(Optimistic post alert...) I doubt the idea of only allowing entry to double-vaxxed people will be implemented. It seems impractical and unworkable, especially if they plan to try and apply it for parks, malls and shops. No, restrictions are starting to be relaxed and I doubt that there will be any going back on them now. Schools next...

If you pick and choose there are some optimistic threads on Aseannow - of course, this daily thread tends to jump on any optimism quite rapidly!

There does seem to be a sea-change and a more optimistic feeling around, especially with the restrictions being relaxed. Let's hope it continues that way.

Welcome to the IT-challenged club. That's why I went for PulseTV - just buy a box, attach it to the TV and internet, and everything is there. Nothing to download at all.

I'm inclined to agree. It seems like a token gesture to make it look like they are doing something, while in practice it will be ignored.

Yes. My Lao wife got her appointment for next week. Very efficient service.

Great news. The vaccination requirement will obviously be ignored!

Does this mean Visitor and Settlement visas are suspended, or does holding a visa give the holder the right to enter the UK (subject to the same quarantine requirements as UK nationals)?

Is it officially a plateau now?

Wait to see if this confirmed - with such a tiny proportion of people fully vaccinated it seems unlikely to me.

And I totally respect your choice. I'm due my 2nd AZ in mid-October but my wife is still unvaccinated (not for want of trying!). However, I am happy (very happy, as he's been learning online since April and it really doesn't work for a class of 22 6-year-olds) to send my kid to school if they reopen before October.

Yes to all the above. But let's not go through this again.

Re-opening restaurants and parks is certainly a start! Hopefully, schools next. ????

They haven't relaxed the restrictions yet!! Hopefully they won't need to be reimposed once they are relaxed.

What percentage are vaccinated? Is it for the whole country, or just 'hot' provinces? Presumably kids are excluded? Hopefully Thailand doesn't follow suit, at least until the majority of the population is vaccinated (which will take a long time, if it ever happens).

I doubt there will be much relaxation of the restrictions ????

Of course. But there are not endless threads on Forums like this discussing them.

Exactly right. Online learning, especially for primary school kids is absolutely no substitute. They need to open schools soon before a generation is ruined. Not that the government seems to care.

It won't happen ????

Has any country introduced a policy of vaccination passports for dining at restaurants? I know there have been huge protests in France against the idea, but I don't if it's actually been introduced. Unbelievable if it has. The good news is, I just can't see it working here, with the vast majority of the population not fully vaccinated and unlikely to be so for many months, if ever.

Unlikely. Most death sentences are eventually commuted to life.

Like me, I would think he received his 1st AZ vaccine at the end of July, so the 2nd dose is 2.5 months later.

All sounds good if you just read the post. But if you read the linked article there's a sting in the tail. Absolutely crazy and unworkable.

Assuming you're not thinking of travelling during curfew (9pm-4am) there have been no reports of checkpoints. Just register the trip in case, but you're unlikely to need it. https://covid-19.in.th/en

Ah! I knew the figures were nonsense - a large proportion are forged. So in reality they're lower. Open up now!!
