This is ridiculous other countries still require the Pcr test if you’re transiting through,ie Singapore 48 hrs before landing,I don’t know who thinks these changes up, but this one is a backward step

They would rather scare you than tell the truth

This report seems bogus from my observation.  The bar they show is way north on Soi 18 in Naklua I believe.  Yes, not many people partying in Naklua.

Even during normal times you can find a deserted bar.

Plenty of places are open in and around central and full of people partying it up big time so maybe show photos of those places for proper perspective.

Sherlock Holmes strikes again

This is what is unclear...

And what I dearly wish to find out. I booked the Novotel airport for T&G as it is convenient in terms of going home next day. But no way would I choose it for a 7 day stay let alone (worst case scenario) 7 day quarantine. 

 

I suppose I can count myself lucky I thought I booked Novotel airport T&G,  but somehow ended up in Novotel Bangkok Platinum Pratunam, maybe a blessing in disguise

"It has been three weeks since the country reopened to vaccinated tourists and there has been no spike in the number of daily Covid "

 

I find this very mis-leading as the figures include all 3 schemes of Test & Go (from 1 Nov), Sandbox (re-opened 1 Jul) and unvaccinated Full Quarantine (re-opened ages ago)

 

The Test & Go scheme has most of the arrivals (69,809) with only about 0.08% tested positive since it started 3 weeks ago so why would there be a spike?

 

I wish they would report Test & Go separately as then they might realise how low risk this really is and drop some of hoops

 

That’s just too sensible 

One step forward 3 steps back, power hungry

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought they made the Astra Zeneca in Thailand

The covid extensions have been ongoing. 

Reasonably civilised gesture considering the times.

If only they would make so easy for Thais in Australia

don't blame delta, it was in thailand already before songran, with migration from india and the region going on till 1st of april, when consulates stopped issuing permits.

Do blame the government which allowed for songran to go on despite the third wave started in march by the very same government officials in thonglor clubs. It was purely face saving operation. And do blame their corruption for acute shortage of choice of vax - in march was already known from an India experience, that AZ don't work that well

Can you show the link AZ doesn’t work. Tell that to people who have had it

So some people have covid Kos many are sick

Thailand most certainly top 5 in the world for Covid response. 
It will be interesting to know the final winner once Covid has finished.

How is that recovery even possible when the rest of the people in the world like the USA, the UK et al are in desperate financial straits, and are in no position to travel even if they could?

The return of airline industry is not going to be quickly accomplished if at all.

Bearing these factors in mind, how is this return of tourists to any SE Asia country possible...

Even if an effective safe vaccine is found.... it will be months if not years before safe travel willl be possible.

Who is this guy trying to fool? 

China is the winner by a country mile

Apparently they have to take home a Chevy truck duty free to make up the 400,000

Can’t see this working

Makes you wonder if they were ever there to come

People have known long enough I guess the problem is not enough flights

Fair dinkum what a load of <deleted> where do they get these stories from

How did they get an elite visa Thailand’s not issuing visas yet

obviously a teetotaller 

Hahahahaha another load of <deleted> from TAT

it'll be classed as a public holiday so kids will have the day off

 

I think Thai people will celebrate it, a lot of them had a week's holiday planned but were told to work instead

Really where did they work
