I doubt any Ozzies would come anyway.  They have to go through an expensive 14 day quarantine upon returning to Australia.

No longer the case after Nov' 1

There was a news report on the BBC about Thailand re-opening to ten "safe" countries on November 1st.  They included Britain and the USA which raised an eyebrow or two!  Clearly the Thai authorities are desperate for tourist dollars at any cost.

US and UK ? purely aimed at the money factor, otherwise why no mention of Australia and New Zealand?  2 of the safest Covid countries on Planet Earth

It seems to me that the doctors in rural communities are correct in their assessment of the situation. They see the fall-out of the exodus from the cities, with patients bringing the virus with them. The doctors need vaccines and support to stop those communities being wiped out and become ghost towns and subsequent economic decline. 

Sadly support they're just not getting, there's barely any vaccines in the rural areas, some have been waiting months just for a 1st jab of SinoVac, this is why this brave chap has blown the whistle. Local Hero.

Nothing has changed save for going from 14 to 10 days.

 

Not only do I not see this enticing travelers it is still so unappealing I will continue to wait to travel abroad from and return to Thailand.

 

The government keeps holding out bc vax rates still so low and virus is contagious regardless of vaccine.

 

Mark these words: PCR test at airport and minimum hotel stay of 3 days (at doubled rates so like 6 days) is here forever!!! COE and insurance is forever!! It's all about mafia and money.

 

Nov 1 lol

 

More like money number 1

10 days for Covid denialists and 7 days for the smart majority.   

bc vax rates? is that a Canadian vaccine?

Cambodia, Laos, Bali's Northern beaches

it says " with representatives of AstraZeneca (Thailand) "so I assume they are being produced in Thailand under contract with AZ. 

The question is "Next year? if we still have covid next year God save us.

But those who have invested  in Thailand AZ should be happy.????

That tall bloke aint a Thai, he's from AZ HQ so there's something odd going on

Thats utterly ridiculous... IF you are free to walk around Samui, on what basis can they possibly deny your use of a rented or private vehicle ?

 

In that very situation I would just rent a bike and use it, they can’t really stop you.

My hotel (in Phuket) insisted that I register with them on a daily basis with the Mor Chana App (which they would scan) - on a couple of days I went out an no one was in reception to register with. By 6pm the hotel were calling me to ‘come back and register’... I just told them it wasn’t my problem they were not there, I sent a screen print of my Mor Chana QR code - they had little choice but to accept that. 

Strangely, the second hotel not once asked to see my Mor Chana App !

(in Phuket I stayed at 2 separate SHA Plus hotels, each for a week - in Rawai and Bang Tao).

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm heading there soon and looking for Hotel recommendations/prices if you can kindly assist. Welcome to pm me

To the OP.  Your girlfriend is sadly misinformed. What other pearls of wisdom has she imparted to you? AZ is the easiest option of a good vaccine here. Sinovac does not do  well with the Delta variant, and Sinopharm is sort of an unknown, If she as a Thai has a chance for AZ tell her to take it. Most Thai's seem to be getting Sinovac as the first injection and then AZ as the second. Both my wife and I are fully vaccinated with AZ and had no side effects at all. 

 

I have told her everything that you have just mentioned. The Village rumour drums beat loud amongst the Rice farmers. But as of tonight it seems she has finally seen the light and will line up for her jab next week ????

These rumours are persistent amongst some Thais.

As I explained to my staff - man received vaccine shot and is run over by a bus whilst crossing the road.

Headline in Thai paper 'man dies after receiving Covid vaccine'. ????

 

Seriously, there a been a few deaths after receiving the vaccines. A very small number in the scheme of things. That does not help though if it is someone that you love.

I have had two AZ vaccines and I am still here.

 

Yeah me too, will also happily line up for a booster when its due.

You're a long time dead

My fiance is living in Phetchabun province and as I plan to return to Thailand soon I'm wanting her to get vaccinated ASAP as I am double dosed with Astra Zeneca here in Australia.

But she tells me that many people in Thailand have died after having the Astra Zeneca shot. I'm wondering if it's just silly rumours circulating in her village or if there is some truth to it.

Here in Oz we've had about 7 deaths from Thrombosis after an AZ shot but thats after at least 7 million shots, so like 1 in 1,000,000 which is hardly worth worrying about.

Can anyone shed some light on the amount deaths in Thailand after an AZ shot?

Roll-out of Booster shots continues ????   <deleted> !!!!

Hardly any of the Central and Northern Provinces farm folk have received a 1st jab yet

Why would any humane Government allow this to happen to it's own citizens ?

Rollout of booster shots!......what a crock o <deleted>

More likely Darwin will take care of people allowing experimental substances into their bodies.

If they aren't dangerous, why are all the manufacturers indemnified against any and all problems arising?

A 20c argument to a billion dollar problem, clearly the FB Wizards have impressed you

Almost certainly you wont have any side effects with 2nd jab as your body will recognise it, whereas 1st dose your side effects were simply your immune system reacting and I believe is a sign that you probably have a strong immune system
