Perhaps per week, numbers seem to bounce between 600k and 1m+ on a daily basis...still a fair old crack.

I will miss the bumps and holes on the corners that have been there for years and years.

On twitter Phil says will be out of hospital today. https://twitter.com/lepubpattaya

No what it now actually says is... The government is not considering relaxing restrictions surrounding international travel for Britons who have had both doses of coronavirus vaccine “right now”, Matt Hancock has said. Perhaps a little back pedaling.

And the UK is saying it will allow citizens who have been fully vaccinated to return from amber code countries (Thailand is currently one) without quarantine requirements. (Sounds like a vaccine passport coming up.....) Sky News.

Or when it is cold or there is ice on them..... or...etc etc....

And what is the status ATM for UK passengers who have returned to UK from Thailand? Rules always seem to be based on countries rather than Islands.... otherwise quite a few more holiday options could open up to vaccinated UK citizens.

Darn, I too had a similar habit when staying at the Rembandt Hotel and Suites.... usually on my way to Asok and on to Ekamai.

Oh What a Lovely War.

What a state...... I can't think how many years I have been funneled by the construction and stink of that area right at the entrance to Walking St.

As an example... today's latest on Thai Visa..... Pattaya – Pattaya City authorities, along with Pattaya’s Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the Pattaya business sector, is planning to propose to the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, or CCSA, a “Pattaya Move On” tourism scheme to welcome vaccinated foreign tourists to the city without quarantine in the 4th quarter of 2021.

I expect or hope that the Thai Embassy or one of the USA consulates would be the best source...... Reading the Thai Visa forum too, although that can be time consuming. (Lot of rumour, hyperbole and yakking to go through). It doesn't sound sensible to me though if you have no current plans or likelihood of travelling in the next month or two. So many things could happen in the interim, perhaps even an accommodation for using vaccination 'passports'.

As far as I know it there are a couple of topics written by people who went through this process. Yes a quarantine in a ASQ facility of 14 days (or is it 15 if the day you arrive does not count). At this moment proof of vaccination is not a criterion, Covid free tests and COE are required. I thought it had to be reserved before travel and probably paid for too. The ASQ that is... Covid insurance is also required which should cover hospitalization etc. There is just too much talk of ideas to make it easier for tourists, for example the quarantine was shortened before, but went back up again when the situation in India and Thailand deteriorated. There are ideas for Phuket and Hua Hin to allow people in for holidays, but hard to keep ahead of the gossip. I have sort of given up along with the Expat vaccination process saga and adopted The Man Who Knows Too Little approach, Que sera sera.

I thought of you the other day as I rode down Bong Koch towards 3rd Rd. Those drainage gratings just beyond Bong Koch 8 do not look cycle friendly.

Does that suggest the old pumps weren't working? No, couldn't be so.

And right on time, it rained quite heavily at my place.
