    Turns out the back building and pool is open, and at a good price, so I am going there for a month two weeks from now. Give them a chance, and I know the area, the laundry, the Family Marts and the back building is quieter.

    How did your stay turn out?

    There was an ongoing thread in the old Secrets Forum about a member that purchased an unbuilt condominium in Pattaya that went under. It could have been during the 2008 collapse. Check out old threads, it may be still here.

    And we anxiously await the results of the Italian genome sequencing of the virus they are carrying to know whether it is a new variant.

    And many countries are now implementing Covid Testing requirements from flights originating out of China. I would certainly question the validity of any Covid Testing originating out of China.

    My urban mtn bike challenge course on Soi Casino is no more, at least until the next big rain.

    I had a Bolt driver take me down this road as I adamantly declared and repeatedly insisted my condominium isn't on this road. As if the Bolt driver's stubbornness wasn't frustrating enough, this road and its bumps in a Yaro is bone jarring. A true Moto Cross experience.

    Yes, but I think it was occupied mainly by Chinese tour groups. 

    It wasn't just long waits for elevators but also the bun fights at the buffet breakfast. 

    Great Super Spreaders spewing droplets all over the buffet as they fight over buns and frantically scoop up all the seafood in sight.

    The Italians have been Covid testing volunteers on flights from Mainland China and have found that one in two passengers are Covid infected.

      Plus I am hoping it's a nice business class lounge with free booze. a

     

     

     

    Booze is pretty expensive in Canada. At the Empress Hotel in BC, I paid for a gold room to get access to the Executive Club, thinking free booze. There was alcohol available for purchase only and at hotel prices.

    I am not very keen to fly Economy these days because I am not a small person and BKK flights are usually almost full, so a very cramped position, having said that, my first few trips to Thailand back around 2003/04 were in Evergeen Class, which was exceptional good value back in the day.

    ?

    Evergreen flew 747's then and Elite class was in the nose of the 747 under the cockpit. Incredibly quiet, expansive area wise, full Closet in front and two seat configuration with entry/exit from both sides due to curvature of the hull. What a deal then and a pleasure to fly EVA then.

    My next trip flying JAL Biz.

    Gus, Petro is not getting any cheaper. I bought my airfare last month and the cost has increased $600 USD.

    Bangkok Reopening Trip Report

    in Pictorial Travel Reports

    You mentioned the Soi and apparently didn't visit. Starting late afternoon beer sales/consumption wide open on mentioned Soi and a nearby sub Soi with same number plus also serving. A FL venue on mentioned Soi discretly open beginning late afternoons. Noticed people entering whilst having a street beer and asked if open and confirmed by beer vendor.  

    But right now Bangkok is a semi ghost town and quite boring. Up until last week was going to Ban Chang/Rayong with friends for long weekends. Oceanside Hotel with ocean view rooms/pool serving  and cheap rates. Spending the days at the beach Umbrella/table Seafood setups drinking beer and eating fresh seafood. Was great way to spend the weekends with your lady and friends until the military cracked down week ago last Wednesday with follow up inspections. 

    Going home this weekend and will not come back until qurrantine gone, no travel restrictions and alcohol sales back to normal. Despite Covid have enjoyed the last four months.

    See you on Aldebaran....

     

    Never seen this video. Bought this album when it first came out (still have it). This was an amazing time in music this was the Stones response to The Beatles Sgt Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band (all becuase the Beatles did not want to tour). Then Brian Wilson and the Beachboys released Pet Sounds.

    Around 1973 or 1974 there was a song I think called Esmeralda, I think by Genesis. I cannot find it on iTunes. Anybody have a clue?
