Donated!!..and the Thai govt will turn around and charge their people 3000 baht

big spending???  what am I missing?

they are getting desperate but still trying to save face...this news to me is just a reflection that the number of projected arrivals is anywhere near what they have anticipatedly been bragging about

so can people travel to non blue zone places?

all I can say is get ready for complete confusion and chaos on November 1st

what about kids

Reporting standards are very sloppy in Thailand.  What government officials sometimes say is not very precise.  A lot of shortcuts are taken.  Thai is a high-context language while English is a low-context language.   It's easier to say "you must have 2 jabs" when what you really mean to say is that "you must have the number of jabs the manufacturer of your vaccine recommends to be considered fully vaccinated, which for J&J is one, and which for all other vaccines is two doses."

There is no place in the world where one jab of J&J is not considered to be fully vaccinated.  This includes Thailand.  

The article also states that one must have a RT-PCR within 72 hours of ARRIVAL in Thailand.  This horse has been beaten to death already.  The rule that has been enforced has always been within 72 hours of DEPARTURE.  The people making these statements are very sloppy and imprecise.  The people writing the articles based on these statements aren't any better.  The result is that what gets reported in the media is an almost unrecognizable facsimile of the original intention.  Given that, there's no reason to believe that there has been an official change from ARRIVAL to DEPARTURE.   It is much much more likely that it was said mistakenly or reported mistakenly.  In Thailand we have to wait for the dust to settle and the corrections to be made and the misunderstandings to be rectified before getting too excited by the news.

very well said and I hope you are right

You know this how?  Why do you believe this?

because they are indicating that they only accept those wo have 2 doses...JJ is one dose...and you know how vague everything is...I can just see showing up with my card showing 1 dose JJ...and all they see is 1 dose on the card and immediatly assume I only had one dose of anything instead of actually differenciating

so they don't recognize the one dose JJ vaccine which is clearly better than the Chinese <deleted> sinovac?

and they are not accepting the JJ vax!!...because it only requires one dose...IDIOTS!

The OP article appears to be saying they'll accept a single J&J dose, which is an approved vaccine in Thailand (though the article's wording on that isn't so great).

 

The exception the article's talking about isn't an exception to being accepted, but rather, an exception being J&J is a single dose unlike all the other two-dose regimens.

 

which means what?...are they accepting the single dose JJ or not?

so the single dose J&J is not recognized...but the <deleted> chinese sinovac is?

and I have the J&J vaccine which is not recognized?...why?...it is everywhere else...<deleted> Them!

now November...before October...next january

Thailand paving the way for the children of the world

another hub in the making
