When you say "BKK" do you specifically mean the airport? Or Bangkok?

Believe they had such a machine ages ago, at Suvarnabhumi, for ARRIVALS. That was temporary.

Where did you get the info which reflects your understanding?

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll give it a try. I like Healthland since it is consistent and no funny stuff, also close to the W Bangkok, my usual hotel. It isn't much farther a walk at all.

Hopefully the situation remains under control and I can use the gym and get a massage. Numbers look good so far.

Sad to think working girls are the canary in the shaft!

According to my relatives, their kids are going back to school on a rotating basis (1/2 of the school every other day) starting on February 1st, if the current trend holds.

There is one about 300M or so from the W on N Sathon towards the river. There are a few locations around the city.

These numbers will be included in today's (Tue) figures/daily briefing.

Will be interesting to see how they position this.

Seen reports that they're testing 10,000 per day (in this Samut Sakhon cluster) and expecting 8% - 10% positives.

Not a good development.

How one partygoer became Thailand’s first ‘super-spreader’

The hashtag #DJ Matoom is top-trending on Twitter after the recent celebrity birthday party of Techin “DJ Matoom” Ploypetch on the rooftop of a five-star Bangkok hotel became “super-spreader event”.

One party-goer broke his 14-day self-isolation period and spread COVID-19 to other revellers. So far, the party has spawned at least 19 other new COVID-19 cases.

Excellent one before Surasak BTS Station, on the same side as the W.

Exactly - that soi, a short walk in. It is really good - professional and spotlessly clean. Much better than Healthland in my opinion, and is my go-to place for a couple of years now
