It all sounds much better than it was. One night in a hotel, after a long haul flight most people would welcome that, I certainly do. I'm not so sure about the $50k insurance, whilst it's good that the level has been dropped from $100k it still poses impossible problems for expats over age 75 years. The $50k insurance...is that specific covid insurance? I will have to call Amex I suppose and check I have this bs and then send the hotel details if that is the case. If I don't have it with Amex then its going to cost me 10k Baht without asymptomatic cover or 14k Baht with. This will keep the place quiet for a while at least.

Yes, from what I read it replaces the $100k insurance requirement. I think this explains more fully: asq.in.th/thailand-entry-requirements

Bangkok seems to be opening up for real now. This morning around 08:20 at BTS Victory Monument I could 'enjoy' a close to pre-COVID level of attendance. In other words it was filling up nicely again. Social Distancing maximum of two to three centimeters. BTW with 30-day passes dropped the BTS may be making loads of money. For me a single trip for 29 or 31 Baht (depending on 25 or 40 trips / 30days) is now 37 Baht. That's a TWENTY procent increase. Buy shares in the mother company?

Her indoors asked me about mask wearing on the flight just this morning. Of course I won't be able to since its impossible to drink champagne whilst wearing a mask. Dohhhh!

There's an untapped market out there for a mask with a retractable straw built in, just for the likes of you. I'll start sketching some designs, we're going to become insanely rich and when we do we'll buy rubl a bike so that his commute is easier and he doesn't have to mix with the riff raff.

At least it's Thai riffraff and not some unwashed digital pikeys [img alt=" " class="smile" Careful, smokie's best (i.e. only) friends are pikeys.
