Yes. Whole family. And nothing at all.

I disagree. My Isaan ex-wife was a complete disaster. Came from a good family, with money and land etc. Ex-wife was a qualified lawyer, with a long list of academic qualifications. Had a good job in Bangkok. But a nightmare wife - lazy, dishonest, unloyal, and crazy. We divorced a long time ago. I remarried a bar girl (not from Isaan) and she has been brilliant for nearly two decades.

Thai government. World leaders.... But seriously do they know how stupid they are? Do they actually realise that most sensible people regard them as a complete joke.

Haha. Welcome to Thailand.

Jeez, these Thai experts really are on the cutting edge, aren’t they. No joke, my 80-yr old mum in the UK is more up to date on omicron than these people.

The best Thailand could do would be to let omicron in. Build immunity (omicron immunity also provides delta immunity but not the other way round) and start living normal lives again. Omicron is much much milder than delta (I am speaking from experience) and therefore at-risk groups would basically be the same at-risk flu groups. Live with omicron, manage the lower risk, and build the economy and people's lives. Of course, this could never happen in Thailand. The army-like need to control everyone and (laughably) to try to control the virus will remain a priority here. This regimental approach will provide plenty face for the army leaders - but it will devastate the local economy and normal people's lives.

Test positive ATK Stay at home until test negative ATK twice If you have mild symptoms and have access to food, medication etc, why on earth would you go to a hospital???

The words 'Trusted Thailand' is a clear contradiction in terms. How can Thailand be trusted by foreigners, for example, when the Thai policy in many state institutions is to charge foreigners twice the price of Thais and then to be opaque about that policy by using Thai numbers, for instance. It is clear that the use of the word trusted is in itself a ruse.

It seems crazy to me. What motivation does a fully jabbed person with access to online purchases (including paracetamol etc) have to admit to hospital unless faced with serious symptoms? Surely, by far the most sensible and prudent thing to do (once testing positive through ATK) is to isolate at home, medicate appropriately, sleep well, exercise within the confines of your space, and drink lots of water. Wait until you ATK-test negative twice (on days 10 and 11 (or 12/13 etc) of isolation) and that's it. What's the motivation for admitting to hospital, apart from lining the hospital's pockets with money? Am I missing something? I know loads of people in the UK who have Covid at the moment. Everyone I know is perfectly able to manage this at home. I know those who are weak, aging etc are not in the same boat and hospital might be appropriate for these people. But for everyone else?????

Yes. Useful info. I think if a family tests positive (through rapid test kits) it makes sense to isolate at home. Obviously severe symptoms will need to be treated at hospital. Basically, as far as I know, the medicine that hospitals can give you are the same that you can buy over the counter.

So if a foreigner (or a Thai for that matter) tests positive for Covid are they allowed to home isolate until they test negative (after presumably around 10 days)? What's the latest?

Face. That is all in Thailand. The truth doesn't matter about Omicron or another strain. Only Face does. That's why lying is so prevelant here.

Ah yes. Dr Yong, on the cutting edge of medical science and the very latest covid-19 trends and analysis. Thank you.

Thai male speaking. Nuff said.

With a bit of luck Thailand will return to the sex industry to drive tourism. Tourism will rise massively and the country will reap the economic benefits. Exactly like it did in the 80s and 90s.

Well I for one think she's gorgeous. Really not a fan of skinny Thai girls ????

Far more beautiful women in bars ????

Err, no.

Buster's Fish & Chips (Sukumvit 33/1) is pretty good.

Not a clue. Heads in sand. Not one single clue about what's happening in the rest of the world.

Natwest are a bunch of wan%$rs. The worst UK bank in my opinion and long experiences with them. Not interested in the customer at all.

Agree. Within a couple of weeks it will be every where in Thailand. But that might be a good thing if symptoms are as mild as being reported. If not, then things will turn shi$&y very very quickly.

It is here already. Of course is it. It's just that Thailand doesn't have sufficiently robust, consistent, and sophisticated testing policy.

Get a beer before you go through immigration!! None the other side. Go to the far right on departures, to the convenience store there. I sat around there. Completely empty. That's only place I could find!! Nothing open on the air side at all. Just the usual hi-so Rolex shops etc. Certainly no beers.

I was in the UK earlier this month. You need to check very carefully the rules for the country you are entering. And the rules for your airline. For basics, for flying to the UK with Qatar, I needed: Vaccine passport from Thai authorities Qatar airline Covid form PCR test 72 hours before flight UK location form + and booking post-flight Covid test (rapid) And then it's another load of hoops (even more hoops!) coming back. Thailand Pass!!!!
