    Perhaps look here for info in one of the sub forums for Vietnam

     

     

    I don't see this info posted in that sub anywhere.

     

    Here is the latest I can find about it.  Apparently the tourism ministry is coming out against it, which is no surprise.  It sounds like the health and tourism ministries are fighting over the final requirements, and it's the PM who ultimately decides, so it's still up in the air.

    The Health Ministry's proposal on Wednesday said tourists should be self-isolated for three days and tested two to three times during this period. It suggested that unvaccinated children should be self-isolated for seven days and tested each day.

  2. You may want to check the new new requirements for Vietnam.  They just made it a whole lot more complicated because....why not.  Now I think they want 72 hours quarantine and two PCR tests.  I am not sure exactly.  All I know is there are all kinds of new rules now and after I heard that they changed the antigen test to a PCR test on arrival it turned into a deal breaker for me and I stopped listening and scratched Vietnam off my list.

    How will this unsupervised self administered test and reporting work? Heard this used to be in place previously.

     

    What is stopping someone from buying the test and if they don't want to report being positive and being locked up after they take it, just have someone else take it and report those results? Seems like more of an honor system. Good luck with that!

    I am guessing it would need to be a supervised test for the reasons you gave, but I could be wrong.  I think there are apps where they can monitor you doing the test remotely.

    It's called mitigating risk.  You do it in every day life without even thinking of it.  It's no different with trading.  You look for indicators, signals, high probability situations, and then you decide...

    I don't see how this is any different than deciding what car to buy,  what home to buy, or anything else related to finance, or even life.  It's pretty macroscopic.  Sometimes you win and and some times you lose even on high probability situations.  

    But if you think this and putting it all on black is the same thing, well, there's not much we can do to convince you otherwise.   To be honest, I used to gamble on sports.  Trading and investing requires far more discipline

    Today I shall mitigate my risk by putting it all on red, because that is what worked yesterday.

    The guy in the bar has set himself up for further confrontation,he should have been stretched out

    I think he's the bar manager of that place.  If that vlogger shows his face on that street again there are a lot of people who will want a piece of him.  Thai and farang.

    Vietnam about to open up without restrictions and Thailand keeps shooting their own feet

    They are removing some restrictions on flights but they are still not issuing tourist visas.  They have not even begun to talk about what if any restrictions they will impose when they do start issuing tourist visas.  Everyone seems to be following Thailand's lead to require travel insurance so I suspect they will do the same.
