So sitting on the beach watching the sunset with a friend and sharing a beer will leave you open to arrest and or a donation to the RTP.
Welcome to Pattaya enjoy your holiday!

2 minutes ago, smedly said:unvaccinated Thais can and do move freely within the country and are being encouraged to do so with various government schemes but it will be the fully tested fully vaccinated foreigners blamed for any covid spread - you couldn't make this ## up
So very true, Covid is rampant, only miniscule testing and a vaccine program largely with Sinovac.
The trickle of genuine tourists arriving are walking into a Covid hotbed and really will need good insurance or deep pockets.

Never mind he will soon announce that the baht 200 million cost saved will be donated among the orphanages, HIV care centers and homeless shelters for the people of Phuket as a goodwill New Years gesture.............as they can no longer see their idols!

Tourists are not the problem with Covid they are fully vaccinated and tested.
Covid is rampant in Thailand who have only ever done the most miniscule of testing and are a year behind with the vaccine roll out which is totally flawed anyway with the extensive use of Sinovac to appease paymasters and line pockets which are the main priorities of the controlling few.
Focus within on the hapless people of Thailand for the Covid spread not a trickle of foreign visitors.

So gormless! if you want tourists to come and expect them to ignore the rampant Covid pandemic in Thailand a year behind other countries in dealing with it, make it easy as possible to visit, not arranging concerts with no chance of social distancing.
Double vaccine, one pre flight PCR and insured would suffice, but westerners also need adequate protection from Thais who should be fully tested and vaccinated to work in tourist areas.

I don't think that you will need one of those .
If anything, it will be just a recent PCR test result
Isnt is now just an antigen test for day two of return somehow booked and paid for on line( difficult with a Thai debit card ) the receipt number on a passenger locator form submitted and copied for check in........still too much faffing about but better than the previous 2300 pounds hotel imprisonment.
KLM showing as no pre flight PCR test required if having a vaccine certificate, not sure about other airlines.

This is doable and acceptable for both Thai government and foreigners/travelers/tourists. It should help with tourism.
That would involve common sense and easing up on the xenophobia.
Tourists are at far more risk of contracting Covid from the largely untested and only partially vaccinated Thais.

In the case of Pattaya who really would come in November? a trickle of die hards maybe?
But if they cant have the simple pleasure of sitting having a beer with a brass watching the sunset and theres going to be a plastic screen between you and the honey youd rather have in your lap........ its pretty sterile.
Of course Pattaya does offer other attractions but dont see the queues of families of western tourists wanting the shopping, dining, resort and world class beaches experience and the full Covid package.

Are you saying that to fly back to the Uk you still have to fill out a passenger locator form and book and pay for online to one of many overpriced companies for an antigen test on day 2 that is available freely at any pharmacist.?
Thought this nonsense had ended. sadly im wrong, still cant just book and pay for a flight and go.

Yep all the major airlines have laid on extra flights, thousands of extra immigration staff at the airport.
Jet skis taken out of storage and freshly damaged for the tourists donations to the benevolent funds of men in uniform.
Welcome to Thailands Covid experience, miniscule testing for a population largely vaccinated with Sinovac and the virus raging away unabated nationwide......
Book your flights and as Pinocchio requested spread the word.........Deluded!

The Department of Medical Sciences has been observing #COVID19 variants in #Thailand by running random genetic tests on viruses from around the country. It input the data in the GISAID and has just revealed the results.
https://twitter.com/prdthailand/status/1448846092045488129
So Delta it is and the vast majority of Thais have been vaccinated with Sinovac largely ineffective against this variant.
Yep lets open to all tourists!
For the full virus experience book a holiday to Thailand for you and your family.
Covid spreading like wild fire available 24/7 nationwide ......but not alcohol .

Blame the foreigner I see.
Of course and as the nationwide expansion of Covid continues into November and December the trickle of visiting foreigners will be blamed for the virus carnage that ensues.
Nothing to do with Thailand two years ago being the first country outside China to have Covid cases.

Prayut and Anutin are acting like executioners towards their own most vulnerable citizens, when it should be their top priority to protect them, but I guess there's no serious money to be made in that malarky so why bother, lol.
Absolutely spot on!
They are both long overdue for reciprocal fortune, but Karma does come calling when you least expect it.

Covid is endemic amongst the Thai population, largely untested and many vaccinated with Sinovac ineffective against latest virus strains.
The trickle of tourists who do arrive are at more risk locally than Thais are from a double MRNA vaccinated and pre flight tested tourists.
The need for further testing and 1 days quarantine seems incredibly xenophobic or part of a master plan to shift the focus of blame for an escalating Covid situation on arriving foreigners.

Apparently total bullsh@t has proven 97% effective against the latest Covid 19 Delta strain.

the moment you set foot in Thailand you should have the same status as a local -
So that means you will probably have covid but are unlikely to face any testing unless on deaths door.

If they cannot open up to locals how on earth do they think they are ready for foreign tourists
90% of Pattaya city is shuttered and in darkness with no alcohol in restaurants and a curfew still in place - with the virus raging across the country - it is stupidity beyond comprehension
fully open locally first
Totally spot on !how can they be that moronic?
Is it simply motivated by extreme greed and not wishing to lose face and accept they are over year behind in dealing with Covid and the lucky amulets wont give Thailand pandemic immunity?
