I hope not too many more people get this. I had it last year and was brutal. i couldn't even open a bottle of water and know friends that have had it worse. Bug spray folks

If they remotely took a look at other successful countries in regards to getting vaccines to their citizens it would be obvious a registration and appointment system needs to be in place. OMB!!

If you don't like todays announcement just wait until later today or tomorrow ????

What did they really think was going to happen? LOL OMB!

Hope they're the negative tested inmates :). I was reading - i think on Thai Tiger - they are being placed on house arrest....WOW. They don't have to quarantine coming out a hot bed of covid but vaccinated travelers with negative tests do??? Wow, just wow!

Silly rules were flouted??? I'm Shocked!!! 555

They act like they are doing moderna a favor, as it is already accepted in many parts od the world already. I've had it, no issues. Take care of your people Thailand, they are running out of patience

Total bunch of <deleted>, vaccines are vaccines

How can there be summations of the long term effects of covid when it has only been around for 1 1/2 years?

So "vaccinated" tourists are less dangerous in July than June or even now based on what science??? Vaccinated is vaccinated! Mandatory 2 week quarantine to none is acceptable 30 days later?? Total nonsense!

Failure to disclose information is the cause? i thought it was the bars, so they said.

So the vaccine they didn't have faith in is now all of the sudden very effective even though it hasn't been changed :). Perhaps vaccination is their only way out of this has something to do with it 555

Lets see here. Moderna was one of the approved vaccines for foreigners to have a reduced quarantine whlle they were making sense yet it was never approved for Thai consumption. Foreigners with this vaccine were good to go in Thailand but Thai's.....not yet.   DOH!

Feel bad for those forced to flee. Thailand has advance notice of an oncoming rush, let's see how they handle this. Get those tests ready for those they can document

When has he ever listened to anyone ?

He certainly doesn't follow any science or precedent 

Apparently they do not know what a vaccine really is, maybe that is why they are so far behind in rolling them out? With domestic tourism down even more due to this rise in noted infections they need more money so they have done away with the shorter quarantines to try to make up for it. Wait till bookings fall even further! What a debacle

Agree with the OP however if they are waiting until Pattaya is 75% vaccinated book now for 2025!

It's really quite unacceptable in this day and age that we need to present ourselves in person to renew a passport - and that's before you take COVID into consideration.

 

The government should act on this and ban it.

 

Clearly any travel is a risk at the moment.

 

What government? Passport renewal or stopping the allowance falls in the hands of the issuing country, not the Thais

Looks like the days of young somchais going to 7/11 with no masks having the workers do their shopping and check out for them have come to a halt. keep an eye on those dirty pesky foreigners LOL

16 cops quarantined......what were their initial test results?

Wow, half of what they claim he has done has nothing to do with the virus or battling it. On the flip side he's into getting people stoned ????

Thais are exempt from having to have the vaccine and paying for it because???? Nothing like a fresh new welcome banner for all that tourism and retirement community they keep preaching about 555. This is important because foreigners make up such a large fraction on the overall population LOL

Would serve them right as they have clearly failed and been failing. Just finally caught up with them. The problem is whether or not there is anyone that can actually handle it

Did they really think by closing entertainment venues things like this wouldn't happen? 555
