Embassy just confirmed that the covid test is enough and does'nt need anything else. Obviously it need to be in english.

Both of these posts give WRONG information.  The Thai authorities need TWO items:

1) a COVID test negative result certificate

2) a fit to fly HEALTH certificate.

These are not the same thing.

See my post of a few moments ago on the UK ignorance of this.

I'm not giving "WRONG" informations, I'm just asking.

On my country embassy website they ask for "Medical Certificate with laboratory results that certify that you dont have COVID19". This requirement does'nt sound to me like  a "Covid negative Test".

Covid tests are made by biologists/lab technicians not doctors that's why I've doubts.

Am I over worried?

a covid negative lab test is enough?

You only need a certificate for the results of the covid 19 test. It does not have to be a doctor signing. Most labs doing the test know what is needed.

Something from a lab doc that say "we cerify that Mr.xxxxxx after our RT-PCR test is covid free" ?

Im asking cause I live in a non english speaking country so I need tell them exactly what to write.

I've obtained the COE.

I searched for a medical certificate (that certify that I dont have covid) facsimile but I can find only Fit to Fly certificate.

Anyone can point me to it?

Does the doctor that makes it needs to be a virologist or any doctor (radiologist for example) could make it?

thanks

I don't see any significant change. Quarantine. Covid insurance. Visa. Where is the easing???

I can stay in thailand 270 days with STV and not 90 day with TV.

The funny things why was STV blocked from risky country while TV was available

I agree with quarantine, I just dont understand (and I stopped trying) why in high risk country you can travel with Turist Visa and not STV.

Yet Thailand claims to be in recovery and their currency keeps climbing instead of sinking, go figure.

USD has been diluted by 15% in 2020, that's why stocks are at all time high. Companies (also Apple that has tons of cash) take cheap money and buy back stocks.

Why is it a tourist dependant economy if its 11.3% of GDP ?

lets suppose turism generates 1 million dollar and I find a diamond worth 1 million dollar. I sell the diamond. The GDP will be precious metals 1 million dollar and turism 1 million dollar.

How many people lives with precious metal and how many with turism?

OK, be in denial if you wish, however even a very quick trawl on the internet will lead you to at least 10 different sites that say more or less the same thing.

 

The point I'm making is that Dr. Pathanawanich is not just spouting nonsense. There is a lot of supportive evidence out there for his argument.

So you mean that we have more vapers that start smoking regular cigarette than common smokers starting using ecig?

Open thailand, keep quarantine.

The worst scenario is covid infected people overpaying hotels and then go back to won country.

This way you will have tons of people paying 2000$ for 14 in hotel.

And they are quite right.

The tourist industry is split 40% domestic and 60% international so why should the whole of the Thai population be put at risk for those that think they need foreigners.

40% -  60% is weighted based on spending or based on people number?

so do you think that with 90/95% effectivemess thailand gov will remove quarantine and allow 5% of infected in the country?

forget about it.

those news are meant to post nice pics. Text is used just to frame the pictures

So if I've 500k in the bank since 6 months, and I can prove i've no covid and have insurance and all the remaining requirements, can I travel to thailand from Italy?

All countries', not just Thai industries are affected. Thai exports are getting expensive because baht keep getting stronger. And baht is strong because faranglands keep printing money making their money near worthless, especially british pound IS the one going down the toilet and along with their mess with brexit. In contrast, Thailand doesn't print money, they issue government bond. They set limit making sure their debt won't go above 50% of GDP.

 

If all you can think of is 'massage', obviously you don't know much about it. Look it up. https://aseanup.com/business-thailand/ you'll see how less important the tourism and foreign tourists are for Thailand as a whole nation, and they can survive without tourism thus in no hurry to get them back. Apart from places like Phuket where their heavy reliance solely on tourism. 

40 million turist a year, lets say each spend 1000$, 40 billion missing and turism in less important than other sectors?

How many people lives in thailand working in automobiles and automotive parts sector and how many with turism?

as whole country if you have 40 billion missing, you have a big problem.

The fact that they are not accepting tourist or doing anything to prepare to open in the future for them is not correlated to the tourism sector being less important than other sectors.

What about the girls though? Any evolved pay-for-play scenery in say, Athens or anywhere else in Greece?

The point was that Greece coesist with Covid like most of European Countries not that Greece is a better p2p payground.

we need a pool for the color

lets be honest, I dont know when my next holiday in thailand will be but all they are doing will make it great!

Or re-open airports and get infected and die.

They succeeded in containing covid spread, they wont give up this result and loose face, at all costs!!!

As I am not an economist, I expect to be shot down in flames here. Why cant the Thai gov. just do the same as the west? Print money. Distribute the money to the unemployed which would help to keep local economies afloat and maybe take the edge off a strong Baht? 

You are inflating the bath so prices go up and the exchange rate remain the same.

Thailand will never open up if they are expecting a covid free world to exist before that but they will come to their senses at some point. Expect it to remain closed for at least six more months. There is no logic that they seem to get so panicky about this while not having a slightest care in the world for all the traffic victims, for example. The rest of the world is trying to live with the situation and opening up within limitations. Thailand thinks it can isolate itself for ever.

A bigger problem is that they still dint start to implement the measures needed to accept tourist in the covid era.

If tourism is only 15% of the GDP then the other 85% dont need us .

I dont think that 15% GDP corresponds to 15% of polulation income.

Well that is just so comforting to know.  I live here in Thailand but am not a citizen, so who gives 3 <deleted>es about being able to travel to the EU.  If we could fly there then unless we met the stringent conditions put in place by this government we would not be able to return whence we came.  Sorry for the flame.

 

well, for example who have a girlfriend in thailand?
