As it looks at the moment, excluding the Chinese and Russian product, after 2 vaccinations plus a booster a Covid infection produces only mild symptoms and offers strong protection against severe consequences. But with that virus constantly changing it´s attitude I prefer to stay on the safe side til further notice and insist on any person being tested who comes close to me. ( Massagistas, hairdresser if I would have hair etc). Been to the dentist yesterday, poor guy faces people all day spitting at him but still alive. Sooner or later everybody will catch it like the flu, bad for the anti-vaxers.

No

Coss, have no fear. I did a meticulous research of all things necessary, main concern being incarceration in a hospitel due to positive test or what Siam thinks is positive. First obstacle is registration and approval on the Thai Pass . Tecnical glitches may occur, plenty of literature to be found on the internet how to beat the system. Cannot explain anything because I don´t even know what a Jpg or pdf is. Biggest thread is they find a CT-cycle of less than 40 on your arrival day, then you are done. The rest of the world is satisfied by 30. It says how infectuous you are after a previous or during a current infection. Only way to avoid this is a voluntary PCR test shortly before you hit the plane and stay home if the numbers don´t fit. Or a paper from your doctor saying your infection has been treated etc. Look it up if you were positive. Big joke is the 5-days Antigen test to be done by the tourist himself and the result then to upload via the Morchan(?) - app. Unfortunately it does not work at all and second whatever you upload: get yourself a picture of a negative test from the internet somewhere and say it´s yours. Utter bullshit. Disclaimer: Consider these my words only relevant after approval by boardmember Mekong. Consideration might otherwise lead into prison sentence, deportation, tarring and feathering in public and a fine of 50 Bht. (cash only) .

After checking again I update the price for 1 unit antigen-test Longsee 2019 at 54,50 Baht. Just came in, box shows 25. Increasing my saving to 7012 Bht.

Mr Mekong you seem to be somewhat disturbed these days but that might improve I hope. My illegally imported Covid-tests are number one in reliability on an official site and cost abour 63 Baht / 1,80 €. My financial situation does not allow paying inflated prices for a potentially less reliable product. Additionally I seem to have saved a total of 6.700 BHT consequently looking at 20 units in my possession. I also carry a box with 25 FFp2 masks with me. Bringing me close to the death penalty if I understand you properly. What does the blue/red jersey say? No see before. Buriram United?

Gentlemen, I start to get worried about my forthcoming visits to the Kingdom after having dutifully absorbed Mr Mekongs warnings. Let us face the cruel reality, say Honeybee Massage Soi 22. I sucessfully manage an interview with mamasan und became assigned to Mademoiselle Pi from Buriram. ( She wurk Bah only 2 munt , she velly goos. Many man like ) . I say : Khun Pi would you mind we both go through a 5 minute Covid antigen test to be on the safe side ? Khun Pi : Are you presenting yourself as health official which requires registration with the Medical Council of Thailand as per The Medical Profession Act BE 2525? Khun Bubi : Yes, well not really but I like boomboom too mut . I like boomboom. Khun Pi: Do you have a work permit? Khun Bubi: I work too mut, Jermanny all men work. Work too mut. Khun Pi: Your test approved by Thai goverment? hab many test https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Nk-QNSgDzZE_vaIHwEuC_gY2h2zTTaug/view Khun Bubi: The tests are approved as No.1 by our Robert Koch Institut, our final institution for this kind of thing. Khun Pi: Can take shower first.

For heaven´s sake what 2000 Baht are you talking about all the time, are you drunk??????

I see. - So why would they deport me then? - If deported, could I request to put me on a Star-Alliance plane so that I could collect the miles? - Next day Thai Rath front page cover story BuBi sitting handcuffed on the rear seat of a Royal Thai Police motorcycle on the way to the airport and 9 slim fit uniform Thai policemen pointing with one finger on me, would that mean loosing face or becoming popular, what do you think Mekong?

Sir, I smell a disturbing misunderstanding! How could anybody think in a moment of pure romance Khun BuBi could ever ask for a payment of 2000 Bht for a test kit that costs 75 Baht from the German wholesaler. the aforementioned 2100 Bht is what a PCR test costs in Germany or where did you get the 2000 -figure from? Holy Lord.

Sir, as you so rightly point out it is all a matter of getting the message over peacefully, something that escapes the possibilities of a hardcore know-it-all like our beloved brother Mekong. Would I for example enter the negotiation by : " Mademoiselle, I offer you a genuine Covid-test from Jermanny just to feel happy and good for family and all " I am sure she would throw her underpants through the window and scream " Bubi come to me no pay money too mut !!" Hope you get my drift, nuff said.

Sir, thank you very much for your valuable advice. To avoid incarceration etc would you kindly advise on the lawlessness of using a harmless antigen-test on anybody including myself within the Kingdom? First make sure you know what that is anyway. I would rather imagine they offer me the Royal Medal for taking care of public health. Apart from this you seem to suffer from permanent bad mood, try to get over it. Life is good.

The truely diabolic Thai special is that they want a CT-cycle higher than 40. Most test results over here do not show any cycle , want only 30 and then just confirm negative. Meaning the innocent traveller with a negative test dreaming of meeting the love of his life in Soi 7/1 might spend the following nights in a hospitel instead. I guess not many people are aware of this anyway but BuBi is. After phoning around I found a place where they print the numbers on the paper. Still got to have another one in BKK but at least avoid a heart attack. Test by the way is around 2100 Bht ( 60 € ) here and guaranteed you get it by email within 6 hours. What they charge in Siam is a clean ripoff. In my luggage I shall carry a bundle of foldable 3-part FFP2 masks, very comfortable version, easy breathing. Further a box of very reliable Longsee-2019 antigen-tests which anybody coming close to myself would have to pass otherwise I hit the road right away. Talking about staff at the oilmassage for example. Proper preparation is everything here, gentlemen. Got 3 shots Biontec anyway.

Customers better read the fine print of the insurance policy and possible email-notifications after having signed it. Either they pay nothing or only if showing symptoms. Further a pure quarantine after a bad test might not be paid for.

Sir, commenting your comment does not mean I assume having better brains than yourself I may point out, although there might of course be a possibility. That whole Covid thing so far did not have any influence on my personal life because neither I visit clubs, cinemas, brothels, soccer, nor supermarkets or any other place where people assemble in numbers. Not even restaurants. At my workplace we sit in separate glassboxes so to speak and wheneever I have to go somewhere I wear an FFp2 mask thoroughly closed around nose and mouth. Going on holiday I take the car and spend the whole day outside including dinner . What now may sound like a sad lifestyle is in reality what I prefer for myself, Covid or no Covid. Sorry, I am now under the influence of a reasonable quantity of red wine and forgot what I was heading for. I shall try to remember and continue at the earliest opportunity. Sorry again.

Stolen somewhere from the Barrow-site : " This is the opposite of what needs to be done. The preflight tests help people avoid mandatory hospitalization or quarantine when arriving. And it will allow infected people to infect more tourists on the plane, who then have to quarantine. Cancel the tests after arrival " Nuff said

Gentlemen, these are demanding times to the extreme. First the lovely Pam made me hit the road in exchange for somebody else, obviously missing the fact that tourist BuBi reresents the best that a male subject is able to offer. Worldwide. Second, my whole infrastructure after 2,5 years of absence looks like a pile of debris. Some restaurants are gone, massage shops including some ladies I felt very close with did simply vanish. My favorite taxi driver does not pick up the phone any more. Line is dead. As is mine by the way, expired. It looks as if I had to start all over again. But maybe there is unexpected glory arising from the ashes, the important factor is not to give up. Honeybee massage Soi 22 is still alive, signs of hope are definitely there. I keep you posted.

Thank you very much gentlemen, what used to be a decent throwing of some drops of water has degenerated into a raw spectacle. Doing the finetuning of my trip these days I cam across a so called Morchana - app. (sp?). In theory they now want you to take a photo of the plastic-box showing a negative covid-test after 5 days and load it up on this app. To economize the process I might feel tempted to copy a test from the internet somewhere and duely upload it. I am almost sure a load of sellers along lower Sukh offer this service on spot. Holy Lord.

Gentlemen, just about ready to hit the "Book" - button on the airline-website it crossed my mind that on my scheduled arrival 23rd of April they Thai folks still might be buzy throwing water at innocent tourists. Although the real Songkhran seems to be over by then I think I better make sure. BuBi no like.

Plus it´s raining all the time

The Lord in His eternal wisdom made Donald Duck the previous US President and not the current one. Could anybody imagine Donald the Fraudster to deal with the current crisis?

Just read a gem " Marriage in Buriram" for the umpteenth time. It almost makes my teeth flying through the room with laughter. A Norwegian bloke taken to the cleaners somewhere countryside and after paying alltogether 300.000 Baht to a number of people thought he was now married. God bless him, also from 2002. Mekong, I joined probably in 1998 or so, cannot remember exactly. My printouts are dated 9/2002 and show the Delphi-layout. Shall have another look tonight. What came after Delphi?

Gentlemen, yesterday took a box from my evidence room where I collect unbelievably precious items like 35 year old airline tickets ( PanAm), fuel-powered cigarette lighters and such. I found a folder which holds posts from the old Delphi Board which due to devine inspiration I happed to print and file. Guys like t.ngern, ricscurr, scumbaggio, greekelvis. If they are still alive? These were really great times on the communication sector before childish timewasters like facebook, instagram started to pollute the world. This was from 2002.

Gentlemen, they have pulled another dead person from the river; I wish to bring to your attention that Thai police seems to be handling the case professionally by pointing at something somewhere as it has been good tradition for a long time. I expect all to be resolved within hours.

Dear Sir, which still makes it working under the boat, should maybe better say under the keel-line of the boat, otherwise it would not be in the water any more once boat picks up speed. For an increase in street credibility I should mention at this point that I sold probably hundreds of speedboats with outboard, Z-drive, jet and shaftdrive during an earlier phase of my commercial efforts. Long ago. People dying from related accidents are usually somewhere in the water and driven over. Falling over the side or the stern results in wet clothes or death if can´t swim. In case Thai Rath prints enough photos of the slaughtered actor I might be able to present a powerpoint session at no charge end of April.
