No amount of proof will be enough for some people.

So every airline/flight booking portal is going to update their website to ask if you have a Diplomatic passport or Work Permit and charge you accordingly?  

 

Oh & give you the opportunity to enter your receipt number if you're travelling on a re-entry permit? 

 

Obviously not so this fee will be charged to everybody (Including my Thai partner if I book us flights together) or (as I suspect will be the case) collected at the airport... Which will be a nightmare, will be canned after 1-2 months & cause irrepareable damage to Thailand's reputation as a tourist desination. 

 

Very few people care about the 300b but I'll never go to Bali again after having to stand in line for almost 2 hours to pay for a Visa to enter... It's not what I go on holiday to do. 

 

Absolutely right. Airlines will not filter those that are exempt so everyone will pay.

And it's nice to see the govt finally admit that those arriving by land borders are not real tourists so they can amend figures to exclude them from tourism numbers in future.

Hairdressers beware!

Thai baht is doing all the hard work, making exports too difficult and too expensive. 
suspect most foreigners are fed up with Thai rules, flip-flops and u-turns as well

Covid virus size varies from 500nm to 20nm.

Ha ha! God almighty you lot are desperate! You all keep grasping to whatever stupid facts you can and string them together like you actually understand anything at all. 
you almodt never get the virus expelled on its own, it’s almost always contained in water droplets. 
Masks work, it has been proven time and again. Don’t want to believe it fine, but stop telling others lies and bs

But no one wears proper N95 masks in Thailand - I doubt they can afford them!  The cheap flimsy "surgical" masks that most wear are not much defence against viruses.
 

The KF94 masks that are 10bt for 10 are sold everywhere and very common. KF94 is the Korean version of N95 but 94% effective 

surgical masks do not do much but still stop transmission by stopping particles being expelled in coughs etc

The science says .............

Largest COVID virus size = 500nm

Mask gap size = 55,000nm

 

"A recent trial in Bangladesh found that people issued with surgical masks were 11% less likely to be infected with Covid-19. The results suggested cloth masks also reduce risk but the results were not statistically significant."

That's an 11% reduction in transmission if everyone wears a surgical mask.

So the question is, would you buy an insurance policy that only paid out on 11% of claims?

Dear god, why are people like you still trying to convince others that masks don’t work? 
you need to be banned for good for spouting this BS.

The N94 masks most people wear in Thailand and else where do exactly what they say, stop 94% of particles up to 500nm and 99.5% of those up to 750nm.

Henan hopefully gaining natural immunity then.

 

None of the vaccines prevented transmission anyway.

 

 

Vaccines prevent transmission by about 80%.

BBC this morning, Chinese official states 90% of residents of Henan province have or has had Covid.
 

90%! !

That’s how effective Chinese vaccines are

Thailand will be inundated and there’s just one guy to blame
 

China is having the mother of all covid outbreaks because they only relied on Chinese vaccines like Sinovac, this though is enough for entry into Thailand. 
Airlines will now have to quickly roll back to COVID measures including mandatory masks on flights. 
Anutin is not competent to be in charge of any of this.
