  1. Praise from WHO an organisation that helped suppress the truth in regards to the origin of covid 19 in China means the Thailand actions are wrong.

    Luckily in the U.K. they ignored directives from WHO and have adopted a “living with covid” approach.

    The whole country is now back up and running.

    If WHO was in charge we would be having the current Shanghai lockdown situation still.

    Thai government cancels Test and Go, eases legal drinking hours, and more-Covid meeting recap

    By Nop Meechukhun

    Highlights of changes

     

    ●Test and Go is gone, no pre-booking of hotels required (except for unvaccinated). A.K.A. no pre or post-arrival mandatory Covid-19 tests.

     

    ●Thailand Pass remains mainly to prove insurance and vaccination status

     

    ●Alcohol serving venues can stay open until Midnight, although continue to be converted into restaurants and not legally bars or nightlife

     

    ●Mandatory insurance reduced to 10,000 USD

     

    ●Effective May 1st

     

    The general meeting of the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O’Cha, has announced the cancellation of the ‘Test&Go’ scheme and zoning relaxation in controlled areas (orange zones), effective May 1st.

     

    Firstly, Thailand Pass will remain, mainly to verify vaccination status and proof of insurance. This will be continually evaluated. Thailand Pass will also be paused temporarily to update the system for the new rules, set to start on the first of May. Those who have already booked will need to inquire individually with hotels/Thailand Pass about potential refunds or “grandfather” clauses after May 1st. Before May 1st, all current rules will apply.

     

    As a result of scrapping the ‘Test&Go’ scheme, all mandatory Covid-19 tests for vaccinated travelers have been canceled upon arrival in the Kingdom and only one self-ATK test is recommended (but not compulsory) during their stay. If an infection is found, they are required to go for treatment through the insurance process. Essentially, once one enters Thailand and goes through confirmation of their Thailand Pass paperwork and customs, they are free to go where they wish as of May first.

    I will now start looking for flights in May.

    This is very good news

  3. The official scrabble circuit is a complete nonsense. How words such as "xe" or "uw" can be used by anyone while keeping a straight face and smidgen of respectability is beyond me. The Thai guy must have some serious knowledge of some of the longer words that do have appropriate usage though, and for that, fair play to him.

    It would have been nonsense if your comment was true but XE and UW are NOT PLAYABLE words in ENGLISH scrabble.

    The words that do get played all have meanings in a Dictionary but aren't necessarily "everyday words".
