I thought they were talking about Rupiah! 1,000,000 Indonesian Rupiah equals $69.74 United States

Ok, so the plot thickens - ? I have no idea if Stickboy was anyway connected to the Stickman site - https://www.stickboybkk.com I now see (source = Twitter) - that the person behind the Stickboy media network has left Thailand - and per his own announcement - for good. Related or just a strange coincidence?

Thanks Stick - I thought as much but wanted to post here figuring you would give us the inside scoop.

Anyone know what is going on with Stickman Uncensored?

Yes - exactly - you need to do a real test when you arrive at the hotel here. Once the results come in (and negative) then you're free to leave the hotel.

Not quite smoothly yet though - I saw reports of places being closed down for not having the SHA+ required certification. Also from today's clarification - but Baby Steps! “For those who do not finish their alcoholic drinks after the 9pm deadline, they should take their bottles home or try to drink up or just throw them away. Officials will be sent to make regular inspections.” My suggestion is to pay attention to domestic tourism first, then bring on the internationals - and even then start with people who basically want to come "home" to Thailand (for work / family) before the "normal" tourism is opened.

The PM may have been exposed to the COVID virus directly - which under the present guidelines would mean he needs to self-isolate for 14 days! PM Prayut-self-isolates-after-covid-exposure-at-phuket-reopening

Hey Dean - I would guess that July would be a good date to expect this. The expectation is that the quarantine will be reduced to 7 days for fully vaccinated people as early as April.

Yes, I saw that - but that is just the cost for the piece of paper - not the actual vaccine!

Brings back memories of the 3M (MMM) Hotel!

Sorry - that did not come out correctly - no - I don't own them - but they are available for sale - at least it seems. Didn't Khun Sanuk own the nanaplaza domain in the past? It used to redirect to the forum back in 2004/2005.

Hey Stick - good to see you here again. A few weeks ago you write an article about the old Bangkok based bloggers - that was a time travel piece back in history for me. Time for someone to consolidate a few newer bloggers/vloggers or now Twitter/Tiktok stars - something for Stickboy or someone. I'm surprised I never figured out the connection between Stickman and Stickboy. Still have both http://www.nanaplaza.com and http://soicowboy.com domains for sale!

Muted!

Larry King died today - just announced on CNN.

But didn't they actually pay THB 2 billion to build the Gold Line - or was that sleight of hand money - give now and get much more later? {Don't know the real story - but read that they paid which I thought was funny..... }
