Oh man, sorry to hear that. Thanks for the update, I appreciate it. It's hard to get reliable info about Thailand in the US. I hope things get better soon.

More and more small restaurants are serving alcohol and defying local laws….these small bars have no choice if they want to survive…

I follow the "CB Media" channel on YouTube. He took a stroll down Walking Street in Pattaya. He was surprised at how many people were there so it appears to be opening up a little. Still, he says things aren't anywhere near what they used to be.

I kind of prefer the Philippines. People are a lot friendlier and more cheerful. The Thais always seem so serious and unhappy to me but who could blame them.

I call it an overreaction and a bit of lack of scientific knowledge

Thanks a lot man. Sounds like it's getting a little better. Still on my short list of retirement destinations. It's really difficult to get info here in the US. Appreciate it.

By following some YouTube or Twitch IRL streamers you can watch and learn a little bit about Asian countries including
Thailand, Vietnam Nam, South Korea and Japan. Obviously you get the tourist perspective but it’s unfiltered.
Many IRL streamers also have a Discord server you can join and ask questions, get opinions and advice.
...or you can just ask Viejo Dinosaur here.
