It’s improving. Cases aren’t a real indicator as that reliant on testing, but less are dying and the ICU wards are no longer overrun. Plus, they are getting their act together with vaccinations. Slowly heading in the right direction.

Say what?

It’s got to be better than being confined to a hotel room. I know some people who are there; it was a bit of a fuck about with the paperwork and tests, but ultimately quite a smooth process.

Samui one opened today. No domestic travel there though at the moment as far as I know.

Thx for the reply. When I'm in the area I'll check it out 🙂

Go careful. Lots of Ladyboys on that soi. Some fun bars sometimes though.

Really a bj for 300?
Which bar is this?

It is a bar on the left before the Aussie place. I think the girls who are outside there are all massage girls. It was during the period before the bars reopened, so I guess she was pretty desperate.

A fair few are open, but on the left as you go down there are a load of girls. You tell them you want a beer and you get taken into a side room where you can have some drinks. Obviously they will join you.

I had one sucking me the other day trying to convince me to take her; I genuinely just wanted a beer so she sucked for a few minutes even though I told her I wasn’t bothered. Top marks for effort though.

Damn, I had no idea you could even get full service at these places. They have like private rooms with a bed or something or you gotta take them out? 

They will fuck where they suck. Some have separate rooms at extra cost, but most will get freaky in the normal spots.

That is true. A BJ with CIM for 800B and an extra 400B for FS is exceptional value. Although the girls won’t be stunners ofc. Man I miss Tik from Kasalong.... 😔

One of the bars on 7/1 is ok for a cheeky beer at the moment. You can get a blow job on the couch for 300THB.

Bad timing  dude.......I think another lockdown is around the corner.

It is a huge metropolitan city. As with any city if this size, there is obviously crime. But generally Bangkok is pretty safe. You are far safer here than most Western large cities.

i hope the poplee live there   can upload info  about lockdown and  start  international fly

More things easing in the next few days. No bars though. If figures stay low, that will be another couple weeks away for sure.

No flights (for tourists) into Thailand until the end of June. Probably even longer I reckon. When flights are allowed, there will no doubt be some sorts of restrictions (quarantine or/and medical fitness letter).
 

If numbers remain low, my best guess for a best case scenario for a punter sat in a bar (who knows what restrictions bars will have to have?) surrounded by lovelies would be September/October. All it takes is a quick spike though, and that would be straight out of the window

Have a look at Jacks bar by the river. It isn’t posh, but has a great feel to it. Their food is good and they do have nice wine. Definitely more casual, but plenty of Thais prefer this.

I have been eating at various south east asian restaurants and faced many people staring at me for asking a fork and spoon. But i never mind and continue the way i am comfortable with. My Japanese friend can even pick single rice grain with his chopsticks. But now i am seriously inspired to use the chopsticks.

It is just practice. Chopstick for noodles and spoon for rice. I actually find it weird trying to eat noodles without chopsticks now.

It’s confirmed. Booze available again on Sunday day. Has to be take away. Can visit restaurants too, so that is good.

Is street food still being sold (for take away)?

Yup.

Slightly off topic, but not being in thailand right now how is the real situation in bangkok and thailand. Im just trying to understand how bad things really are and how much of it is the media driven both in thailand and in the world. There didnt seem to be any real precautions for about 2 months but i dont really hear any reports of massive numbers of serious cases in thailand. Given that thailand was the 2nd worst after china i was expecting to see some pretty bad numbers but i havent seen alot in the news, facebook, social media ... even talking to thai friends i dont hear alot of deaths and serious cases. Again just trying to get some feedback on how things are for conditions over there. In canada right now it seems way over reported and overkill  to shut down the country for 50-75 hospitalized people that would statistically probably be hospitalized with the seasonal flu. Doesnt really make sense and here when the health officials are pressed for details that can be confirmed they start stating there are privacy issues and wont release that info. Just feels a bit to vague and questionable at times. Thank you for your feedback

Well, I would say the numbers here are probably much higher than reported due to lack of testing. I agree the numbers still seem strangely low though given it arrived here pretty early. The next 2 weeks are pivotal after the restrictions.

We have seen how this can rocket in 10-14 days like in Italy and Spain. It could easily happen here.

I read that some girls from the new Soi 7 complex have tested positive. Glad a haven’t been there recently.

That is good. I think they are trying to be as flexible as possible now. A load of overstayers just causing them more problems.

Your extension for 30 days is effective from whenever you visit immigration. They won’t give two hoots about your onward travel from Vietnam.

Wonder what’s gonna happen for Songkran next month? Would be pretty devastating for the bars etc if they had to close or ban celebrations during this period but I can see it happening.

Well, the big organised stuff is already canned. I wonder if bars will be enforced to not partake too?

This next few months will really see some bars struggle and more than likely close.

I don’t think we could be far away from bars and restaurants closing you know. Other countries are now doing this and health minister here has already risen the possibility.

If there is a surge of cases I can see that happening. Would be bad news for all the bar girls. They would be fucked (and not in the way they usually are).

Thailand will not ban people from leaving. No country has banned people from leaving.

my countrymen were taken out of the Wuhan quarantine 2 days after it was imposed.

I’m not worried.

Probably not.

Brunei has banned people leaving though.

Margarita Storm at the top of Soi 13 is a decent option. Open 24hrs and you can get a decent breakfast there too.

The alley connecting soi 2 and 4 (next to Hillary 1) there is The Mexican which is authentic Tex Mex. amazing cocktails too.
