Reason I have refused Sino-anything is the US is about to invoke a vaccine requirement and Sino-whatever will not be on the list as an acceptable vaccine. Have to be there every year for 3 months.

....whatever one wishes for I hope this does NOT Happen...????♂️..Thailand, Georgia and Iran are likely candidates to be Moved to the UK government’s red list of “high risk” countries at the upcoming review of International Travel rules, according to "experts"?.
The next announcement is expected to take place on 5 August as part of the Department for Transport’s tri-weekly update of the travel traffic light lists.
Independent data flagged the three destinations as potential red list additions due to soaring Covid-19 infections, with Thailand and Iran both surpassing their previous records for total new daily cases.
There are already 60 countries on the Red list, with government guidance stating that people “should Not travel to red list countries or territories”.
Looks like Thailand is still on UKs Amber list..good..Also Bahrain,UAE and India...now Amber (from red)...so Gulf Air,Etihad and Emirates are a go....dee mak..

Yeah, I'm really on the fence about it- right now I'm a 'no', though I'll be giving it a lot of thought over the next few days before my scheduled appointment. My wife (who's Thai) wants me to wait as she doesn't trust the SV vaccine.
Same..Khun wife very vocal ...against Sinni.

Oh really ???? ok whatever you say.
I was not aware of Covid 19 pandemic begun in 2005.
my apologyIt will come in handy...if...fio..Covid travel rules for fully Vaccinated visitors from the US and EU were eased on Monday morning,meaning people could enter England without having to isolate.

This is incorrect. As it happened my name was NOT on that first check-in sheet. I dont know why. I had registered online, which was confirmed, and had received a text Sunday notifying me of the appointment. Not being on the list caused some delay and confusion but they eventual wrote my name by hand at the end of the list (I noticed there were 5 or 6 other hand written names). They let me go through. There was more delay at the office window but they sorted it out eventually and let me go get the shot. The moral here is: be sure to take that 13 digit number they attached to your registration. I stupidly forgot to bring it. If I had that there probably would not have been a delay.
Now have 4 x 13 Digit numbers...assume one cancels out the previous...?

The colour code was changed last week but maybe forgot to tell anyone...Would seem that hopefully...possibly... a "Maximum Controlled (Red) Zone"...is not the same as a standalone "Red Zone"...a "dark Red Zone" or a "Deep dark Red Zone".....cuppa tea time....

Hope not...however Could Thailand deal with this Possibility... Covid cases in UK with 70% Vaccinated...may hit 200,000 infections a Day later this year - a number that would Inflict “major disruption” on the NHS, a top SAGE member has warned.
Prof Neil Ferguson said it is “almost certain” that cases will hit 100,000 a day and hospitalisations 1,000 a day, up from 55,000 and 740 a day currently.

Have to be careful about the wording. That may be for travellers "returning".
A lot of the current talk is for UK people going abroad for holiday and returning.
Most of the rules i am seeing generally refer to acceptable vaccines as those approved by the country's governing dept.
England has approved Moderna, Oxford Astra Zeneca (version in Uk / Europe), Biontech Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson.
Search as best you can. I guess that It needs to be very clear by monday's relaxation.From a few weeks ago...cant say if you will be allowed to enter with Sinovax..?....The European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is the agency of the European Union responsible for the evaluation and supervision of medicinal products, has approved only Four Coronavirus vaccines so far, which are:
- Comirnaty (BioNTech, Pfizer)
- COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna
- Vaxzevria (previously COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca)
- COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
The following are currently under rolling review but a decision on their approval is yet to be taken..
- CVnCoV (CureVac)
- NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax)
- Sputnik V (Gam-COVID-Vac)
- COVID-19 Vaccine (Vero Cell) Inactivated (Sinovac)
According to the EU COVID-19 Vaccine Passport for Travel Regulation,the Member States are obliged to issue and Accept passports Only to those who have been Vaccinated with one of the vaccines already approved by the EMA.....

any idea what happens if you return to Uk, then told you need to compulsory quarantine, but tell them you don't have the money ?
What is the cost for managed hotel quarantine?
FIO...The cost of a Quarantine Managed hotel is Not cheap. The rate for 1 adult in 1 room for 10 days (11 nights) is currently £1,750. The additional rate for another adult (or child over 12) is £650 An additional day rate for those who Test Positive and need to continue isolating is first adult £152, additional adult (or child over 12) £41, and for children aged 5-12 it is £12.
For those Facing Significant Financial Hardship as a result of this charge, there will be an Opportunity to Apply for a Deferred Repayment plan when Booking. This is only available if you already receive income-related benefits, and you will be required to Pay back your Debt to the Government in 12 Monthly Instalments.

See my other comment on KLM, the Netherlands list still shows Thailand on the safe countries listYes I agree for the time being...and from Amsterdam direct to Glasgow...also still OK...fio...but obviously depends on what happens next...
If you’re not fully vaccinated, or arriving in Scotland before 4am on Monday 19 July
If you’ve been in an amber list country in the 10 days before travelling to Scotland and have not been fully vaccinated, you must:
- complete a passenger locator form
- take a COVID-19 test before travelling
- book and pay £170 for day 2 and day 8 COVID-19 travel tests - you must book your testing kit using the CTM Booking Portal – any other type of testing kit, such as free NHS kits or those sold by private businesses, cannot be used for these tests.
On arrival in Scotland you must:
- isolate at home or in the place you are staying for 10 days
- take a COVID-19 test - on or before day 2 and on or after day 8 of your 10 day isolation

"Travellers who have been vaccinated are permitted to enter the EU from any country."
One dose or Two ?
Some people may just want to get out of here.
But others may want to go to try and get vaccinated. This starts to close out that option.
Could the UK be next, and make it a red zone?
That may be fast approaching with the situation here getting worse the last week.Should uk dump Thailand on red list .agg..bit of a bummer. Had planned if no jabs here to give it a try after my new extension in Aug/Sept but now "beggers belief":.Usually go via UAE .but since still Red L was now sussing at KLM but that looks a no go.....Just bought a new flat in Glasgow with a Tesco /nightclub on the ground floor so self isolation would be no problem..hic...however still positive.. lets see...

Sounds more like your cousins have an axe to grind.
That is not the case in the UK.
you can, free of charge test yourself. The kits are readily available nationwide.
Maybe Scotland is the exception under the current 'misadministration' of the SDP
FIO...https://lloydspharmacy.com/pages/covid-19-lateral-flow-test-kits
How much does a test kit cost?
Tests kits are free, and can be collected from your local LloydsPharmacy in England, Scotland and Wales.

Although its only a Thai govt "proposal of fines of 500,000 Bt "etc ..it does rather seem a backward step for a country that relies on international tourism for 20 % of it national income...I will not however criticize ... only admonish after all they have been elected to serve...(finger in mouth) the good people of Thailand and what they come up with although obscure and disingenous to us "ferangs" its still down to them..rest my case...Last Chang...yes..chi..krup..gao..
