One must question the judgement of those that thought nothing but the need to return to a country that has done little in the way of clarity……..Running to return to what when the current state of things are still up in the air!!!

One must also question the judgement of those constantly criticizing what Thailand has to offer & warning others to stay away, whilst simultaneously living there themselves.
As for those intending to travel to Thailand, their judgement is only really questionable if their expectations are way out of line with what's likely to happen.
e.g.
Expecting to see all the gogo bars in Pattaya open on 1 Dec, is way too optimistic.
However, assuming that whatever is currently open may still be open next month is unlikely to be an error of judgement.
Also, there's one other area where judgement is likely to prove correct. I probably won't be around in 50 years time. So whilst I'm here, I want to take a few holidays.

Frankly, I am a realist and have for the most part grown accustomed to the way things are and have noted and excepted the many changes that have occurred over the years. I enjoy a simple life here, I linger under no false illusions however, if I were simply a tourist coming at this point in time is a huge folly and reels either of wishful thinking, bad judgement or sheer stupidity.

Thank you Manforallseasons for your honest opinion on those not living in Pattaya, to not waste our time going there while the bars and other entertainment venues are closed.
I for one will not be visiting Thailand for a very long time, until everything is back to normal.
However, I am off to Colombia In February 2022.
Visiting Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena (coastal City).

Be careful out there. My oldest brother used to frequent Columbia for work, and he was assigned security guards who took care of him 24x7. He wasn't even allowed to leave the hotel room for a cigarette without security following him.
Granted, he did work for an oil company, but still... I guess the moral of the story is don't wear an ExxonMobil hat in Columbia, haha.
