What is the current experience like for expats arriving in Thailand amidst COVID-19 regulations?

@Smart ********

how would a taxi to Pattaya be a safe and regulated form of transport, come on?

@Wayne *********

And what then ?.Somebody from the police brings me to hotel ? You didnt get the point buddy.

@Alan ********

No, Dormitory was actually less than half in that. Meals were always cold, pretty much repetitive. No choice. But I would definitely take the lower price accommodation. Second quarantine was about 60% of 80,000, food still the same, but at least it was a nice hotel room. I saw ASQs in Bangkok for going around 30 to 35,000. If I make it that far, I’ll hopefully be able to choose one of those

@Edward *******

good luck...because cheap not easy to get...at the time of my booking 80,000 was the cheapest that had availability.

@Alan ********

i’m very conservative, so I’m really going to wait until I have good documented proof that I’ll be able to get in under one of the new plans, because I don’t fall under any of the waivered individuals on the list. By then, maybe they’ll be 1000 hotels.

@Alan ********

you’ll find sarcasm is really not part of the Asian culture. Or maybe you won’t. Then you’ll have something else to complain about.

@Edward *******

I'm just about to send you a gold star...no I think 2 gold stars...wow such a hero.

I had to get a PCR for an upcoming procedure, as anesthesiologists can refuse service without one now in certain states. Once I started looking, there were tons of places to get a test, and very easy to get an appt within the next 2-3 days. I was quoted that it usually took 2-3 days for results, but could be up to 5 days. I got my results in 3 days. I think lab turnaround time is dependent on where you live, as I feel all tests are being processed by designated labs, so it's dependent on number of tests and capacity. I have heard of people getting the rapid test, and turnaround time was 20 mins.

@Troy ******

that's alot of lube 😳

@Baz *********

I think 2.5 litres of vodka and 5litres of lube is exactly the amount needed to make your quarantine ladyboy dreams come true.

@Troy ******

A man after my own heart, I like nastiness no puny ladyboys mind they have to bring tears to one's eyes or I want my money back.

@Andrew *******

Thank you very much Andrew.
