Hi there, hope this is in the right place

I'm looking to go back to the UK for a couple of months, but want to avoid the expensive quarantine in the UK

I believe i have to have 10 days between leaving Thailand, and entering the UK

Is there any country that would allow some one to enter from Thailand without having had both vaccines

I want to get the jabs while I'm in the UK rather than  getting Sinovac or mixed while here in Thailand , which is not accepted in the UK, 

Somewhere warm and cheap would be good

Any ideas ?

Thanks

I have just finished my second sandbox. Total spent Baht 39,000 for two pleasant entries to Thailand. It cost me Baht 52,000 for one ASQ in Bangkok in December. As an aside the UK wants me to spend Baht 100,000 approx for 10 days in a box in London for quarantine. Which is the biggest rip off / scam?

but you could save a lot if you take a 10 day break somewhere like Spain or France on your way back to UK,  no quarantine then 

no option for this on the way back to Thailand 

Thanks Guys

He live in a small village near me, so have convinced him that if he goes to Pattaya, he will have to quarantine when he arrives back

not sure what the locals would do to him if he sneaked back in and they found out, especially if he did get infected 

They say they are opening up in a couple of weeks, so not sure what that actually means for anyone living here who wants to travel, but told him to wait and see first

He needs to renew his visa there, but ifs still problems, should be able to post it, i  think 

Thanks again

Many we do the longterm, yellow fever, rubella, HEP A & B, smallpox, polio, zovorax, there is a great list of medical studies on all vaccines dating back to last century.

yes. mony of which are live vaccine too, but what long term study for the covid vaccines, either the "inactive" or the MRA ?

Yes...no problems...but avoid the flooding LOL

so Pattaya is not a red zone anymore and has no restrictions ?

Is it confirmed as directly related? or causal following administration of the vaccine?

Age and any co-morbidities of the deceased?

How many Pfizer vaccines administered?

What was the cause of the actual death?

There are many questions to be answered, even those rare cases of pericarditis recovery, but is damage long term? we do not know.

Your post only poses more questions. 

but doesn't this also apply to all the vaccines ?

We just don't know what any long term problems are ?

We know they save lives in the short term, but after ?

quick question for a friend of mine

Can he travel to, and from Pattaya  back to Isaan without quarantine ?

If he has 2 vaccines, of any type, does he have to quarantine  on return home

Thanks

Apparently it does improve your antibody count and resistance. 

Natural immunity does also wane.... a jab might be a better idea than catching it again... Also unsure how a different strain might affect you.

does this apply to Sinovac too, and for how long ?

seem to havelots of problems with using my Kasikorn debit card at Kasikorn ATMs

rejects my card saying insufficient data

yet use other banks ATMs no problems, so now avoid Kasikorn where possible

Let's turn that around: Every restaurant owner and manager who allow unvaccinated people to work in a restaurant should be reported and their license should be removed.

and any restaurant that if found to be infected with covid should also have its licence removed and fined, for allowing their staff to transmit this deadly virus

Happened in my wife's village. Guy came home sick without telling anyone. Closed the entire village, tested everyone, and several got covid from him.

 

She said it also happened in her uncle's village. Again, a returned worker.

 

As we know, the numbers they report are vastly undercounted.

happened this week in the next village. Shopkeeper and daughter get sick, so what did they do, they close the shop and then close the road through the village

No testing of potential victims, 

only the local retired doctor was checked and had to isolate for 2 days, and close his shop, while the adjoining food shop was left open with customers

If not for the lockdowns, the death toll would be much higher.

 

Your post illustrates a common fallacy here: if lockdowns work to reduce deaths, then some people claim lockdowns aren’t needed, since so few people died.

 

You could also argue that vaccines aren’t needed in Chile, because there are only 800 new infections today.

Thanks, you could also argue vaccines are not required in Samoa, Tonga, niether of which has anything to do with Thaialnd, just like Chile 

Nice word, If, says so much yet means so little. Deaths may be higher, or maybe not, how would you know ?

They do not keep a running total of deaths by nationality. One owuld have to go through every single daily announcement to claculate this.

 

There have been farangs among the dead here and there over the months. Not a lot, but some.

many farangs die each year in Thailand, but how many of these die from Covid ?

Not heard of one person yet

To be fair to the authorities, he signed up for the system, knowing full well the consequences of testing positive. Yes, it was a shock to him to test positive but having contracted a highly contagious disease he does agree, as he states, that the country needs to take care by allocating him an ASQ room. Surely he could not be allowed to roam free having tested positive.

 

The room looks quite comfortable. He did not complain about the room and as he has business interests in Thailand I am guessing that he is not 'stuck" in Thailand as such, but planned all along to do the 14 day quarantine (SHA+ obviously) followed by a stay in Thailand. Just my guess.

 

The interview, for those who see or read about should serve as a reminder though.....

 

but he followed all the rules as directed, vaccines, testing etc, so not really his fault that he has tested

So why will the Thai government not  provide free isolation ?

Nobody in their right mind would travel here if they could, through no fault of their own, be hit with massive bills

Use E85 only if car is explicitly specified for (check manual or ask dealer).

It's not about damage but the motor control (ECU) has to be prepared for (longer injection time).

 

 

Thanks 

my car says use E20 , but can E85 also be used ??

Is it worth the savings ?

It's an idiotic rule when looked at in context. I can walk to my nearby Burger King for takeaway, because it's a standalone restaurant. I cannot walk to my nearby McDonald's for takeaway, because it happens to be inside a shopping center. They're about the same size, so could offer the same space to waiting customers.

 

I don't mind using delivery services and do so quite often, but going on a walk once per day and picking up supplies along the way is good for me.

 

Let's keep in mind that obesity is the number one killer when it comes to serious cases of Covid. We really don't need even more lazy arsed people relying on food deliveries, when they could easily walk to a nearby shop.

want to live near me ??

Nearest burger king is around 55 kilometers  nearest Mc Donald's is around 57 kilometers, nearest 7-11 is 15 kilometers, nearest ATM is 15 kilometers. and that's just one way

Would certainly keep you fit, walking to these

Its obvious isn't it? People need to go out for food, in shops and markets, people don't need to congregate in groups to drink beer, apart from it being against the covid regulations in this Province, its also selfish and stupid.  Judging by the reported heavy fines they imposed when the idiots concerned  went to Court, the Authorities seem to agree.  People spread covid, as you well know, presumably stupid, unthinking, uncaring people spread it more readily.  

Is it ? 

why is it ok to spread this virus in markets, restaurants, shops, which most have no distancing, yet it is unsafe to sit in a bar or the same restaurant, with a beer ?

Yup Thai people spread it don't they, with the help of the government , telling infected people to travel for up to 14 hours back to their own province, possibly infecting thousands on the way, but that's ok. ?

Yes you have to go shopping, and if its so dangerous, why is the distancing, log ins, checks, phones, not enforced, why is the eating in restaurants without masks deemed safe as long as you only drink soft drink ?

Yet according to you that's all acceptable, but heaven forbid, to drink beer is stupid, unthinking, selfish, uncaring and will kill everyone stone dead within a mile radius

If you are looking for what happens if there are no restrictions, look at Brazil. The economy crashed, due to the problem of so many people sick and dying. 

 But  this is not Brazil is it ?

has the economy in India crashed yet, ?

Yes. You can be vaccinated and get Covid. The point is that vaccinated people may suffer less than unvaccinated.
