I think that I am being practical rather than cautious. I am certainly not looking for a guarantee of zero infection. I am prepared to take risks to get my life back on track. I am simply saying this. We will all know that things are under control when we don't have to do two weeks quarantine coming and going. That to me is common sense for the vast majority of us. It is also a big financial hit. I want travel more than most because at my age I am running out of time. As far as I am concerned the millions of words about borders opening boil down to just two words. Open Borders. Anything el

The only thing I can add is that I don't believe in crystal balls. Who knows what the situation will be in a few months time? Will there be new variants? Will anyone want to let you into their country? Will the vaccines keep working? Will there be insurance available for travelling? Will everyone everywhere drop managed quarantine on arrival? The point I make is that despite some of the most comprehensive quarantine and isolation rules in the world my country is constantly getting reinfected. No one seems to know how they get into the community, but it's a fact of life that they do. No one

Yes but think about all the nice people you will run into! Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Thanks for getting my day off to a start. Not much of a start but I was alive enough to read it. Sad about Far East. It was a good afternoon spot for a beer and an ogle and managed to keep more girls going than all the other afternoon clubs in the area combined. Crowd funding seems to have come a long way since it was people who had a medical condition and wanted to go to Mexico for a cure. Maybe the moral is that Pattaya is something that people need in order to survive! Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

I dont think that you quite understand what I wrote. I was actually agreeing with you that a good travel agent is indeed worth having whereas doing it all on your own puts you personally in the position as an untrained and unconnected travel agent.

As an airline person told me, "When you deal direct with the airline you become your own travel agent". It might work out OK but it can also cause a lot of heartache! Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

All I can say Phil is well done for hanging onto your ladies. I can hardly imagine what you are going through to make it happen. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

I learned a lesson about New Year Resolutions this week. I have been indulging far too much and resolved to give up drinking, smoking and fornication for a week. I don't smoke and the chance to fornicate is nil. Yeah! I am two thirds there before I start. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Yes indeed. I wonder if I am the only one who has been so pissed off with the constant chatteriing of a client that its almost lead to blows? I can handle a bit of Thai music or in one case YouTube selecting what comes next but someone recounting every ailment in their life span or a CV of their boring lives is enough for me to reach for my clothes and off to look for somewhere more to my taste.

Hope that this one works. OOPS sorry. didnt animate. will try again later.

I can't recall ever reading about anyone using Grab, Bolt, Uber or whatever to go from the bottom international airport to Pattaya. Does that work? If so, service, price and cars? Any other comments? Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Great report and all the best for wherever your next adventure takes you. Seems like you have chosen a life style that most of us can only dream about. Keep them coming! Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk
