The prospect of having to self quarantine after returning from Thailand is likely to put off potential visitors from the UK.

I think more to the point are the restrictions imposed by Thailand on foreign visitors and the hoops they have to jump through to avoid any heavy penalties from the Thai government, I hope the Thai government have released all the relevant information and restrictions that are involved when visiting Phuket ..............!!!

The island is racing to vaccinate as many people as possible in the hope that, if 70% of the population are vaccinated before 1 July, Phuket will become the first Thai destination to reopen to foreign tourists.

If the people are not vaccinated now they have failed, it takes two weeks following the second jab before people are fully protected

Having an earthing system would help

They filled out their report with old statistics for tourist revenue in Pattaya, the devastating impact of the pandemic on revenues and the fact that only  a little over 100 out of over 1000 hotels were even open. 

Add to this the fact that there is no entertainment or social scene and the need to either eat at the hotel if you can find one open or the local 7-11 and you have the makings for a huge flop

While sharing memorable experiences that await all visitors in Phuket through the three Leicester City FC players, the TVC is also sending out emotional memories with postcard images of sporting activities; such as, scuba diving, snorkelling, surfing, sailing, parachuting and a triathlon, as well as natural attractions, the old town, and cuisine.

Why reminisce on what has passed, this surely is a false advert as many of the noted activities are not on offer plus the place is only a shadow of itself with no entertainment or social night life ............. 

Who in their right minds will come while all entertainment places are closed along with dining establishments and bar areas plus one must wear a mask or face further fines. When you read through all the requirements it makes a mockery of the word HOLIDAY ..........................LOL

The person on the other end of the line said take down the post....or else. She said she'd go to the hospital to carry on the good fight regardless. 

The person who contacted this brave lady doctor should be publicly identified and shamed ...............!!!

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Society for Online News Providers (SONP) has launched a new campaign called “Save Thai 2021”, aiming to use online news channels to provide complete, accurate and reliable information to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One would think this would be the normal work practice, are they saying they don't normally do this .........LOL
