Gentlemen,

cost of a proper boom-boom being  fundamental for the revitalisation of incoming tourism I did some research. Went on the Stickman-site where there still a sort of an escortservice can be found, name Smooci (?). Various subjects offer their services, lasting for example 2 hours and asking for an average 3.500 Bht. No cheap. No idea who are their customers at this moment but to my feeling no difference to pre-Covid time. Pricing seems to be stable as it looks.

I'm worried that Uber will take over the game, make you pay in advance and steal 35% from the service provider, give you a little map showing arrival time and then a slapper turns up on yer doorstep.

Also photo showing attractive lady, who then arrives with another attitude.

Kinda like the reverse of the photo below

Compared to other online sites Smoochi does tend to have higher prices, the others that I mentioned tend to be around the 1500 THB mark for 2 hours, on par with real life freelancers. Expect to pay 2-300 THB more for taxi fare.

We agree on the Silicon,Inking and Voodoo Doll impressions.

GRAB, Grab is far bigger than Uber in Thailand  for motorcycs, taxis and food deliveries.

Gentlemen,

as per today His Excellency Phrayut announced cancellation of quarantine for incoming tourists of 10 countries as per December the first. Plus the possibility of drinking intoxicating liquids in restaurants AND reopening of entertainment venues. Holy Lord. Civilisation is coming back.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand will end coronavirus quarantine requirements for vaccinated visitors from low-risk countries starting Nov. 1, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Monday, as the Southeast Asian nation tries to revive its pandemic-hit economy.
Visitors from least 10 countries including Britain, Singapore, Germany, China and the United States will be exempted from quarantine on arrival, Prayuth said, according to a transcript of a recorded televised speech provided by his office.
More countries will later be added to the list, he said.
Thailand also plans to allow resumption of alcohol sales at restaurants and to reopen entertainment venues to reopen by Dec. 1,

 

Velly goos, BuBi coming

Bangkok is set to reopen to fully vaccinated international visitors next month with "swab hubs" being set up to test tourists upon their arrival in the capital.

Bangkok governor Pol Gen Aswin Kwanmuang said that the government has laid down a policy to reopen the country on Nov 1 and precautions include testing and quarantine measures.

As for the shortening of nighttime curfew hours starting on Saturday, City Hall will wait for an official announcement of the easing of virus curbs to be published in the Royal Gazette, Pol Gen Aswin said, adding that details regarding countdown events will then be discussed

Pol Capt Pongsakorn Kwanmuang, City Hall spokesman, said that City Hall has put in place measures to welcome back foreign visitors that are in line with the government's reopening plan.

Bangkok needs to try and prevent transmissions among residents and foreign visitors so City Hall will set up Covid-19 screening points in the capital, similar to Phuket, he said.

In Phuket, screening points are set up at hotels where tourists check-in. But City Hall plans to set up swab hubs across the capital to carry out swab tests on foreign visitors. They will then be quarantined at hotels and wait for the result of RT-PCR tests, the spokesman said.

Measures will also be in place to contain transmissions, particularly at night entertainment venues which may be allowed to resume operations on Dec 1.

Measures include carrying out rapid antigen tests and administering vaccines in Bangkok's popular tourist spots, Pol Capt Pongsakorn said.

Asked about the Tourism and Sports Ministry's plan to invite Andrea Bocelli, the world-renowned Italian opera tenor, to perform at a countdown event in Bangkok, Pol Capt Pongsakorn said that City Hall cannot make a decision on the matter as approval must be sought from the Public Health Ministry and the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).

CCSA assistant spokeswoman Apisamai Srirungson said that the centre has come up with a host of strategies for the country's safe reopening.

They include taking precautions to contain transmissions among at-risk and vulnerable groups and building public confidence about the so-called "new normal" way of life.

She also said the CCSA on Friday discussed a proposal by the Foreign Affairs Ministry for foreign visitors who have received two vaccine shots with the result of RT-PCR test before arrival to use the Thailand Plus tracing app instead of the certificate of entry, Dr Apisamai said.

She added that this will reduce their time of seeking permission to enter Thailand from 3-6 to 1-3 days.

Chiang Mai governor Prachon Pratchsakul has also welcomed the government's Nov 1 reopening plan, saying the northern province will welcome back foreign tourists despite some new infection clusters detected recently.

He said that one of the major clusters is centred around a market that has been ordered closed for 14 days.

The governor was confident that the cluster will be brought under control before the reopening date.

The Charming Chiang Mai tourism promotion project will also be launched to cover 25 districts of the northern provinces with about 1,000 Covid-free "blue zone" villages taking part in the project, the governor said.

On Monday, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said the government will reopen the country to fully vaccinated tourists from low-risk countries without quarantine on Nov 1, in what is seen as a key effort to boost the economy.

The CCSA has also eased additional virus curbs, including shortening nighttime curfew hours starting today.

So rhat means you can be stopped at anytime, forced to take a test at own expense, put into a hotel for isolation at own expense so the government can screw the foreigners for more money,

What about expats, are we safe going about our daily business or will we de targeted too?  General Pinocchio must have read 1984.
