[Got Covid - Doing Quarantine At Home?]

Do not inform the condo people.

Going out of condo, etc with covid. You have to be within 6 feet of someone for 15 minutes together to pass on covid by breathing. Wear two masks or a KN95 (which Thailand has neglected to provide and should be disgraced for), that stops it. You don't pass on covid willy nilly. Watch Youtube, it's the only good source of USA information by doctors for covid, it has everything. Get 49 baht tests at 7 11. TheUSA CDC says 5 days quarantine is enough for mild cases, Thailand are idiots. I will never go to a Thai hospital unless I want to be tortured again.

Don't ask, don't tell.

Stop ordering food, just cook yourself, everyone has a pantry and frig full of food, just make do even if its old stuff. If you have a friend have them drop off food. Leave it on table near condo office, go down late at night with mask and gloves and Dettol to spray after you touch any button. Not tell condo mgmt or you will be banned forever. This is serious now, my two girlfriends are already in 10 days quarantine (free for Thais). It's coming soon the lockdown. I have it and had three vaccines. Sometimes you need to buy tests, go out at night with gloves and mask to 7/11 quick and back. No dawdling. Isolation is a drag. Go for a bike ride alone at 2am in the backwoods.

I seriously doubt your condo management will be cool with this. In all likelihood they'll report you and you'll be forced into 14 days Q at an expense. If me I'd just sweat it out at home and tell nobody. Can't your GF call some friends and have them buy a bunch of packs of mama and some bread and whatever and leave it outside your door? That's what I would do. All the best and let us know how it goes.

Don't ask, don't tell.

She is one of the famous K pop idols but she is Thai. One of the few K pop idols that is not Korean. 

 

I don't understand the need for such expensive artist to perform. But im sure some kickbacks and stuff will help the ones who organize it. Money like this could better be spend elsewhere. 

Get Carabao and some great female mullam artists and send the rest of the money to Thai orphanages desperate for money. Baan Jing Jai and TakeCareKids in Pattaya for example.

On the other hand,

Western countries enslave and have no respect for (middle class white) men.

Which is why most of us moved here.

If you don't like the way things are done in Thailand, why not move somewhere where the laws are more to your liking?

No you moved here because no British women would

give you the time of day.

Want to know Thailand's child support system?  Just picture Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, Bangla Rd, Walking Street, ect during normal times.

Here is the draft of a law I have been proposing to foundations but obviously in Thailand it goes in one ear and out the other. What you are referring to is the reason Thailand is at the bottom of surveys. Thailand men enslave  and have no respect for women, it's as simple as that. Stop worrying about fishing boats and focus on women in Isaan who have to become bargirls. Do something about that wretch at Nightwish who is a slave trader. Thailand has very bad country Karma. Why do all the Thai women I meet say they will never marry another Thai man. Thank you, somebody try to get this passed.

[How many of you actually use the pool]

4 minutes ago, thefactoryoutlet said:

if your pool is small, this is ridiculous to exercise, better not pay for one. Most people have useless pools.

If you really want to train, live in a condo with a very big pool and never stop using it from the first day.

People who tell you that they really exercise in a small house pool are pure liars.

 

Aeras has two pools and even before lockdown I was the only one swimming out of 40 floors. This morning on the 5th floor pool at 11-12, no one but me, no one in fitness. And we're accused of spreading the virus. Let the condo make the rules. Exasperated. Lucky for them I am not in Bangkok.

500 baht at condo I used to stay at. Next time try to keep it in your pants..always avoids trouble later (????)

I thought it was, I think it was a ghost took it just to make me sweat. I tried to take this lady from Pattaya back to Jomtien at 8:30 to my condo before I took her home, I wanted to help her out with some pills for a cough. When I got to the condo I couldn't find the key and it was 8:40 before the curfew. I looked all over the car and then had to drive her back down the beach before the curfew. I made it back at 8:59 and I could see 2 police cars warning people on the beach to go home. Gave her the pills this morning.

And it only took 10 minutes to program the card and 10 to go upstairs and redo the door. The bonus is that they gave me the secret door code so I can open it myself if I lose the card again or forget it inside. No condo eve gave me the secret code, it's only for owners they said. Thanks

500.

 

The cards don't cost much despite being custom printed. But they need to go and wipe your old card number out of all gate access systems, etc. and register new ones. So most of the fee is for this activity. not card itself.

Really, laborers make 300 for a day and these people spend 10 minutes on a computer and send someone up with you for 10 minutes and they want 500 baht. Give me a  break.

My hi-so condo wants 500 baht for a replacement key card. I lost mine. I never or has anyone I know personally paid more than 200. I told them I'll pay 500 but I'm deducting 300 from the rent. Agent said the co-owners approved 500 in a meeting for by-laws. Help!

[Has anyone had a dose of AZ followed by a dose of Pfizer?]

12 hours ago, Sheryl said:

I had 1 AZ in Thailand then 2 Pfizer in US (could not get certificate for full vaccination based on AZ + 1 Pfizer). Had the 1st Pfizer (2nd vaccine) 4 1/2 weeks after the AZ then the second Pfizer (3rd vaccine) 21 days after that. If it had an option I would have had just the 1 Pfizer but I needed proof of full vaccination in the US.

 

To my understanding when mixing vaccines you should wait the interval specified for the prior vaccine before the next one. In other words at least 4 weeks after AZ before getting another vaccine. 

 

Now returning to Thailand and face the problem of getting a Thai vaccine certificate as current system does not recognize vaccines given outside of Thailand. May have to get a 2nd AZ in order to get the "green card" though I certainly don' otherwise need it. 

I'm getting 3rd jab after 3 weeks, Pfizer.
