Is Thailand still being weird about Covid? Define weird. 😆 WE have no covid, very few places requiring masks and people getting on with life just fine. Borders remain pretty tightly enclosed unless you have a long term visa, money and are prepared to do the Q. Let's just politely say ain't no broke-ass digital nomads coming to the Land of Smiles anytime soon, and the US passport is at the almost-bottom of every immigration official's list. We've had only 60 deaths total out of 70 million and have first batches of bubble-country tourists starting: China, Finland, New Zealand, Vietnam and South Korea. It's as much about containing the negative western narrative as it is about any virus. Asia is becoming Asian again.

Uhm alright. I'd be lying if I didn't say:
I can feel the tension you have toward someone who has no control over the ground they're birthed on.
One of the sweetest people my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting while being broke-ass digital nomads was a young lady from Thailand. She was touring with another young woman from South Korea--likely another pair of broke-ass digital nomads (probably why we got along so well).
We were at a cooking class in Rome, thankfully.. you know, being so broke and all. She was real sweet, we got along great and exchanged emails and WhatsApp info--we still keep in touch regularly and they're planning on paying us a visit in this negative western narrative as soon as this (whatever 'this' is) goes away but we got along exceptionally well so our door is always open.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend @artemislives.
We (the US) notched over 100,000 cases yesterday and for several days in a row now. Our death rate is under 1% but that's still 1000 people that will die in the next three weeks. From yesterday. Sigh. It looks like the Feds are actually looking for herd immunity. It will take a minimum of 200,000 total deaths to get there.
So I understand why the US passport is the bottom. Makes perfect sense to me.
