We fuss and argue with each other and enjoy reading about each others experiences but at the times we are living in, I want to make sure that everybody is doing OK... Praying for the WORLD right now especially the US were we seem to be majorly fucked up in so many ways but still blessed compared to other places

I havr a confession. I get all excited when i see the title and thought it says irfan fandi's massage. I knew it mustve been too good to be true lol

Things in Thailand are pretty good. We still have plenty of food and the ability to get what we need. However, there is a curfew at night and between provinces. I do not think the gov't is reporting the right numbers as hospitals will not take non-covid19 patients unless an emergency. That said, I have no desire to go to a hospital to check. Thailand is very self-sufficient in that it produces most of its own food and other good. They don't really need the outside world a great deal. But, we will see if I am wrong. I did stock up on things that I thought would get blocked from coming into the country like American protein bars, Nespresso Coffee, etc. but have not needed to stock up on much else. All non-essential businesses are closed. Schools are closed for the rest of this academic year. I believe the curfew will move from night only to all day if number of cases increase. Hotels are closed for the most part. Fine of 40,000 thb if you are caught out during curfew. That is 2-3 months salary for most Thais. That is where I am. I am OK mentally, physically and emotionally. I keep myself active daily on a stationary bike in my apartment, read a lot, taking some online classes to strengthen my mind, cook all my own food in bulk and freeze it for the future, talk to family in America daily, and just stay inside. I am healthy and stable but sad to see the world turning inside out. Others?

Kind of you to ask. Always been a bit of a social introvert; quite possibly my reason to prefer travel for encounters rather local relationships. Thus, self isolating is a bit of the norm but I cancelled March in Santo Domingo and that IS rough. Husbanding my wine supply and waiting for the ability too travel again.

Thanks BB! Doing great but very bored! Best wishes and good health to everyone on the forum!

I am ok, just masterbate a lot, maybe too much. That's my only concerned.

Im working from home so that helps a lot....I have a treadmill, some weights and a jump rope....plenty of food, SNACKS galore....been cooking but ready for somebody to ask me would I like appetizers and drinks to start my meal...ordered a book online...stocked up on condoms and lube via Amazon for when this shit is over and have been rewatching all 5 seasons of Queer as Folks....

You have to watch the final special episode of the Sotus series under the compliation Our Skyy ep.5 too :

If I would stay in his apartment, I would stay in shape too

I received a first-person account from a friend who just completed an extended quarantine upon reentering Vietnam. He began his journey just as venues in Bangkok were closing and outbound buses were departing full. Vietnam authorities were initially overtaxed by the arrival at their border of so many returnees. Once transportation was organized, however, citizens were dispersed to quarantine locations set up in army bases and closed school facilities. Authorities then began shifting nationals to locations closer to their homes. For many, this was Ha Tinh province. Everyone was required to wear surgical masks and their condition regularly monitored, he said. Just as he was nearing the standard 14-day quarantine, he was told that contact tracing determined that a person he was in proximity to at a camp had tested positive and his stay would be extended for an additional observation period. He was tested twice during this time and registered negative on both. He was released to his home a few days later. He tells me that the food was good and new masks were provided daily. Upon release, everyone was given a washable cloth mask to take with them.

From Bangkok Post Focus shifts to sealing off zone where 2,800 tourists are staying ATTAYA: After a chaotic first day featuring traffic jams at overwhelmed checkpoints, Pattaya City officials have been forced to adjust their lockdown as they try to curb the spread of Covid-19. In addition to changing the locations of the checkpoints, authorities will focus their attention on securely locking down an inner part of the city where about 2,800 foreign tourists are staying and most of the infections have occurred, starting on Tuesday. The full lockdown to outsiders began on Thursday with five checkpoints set up on roads leading into the city. But there was an unexpectedly heavy impact on local residents even though they gave full cooperation to officials, Pattaya Mayor Sonthaya Khunpluem conceded on Friday. People entering the town were being screened at points on five main access routes: Soi Chaiyapornvithee, Motorway Route 2 in front of the Highway Police office, Soi Pornprapanimit, Soi Chayaporn, and Sukhumvit Road near the Office of the Public Prosecutor in front of Na Jomtien temple. As it turned out, many of the people arriving at the checkpoints had no intention of entering the town, but simply wanted to travel to adjacent areas such as Sattahip, downtown Chon Buri or other municipal areas linked with Pattaya City. More than 2,800 foreigners are still staying in the inner zone of the town and this is where the new effort will be concentrated. Of the 33 Covid-19 infections recorded in Pattaya, 26 were in this area, said the mayor. He ordered the five existing checkpoints on the east side of the town scrapped and the barriers removed. New checkpoints are expected to function more efficiently and help prevent the spread of the virus. The new checkpoints would be set up at Dolphin Circle; the entrance of Pattana Nua (North Pattaya) at the Prinya Sai 3 intersection; Pattaya Klang (Central Pattaya) at Soi Arunothai; Pattaya Tai (South Pattaya) at Soi Kophai; and Jomtien checkpoint on Jomtien Sai 2 Road. The checkpoints will be manned by combined teams of health officials, Bang Lamung district officials, volunteers and police who will strictly screen people entering the town. They will start operating from Tuesday and will be in place for three weeks or until the situation returns to normal, said the mayor. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1897390/pattaya-to-adjust-lockdown

From Bangkok Post Thailand and the United States on Wednesday discussed “proactive” economic, trade and investment cooperation, which will be crucial for salvaging the economy in the aftermath of the new coronavirus pandemic. The discussion was carried out between Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and Michael George DeSombre, the new US ambassador to Thailand, during the latter’s visit to introduce himself to Gen Prayut at Government House. The ambassador praised the Thai government for its success in implementing effective measures to bring down the number of new Covid-19 infections. Both sides expressed their gratitude towards the Thai-US active cooperation in various areas including security and public health over past decades. The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, for instance, has the largest office outside the US in Bangkok, the US ambassador said. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1895830/thailand-us-in-proactive-trade-talks

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow. I know that I am not the only member here who likes to see new content when I visit, especially now that we are getting bored staying at home. I encourage everyone to come up with something to say.We don't want the same old guys (like me!) to keep the content flowing. Let's have some fresh blood! Now, let's see. How can I decorate this post...hmm...

Sad how people don't fact check. Thank goodness Americans are too smart to fall for fake news.

That security guard (Turkish?) was a sight to behold. On some days thereby, he was the only one I really wanted. Alas, he is unavailable. When one worker was a little pushy with me (wouldn’t seem to stop trying to make a sale with me, even though I didn’t express much interest), the security guard did come up to me to make sure everything was fine. I wanted to tell him how he could really make things better!
