    I wonder how  that will be "enforced" ? Pre covid Bali was almost a weekender and school holiday destination for Australians especially  from Perth who for the most part could be considered back packers. The proliferation of both budget and high end hotels will be cause for some resentment. Bali is specifically tourism dependent and moving the inbound criteria to the high end will result in a huge sector being disenfranchised in any recovery.

     

    Great, they already ruined Kuta beach, in the end Bali will be as much Indonesian as Waikiki is Hawaiian.

  2. Same here, in the end had to purchase a separate policy that covers $1,000,000 for all the world except the US and gave me the doc the COE needed.  About $225/mo and good thing I did it as I discovered while asking about the statement my US policy only covers me 6mo out of the country in a calendar year for life threatening emergency only and I usually am out 8mo. Needed the extra insurance.

    I just returned to Chiang Mai after my second Medpark BKK Pfizer shot and asked about vaccine passport.  They were clueless and just pointed at the vaccine certificate they issued.  The process of getting the vaccination was very organized but very busy.  Luckily, the expat community understood that Medpark was working hard and helped make sure things stayed organized.

    Wife called the local CDC here in Chiang Mai yesterday and they are not requiring travel docs to get the vaccine passport, just bring your passport and your vaccine certificate a signed copy of your passport and vaccine certificate and they will then set an appt a week later to come pick up and pay your 50 baht.  Was the only one there at 10:15am, took all of 15 min. to fill out the paperwork.  Location is the Nankornping Hospital Tuberculosis Center across from Suriwong bookstore Sridonchai Rd.

  4. I guess as far as length of protection, some of that is going to be individually specific.  For me, where I normally have to see 550 people in front of me in a 3 month span during flu season and under stress, getting the flu shot just makes sense.  I'll be looking at C-19 the same way.  Question is will C-19 become a seasonal thing as time goes on.  Why does the flu have a season at the same time each year ????
