I'm sure it will be interesting. How long are you going? Please report your experience.Originally Posted by manpower08
There is a lot of paperwork to enter Thailand plus 2 separate, one night quarantine hotel visits. Also if you sit next to someone on the plane who tests positive, you can also be quarantined. Certainly a deterrent. I’m now in Bangkok awaiting my test result. I’m feeling well but a bit toey.
Not better In Bangkok. Probably worse
Pattaya is a ghost town. You will be disappointed.
I have heard patts picking up a bit although far from it's best...eager to hear what manpower reports back
I know a bar owner there, it's a disaster, half the bars are closed many won't ever reopen, it's dead there....
More activity in Patong than in Pattaya.
Confirmation with only 1 day self isolation from ML was planning to visit Thailand for Thai New Year celebration.
In coming weeks Sydney will be short of Thai ladies
Yeah Walking St is dead, Soi 6 is dead, Tree Town is in ICU on a ventilator.
The Thai authorities were never comfortable with Pattaya being a sex tourism destination for dirty old sleazy men from all over the world - first Westerners, and then Indians, Chinese etc. But they swallowed their pride and let it happen for the money.
But Covid has given them a chance to change and reinvent the city and make it a "normal" tourism destination for domestic Thais and foreign tourists, families, couples, coach tours, upmarket tourists etc.
It will never be the sex tourism destination it once was.
Of course there will still be women for sale in Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai etc, but "Disneyland for ugly fat old men" is gone forever.
Mate that is Songkran, which happens to be in April (13th)
So you got ore than a few ‘weeks’ too worry and fret..
I thought I read Songkran celebrations will be cancelled for the 3rd year straight...
As long we still have cheap airfares, hotel, foods and women. The dick will point to the right direction and no other place is better than Thailand.
Disagree. Vietnam now leaves it for dead.
Did Bangkok and Pattaya for 5 years in a row, and Vietnam as well.
Vietnam for me every day
Where is the best spot to go in Vietnam??
WeChat just about anywhere!
Start at HCM and work your way around
Do you speak Vietnamese?
I've got WeChat, thanks for info, I'll definitely check out HCM and Hanoi when things reopen properly again....
No. Isn’t an issue. Use translate or mostly the ladies like to practice their English
Just remember to be polite
Im going in late March, Bangkok Pattaya Phuket, my only concern is testing positive on day 1 or 5 and having to stay in hospital until negative. If that happens i will just extend the trip longer to make up for the hospital stay, im looking at a 6 week trip. Cover more travel insurance is what i will be getting
There’s actually more Covid cases here than there so just as good a chance of getting it here as there. In Bangkok yesterday there was around 3,000 cases in a population of 10m. Of course there will be people not getting tested but that’s happening here too.
