expert on mask matters, that ! should take off my N-95 mask when I wore it in Emmy's Bar.

He said I could be arrested for wearing one in Thailand.

You should get a custom tshirt made.

I'm a Quiet Guy.. Leave me Alone or unmask my chemical grenade!!

Won’t get into the  mask debate again since you have faith in them. It’s been beaten to death.

I wear the N-95! I won't trust the cloth one.

Funny enough now that you mention it.. I wondered why the missus got it first.

She didn't like the N-95 for the long duration on the plane so she wore the cloth one and yes she got covid first.

Cloth masks are indeed useless.

I hope so. I did go in Jan/Feb this year and had to deal with all the Thai Visa hassle and 1 day quarantine, so hopefully it wouldn't be any worse than that.

But not really worth going if everything is closed down again.

I probably will take the risk with the condo booking.

After 2.5 years I was fed up and thought I could risk it with Omicron.

I made the trip to Thailand fine.

Till I got on the return leg and then US immigration.

The flight attendants were unmasked. The US immigration queue we were all told to take off our masks and there was no social distancing.

Guess what.. she got COVID and then 2 days later I had COVID. Today for the first time my Rapid Test was Negative (after 9 days) but PCR is still positive. Still have some symptoms. You know most of the symptoms list I imagine by now.

Worst symptom is as soon as I stand up and walk.. start seeing stars, feeling dizzy and sweating.. in other words covid has totally sapped my strength/ endurance and my body feels like its working too hard.

I haven't lost my sex drive but in this condition sex would like a real chore. (I never thought I would say that).

I would guess would be at least a week from now that I'd be able to be able to perform much less enjoy sex.

So that's the risk you take with taking a trip for COVID.

IMO if you're going to make a trip.. make it at least a month long so if you do get COVID and have a long bout like mine, you still have 2 weeks to enjoy your trip on the tail end.

I'm surprised there aren't more serious incidents like this in this area given the clientele, lots of people with zero impulse control. Its like any european bigger city.  I've been there many times and kinda like it if it wasn't so damn loud. Many times I've thought the area is a minefield of bad decisions.

Because there's 2 kinds of drunks.. happy drunks and violently high drunks.

The first kind most just walk away and want to be left alone with the pretty partner on their arm.

Some go out of their way to draw attention and pick a fight. There's a few on this forum.. more on PY and even more in Patts in general.

There was a stabbing last night in what appears to be the Arab Quarter.

 

So someone slashed a random soidog?

Pitbulls have a bad reputation, but its like the saying "There are no bad dogs, just bad owners".

 

If the pitbull didn't attack the monk.. but approached nicely and followed.. you have to say the owner was really good!

Thanks Ashoka :-)

Yah if the fucker had killed the dog, I'd think most of us would be volunteering to stone the guy to death!

What about the dog?

Apparently the abandoned dog was following a monk so the monk brought it to his monastery to give it food. At the moment its under the care of monks.

"The suspect had been tracked down with his mobile phone signal according to investigative officers and his movements were captured on CCTV as well. The suspect had left his rental car at a bus station in Surin and taken a bus to Rayong, then traveling to Pattaya."

The translation is wonky. It only summarizes certain sections but doesn't give you the whole story.

Basically if you listen to the thai narrator in the Amarin videos.. it says something like

"The suspect used the victims phone to make daily payments on the rental car instead of his own. They were able to trace her phone's location in his possession.

And they found him with a Laos national that he had hooked up with but when she saw that the police were looking for him, she herself called the police. The police were then able to surround him and apprehended him in Jomtien Beach."

At least that's the Thai word for word translation from the Amarin video if they're telling the truth.

They might be using a male pronoun when referring to JeJe.

Yeah more proof pronouns matter!

To be honest it confuses me too sometimes but thankfully my missus will translate it nicely where it all makes sense.

And I didn't charge you commission 

We have both certainly got lucky by taking the chance and booking our Flights in February amogo 

As Qatar were quoting £881 for my November Flights (probably due to World Cup) I opted instead for Emirates and got it for a total of £614, this includes the £95 I paid extra for my Seat Selections on all 4 legs which gives me peace of mind, plus flying on the A380 again on the MAN-DXB-MAN legs will be a buzz. 

The same Flight and times with Emirates would now cost me  £1,036 so I am more than happy I too took the plunge in February 

Looking forward to our Cocktails together in Pattaya boyo 

Yep even the prices we booked here using Qatar have gone up tremendously. We got a deal for $945 + $80 seat selections.. now its $ 5624.77 in economy most days of the week.. (that's right from FIVE THOUSAND+)

Have a good time there Dukey.

And I'm envious you got on the good planes.. they put us on shitty ones in Qatar.. I won't be using Qatar again.. feels like a bait and switch operation.. promise A350-1000 and end up with A330.

Its good they caught this scum before he fled the country.

Interesting that they tracked him w his mobile phone.

in most countries, that's not legal for the government to do. But either a warrant was obtained or the people of Thailand now just let the government do it......surveillance for everyone at all times. Which is what many countries now do and their people accept.

I think it was her mobile phone that he still carried and used for payments.

Are you talking about Jomtien or a specific place in Jomtien?

Dongtan Beach where they have the night market for food.. seems to be the spot.
