Tourist Banned from First Wave of Travvel Bubbles.
I think you mean Tourist"S" - as for a moment I was expecting to read about a sex tourist being escorted off a flight full of golfers there ! Thats not the case the article was of course just about tourists "in general"
Re the other article above about how the Govt are opting for the more wealthy type tourist to come and stay in set locations etc, that might well still work out ok for some as I'm guessing the average sex tourist spends the same as about ten buses of chinese tourists per day anyway ! The only change aside from that then may just be more about relocating the boys to our new bubble - hell if they made the Bubble boystown, Sunee and Jomtiem that would do just about most of us anyways perhaps !
I've got January 2021 in my mind as the time I'd like to be able to go back Thailand and enjoy it as it was before. Anything sooner than that is a bonus and any time after that will be a disappointment.
I think it's going to be there or there abouts before we're allowed near the place anyway, whether we like it or not. But will be interesting to see DO they ease their restrictions in the run up to Christmas as that you would assume would be a massive miss for them income wise if even aside from the sex tourists but that the families who fly out for their two week break also are denied entry. Only trouble there is the Govt would need to be calling that decision shortly I'm guessing as those types of people usually plan ahead perhaps 6 / 10 months ahead for their holidays so leaving it until Oct / Nov may be too late to catch that crowd, but, it's also possible of course that THIS year the Govt may well be happy that people just DONT come and they take the tourist hit on that, whilst knowing they've kept their own citizens a little more safe. Will be interesting to see how it all develops. The only part above where I think you may be disappointed is the "and enjoy it as it was before' as I doubt on our return that will be the case either - but we'll see I guess.
Whilst bored yesterday I found myself flicking through random "gay pattyaya" Youtube videos and it's only when you can flick over the various years re the same areas etc that you visually see JUST how empty a lot of "our' areas have become in a short space of time and how the "fun" in those areas, even on the same months but a few years apart etc has so massively declined :-(
These days, I usually depart in early December, just before the prices get silly & come back a few months later. Therefore dodging most of the winter.
I'd like to do the same this year, but even going in January would be way better than nothing.
Truthfully Goji I don't notice any difference in prices between January and May or September.
Meals, drinks,, my hotel, off fees, motorbike hire and boys etc. They cost the same. However I have found that February in particular can be a disappointment in the number of boys available.
The one area where I see a clear price difference is flights. I like to take a direct flight from London to Bangkok and the flight prices usually go up significantly for any departure after ~5 December. As I'm usually happy to depart in early Dec, this is OK.
I agree the offs cost the same.
What I also notice is the supply/demand for boys is unfavourable between X-mas and New Year.
From early Dec to 25 Dec, or in February, they tend to respond much more quicly to enquiries on phone apps.
Some hotels have a higher rate over the peak season, but as long as I've booked in good time, I agree I'm not paying anything significantly different.
Thai airport officials don’t expect international flights to resume much before October 2020 and only get back to normal by October 2021
