I'd let the girl girl in the multicoloured blouse and white bikini top sit on my face. Looks like a nice set of child bearing hips on her. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillearly Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 The Tourism and Sports Ministry is considering a tax of 300 baht or less per person for foreign arrivals that could cover pandemic insurance, once inbound flights and tourism activities resume in the country. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/1916332/tourism-levy-mulled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just daydreaming over a cup of coffee having slept in till 11am Its a pity that there are no instant testing kits widely available a bit like instant tests for blood coagulation that they do at hospitals. A great scenario would be to arrive an hour earlier at an airport, get swabbed and tested. Those who show to be negative are given a pass card stapled to passport. Those who show positive for C19 are not allowed to board. Then seating capacity could resume as normal. At the destination you pass card has to be shown at immigration confirming that you are not carrying the virus Of course its a pipe dream but it would solve a lot of problems getting back to flying to Thailand I can't see flights and immigration at BKk getting anywhere back to normal despite airlines starting back up in July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea but I would not associate my thoughts with a state controlled insular country. Most airports have eye cameras these days. Big bother has been around for a while as a result of terrorism. No one likes delays at airports in response to terrorism but we accept it as part of safety. I would gladly arrive an hour early if swab tests were required. But that's just me.

But not at £195 a throw. But if they roll them out even better. If they have machines like blood test ones then they just need a slide for the specimen they only cost pennies. So it would be possible to test quickly on a mass scale taking a few seconds. But of course they would need to be 100% accurate could also help passenger confidence and of cause airline staff. I think I will write to the PM tomorrow 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
