Depends on mood of immigration officer and how much money you have, 

Still too many hoops to jump through especially compared to going to other holiday destinations! If your fully vaccinated and had a negative test before leaving why do you need another test on arrival and a 1 day ASQ. Do they think you are catching covid on the flight???? This is all about military and control? Good Luck Thailand

It still won't be enough without some form of social distancing, mask wearing, etc.  You just have to look at what is rapidly developing in UK, and now other countries in Europe to realize that. Well done, though. Another 20% to go before full reopening is advisable, and then start on booster jabs for older people, and national cases may be kept down to 50k or so, and 250 deaths per day.

Don’t worry we can just keep getting booster shots every week for the rest of our lives, until somebody finally figures it all out????

You remind me of Kellanne Conway and her "alternate facts", which is just short-hand for making stuff up.

 

I see you're using the Vietnam War gambit. Declare victory and then leave / run away. 

Prefer Conway to that lying witch that lies to cover the Biden lies????

Where can I read about that and not just an opinion, thanks

Hotels can’t be thrilled about a one night stay????????????

Can't you read? Never said that.

No science states that masks prevent Covid

How can a person take such a risk?  There were plenty of ways to avoid this, and plenty of time to get things straightened out, COVID and lockdowns or not.  Just a horrible choice of risk vs. reward

Arrogance or stupidity????

You have a change to get a smack in the face by people who don't like that you don't care about other peoples health.

so you are saying masks don’t work then? If you are wearing one you should be protected if they work ????

Just wanted to provide some positive feedback for a change???? My experience with the Pfizer registration in Phuket run by Bangkok Hospital was flawless. Arrived at Central Festival on assigned date and time, registered, jabbed and received appointment day and time for second jab 2 weeks later. Showed up for second jab early ( about an hour), no problem, filled in a short form then went into the main area, my details were input into the system and I moved in for the jab. Waited the 30 mins after the jab then received my certificate and on my way????Kudos to Bangkok hospital and all the staff for a job well done????????

The one little issue was the first jab registration as unregistered people tried, some were successful in gate crashing the party (Farangs), but didn’t ruin the fine work by all????
As a side note I didn’t want to get vaccinated but unfortunately needing to travel forced the issue and at least I got Pfizer.

I assume you meant Patpong, and not the beach in Phuket.

It was still alive last time I bothered going there, but the horrid night market put me off that street.

Yes Patpong, thanks

I think the scene was generally dying in some locales even before covid. Obviously some areas will hang on and will probably hang on for years but in general the foreign scene will contract. Last time I went to Patpong it was just a shadow of its former self. Patts is becoming something else even though its a very slow transition. Hua hin bars are being moved to less desirable location.

Patong has been dead for many many years, Soi Cowboy and Nana Road are heaving with activity or were before Covid! The government continues to underestimate how much money is spent in bars and nightclubs because most of it is not accounted for in the countries monetary system. They will never attract enough multi-millionaires to bring back the economy! The wealthy have too many nicer options and less smothering rules in better countries????

How many things have this Thai government done that helped the people and country at large???? exactly none!

Would a tourist want to go too the U.K. where they had a record number of cases the other day, 4200 plus !

Why not, safer in UK than in Thailand where they report over 10,000 cases per day and we are not convinced those numbers are correct????????????

Absolute waste of money, should be used to provide food for those people in need! Nobody outside of Thailand will watch it, they have much better entertainment available???????? Where do they get these numbers from? Should drug test those idiots????????????

It’s not Non-Quarantine! You have to stay 1 night in a hotel! Hotels must be thrilled with that rule as the cost of selling a 1 night stay is much higher than multi day stay, unless they Jack up the price????

Denmark and Sweden count twice (EU and Nordic).

And Singapore vanished from the three point list (inplausible).

Interesting to learn which three EU countries will not be on the list?

Belgium is one

Just wondering how they intend to solve the latest idea of a 1-day quarantine an PCR test, if tourists REALLY arrive in large numbers... imagine all the hotels who will have to accommodate thousands of tourists for 1 night only with all the cleaning requirements that the current covid situation requires for them... If I would be a hotel owner, I would NOT accept such tourists, except when the government pays me 2-3 nights for each tourist who stays 1 night for covid-checks. AND we need a new website with all the hotels who offer that service, I am pretty sure that all ASQ or SHA hotels are interested in that business

Great point????

I guess the Brown water and Tar balls will be replacing alcohol for the “New” wave of tourism, go Tourism Authority start the ad campaign while you can get some good beach photos????

I’m so glad I couldn’t get through the registration and pay for that Moderna???? Was able to get 2 jabs of Pfizer free and now I understand that there will be NO refunds for those that paid in advance for Moderna???? Even got the vaccine passport from Dept of Health (50baht)

I’m curious to know what the “ new model” of tourism is???? These decision makers must be on hallucinating drugs! They are putting an end to tourism in Thailand, good luck with that????????????
