Talk is cheap, too many obstacles to entering Thailand, too many restrictions when here, unstable leadership that chops and changes in a whim and finally, wealthy people are not stupid, they go somewhere where they feel safe and not ripped off, sorry Thailand you are way down the list of attractive countries to visit????

I’m not sure the MorProm app will work when arriving in other countries, you can take your vaccine certificate to department of health and they will give you an official looking vaccine passport. It will cost you 50 baht????

What exactly did he do???? He was the cause of UK putting Thailand in the Red list in the first place????????????

This is great news for people going to the UK but Thailand needs to do the same and get rid of the stupid COE and extra insurance and make it easier to get into Thailand!

They keep plucking these revenue numbers from the sky???? Domestic tourism will be down because so many Thais have less money to spend because of closed businesses and being out of work! They should stick with the billionaire tourists who will be arriving in their private jets and buckets of money????

How should I know, ask the BBC.

What ever the BBC says just believe the opposite????????????

I understand Thailand will be spending billions of dollars on upgrading all airports in order to handle the huge influx of private jets that the millions of visiting billionaires will be arriving in????Probably devastate the taxi mafia????

We can only guess what “fairy tale” stories they are peddling at that pavilion???? 

I think the saddest issue with social media is how it affects kids, the peer pressure, the bullying, the suicides, issues that don’t surface until too late???? But big tech don’t care as they haul in $billions and exploit teens and adding social pressure on them that in most cases parents don’t know about????Guys like Jack Dorsey don’t care as long as he keeps getting richer????????????

And, if memory is in order, New York (and other US cities?) charge a bed tax at hotels. I stand to be corrected.

Yes and Vegas has a nightly “tourist” tax which is quite steep I think around 20% to 30%

Probably self inflicted to distract from Facebook whistleblower who is to testify in front of US Congress today????

The Thai government look after foreigners more than their own. How many Thais do you know who  have had Pfizer? How many expat? 

It clearly states that the French government is providing this Moderna not the Thai government, I think you are pointing your finger at the wrong government! In fact they are also providing it for Thai wife’s and children????

He is delusanul………..still????
 

Wow! What a surprise to hear that????

Oh what a surprise???????????? Just couldn’t find enough people to jump through ridiculous hoops to go for a holiday where everything is locked down and couldn’t even get a cold beer????

Makes you think that vaccines are just a political thing with a political agenda???? I would have thought that being fully vaccinated with Pfizer for instance is fully vaccinated, if they want to make sure your not carrying the virus surely a Covid test within 72 hours of departure and within 48 hours following arrival should satisfy  any scientific requirements or are we not bothered about science anymore? Come in Boris, show us your cards????

Thought they were closing the Sandbox if they got 90 cases in a week???? Goal posts keep changing????

More blue skying by dreamers????

Biggest waste of time going! It’s about time immigration did away with this time wasting hassle! I guess it gives them something to do????

You can’t really blame the UK for their not recognizing Thailand vaccine even though it might be Pfizer or Moderna, why would they trust anything done by the Thai government. The Thai government has failed big time in their hap hazard approach to the Covid Pandemic and they have a “Sandbox” in Phuket where they are getting over 200 new cases a day????Seems to justify Red label and non trust to me????

I got my first Pfizer yesterday at Central Floresta too. The short stocky lady with the tiny megaphone was quite funny. "Stop calling your friends to come!" she shouted as more people turned up. It was a bit of a free for all with no checking of names and times. Once inside - about 2 hours later for me - it was all pretty efficient until the waiting time after the vaccination. I have no idea what was going on but a half hour waited turned into an hour as they called out numbers in random lottery fashion - 426, 492, 527, 438, 496, 494, 502, 419 ... it didn't seem to matter. Five people shuffling papers on a desk and a poor woman trying to make people sit down who wanted to know why they couldn't pick up their appointment for next time after 30 minutes as stated on the back of every chair.

Overall, 9/10 for me. The vaccination was virtually painless and no side effects apart from a slight stiff shoulder last night and today, which was not helped by my wife punching me there to kill a bug!

The waiting time after the vaccine was actually to make sure you had no adverse reaction to the jab. Yes, the megaphone lady was funny????

The US hasn't opened the Mexican border or the  Canadian border yet, they have extended the closure for another month,

Mexican border in California and Texas is wide open it’s a disaster but FakeNews won’t tell you that. US has no idea who is entering and no vaccine no mask = no problem????

Got my first Pfizer jab today (Sept 22), and appointment for second in 3 weeks (Oct 13). Have to say it went very well, very busy but they handled  the large crowd in a very professional and efficient manner. I am now glad that I was unable to register for the Moderna some months back at thb3400 as Pfizer was free. I hope the Moderna is refunded as it should be free too. My Pfizer was done through online registration with Bangkok Hospital Phuket.
