Anybody have recent experience of flying to Phuket from Bangkok or Chiang Mai? I live in Chiang Mai, lived in Thailand 20+ years, speak Thai, fully vaccinated, have had booster (3 jabs) do I still need to show a recent PCR test to board? Are you then tested in Phuket airport on arrival? Phuket being the hub of scams I'm still worried that they will conveniently find Expats +ve to boost hospital revenues...

Thailand Named #1 Destination in Asia for Global Retirees

The NNT should change their name to PNT (Propaganda News Thailand).. -
LomSak... regarding your post above, what is the location in Chiang Mai? Cheers...

Nothing will ever change in Thailand with the dinosaurs at the helm unless it directly effects the Elite. Peons are collateral damage when travelling by road, rail or bus. The Thai Elite 1% travel by air and probably don't give a second thought about the daily carnage and anybody else's welfare.... Thainess...

Tourism Ministry Launches ‘Thailand Trusted Destination’ Campaign
Forza2002 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
TAT press releases are always good for a laugh. One thing you are guaranteed with the Ministry of Tourism announcements, is a catchy slogan & unrealistic targets. -
In the past week the Govt is now recommending that people get a booster following 3 months after their 2nd vaccine injection. Many people, myself included got the Sino/AZ combo back in August at McCormick Hospital so I guess we qualify for the booster. Anybody heard of any places that are providing the booster?

TAT confident Thai tourism unfazed by Omicron variant
Forza2002 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The TAT is so screwed up. The fact that there is both a Governor and a Minister for Tourism says it all... Fortunately TAT has a magic crystal ball and a calculator so we can all get a good laugh daily with all their predictions.... -
New experience with Wise
Forza2002 replied to poppysdad's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Wise... long delays this morning, been showing arrive 8 hours now saying tomorrow. Been using them for years and normally get within minutes, sometimes seconds. Is it because it's Monday morning? I'm sure that I've used Wise on Mon before but not experienced delays like this. -
Thailand has had its day, its other Asian neighbors offer better value. The Bell Curve will play out now. Govt were in dreamland if they thought the 39M Tourists from 2019 were exponential. They should cancel the extra terminal/runway at swampy as it wont be needed... Would be great to see tourism go back to ~5M when I came for the first time in the late 80's. Thais were happy, no rip-off taxi drivers, jet ski operators etc..., bring back the good old days...

MOPH: Drinking alcohol increases risk of contracting COVID
Forza2002 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A journalist should ask the MOPH doctor why it's okay to drink alcohol in certain busy areas of Bangkok such as Khao San Road, but not okay to drink in an open air bar in Pattaya. Does BKK serve Covid Free alcohol... -
Thailand Plans to Open Borders to 400,000 Foreign Laborers Next Month
Forza2002 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If Thai Factory/Construction owners paid Thais a fair wage then it wouldn't be necessary to hire all the Cambodian/Laos/Myanmar workers. Naturally that will never happen as owners want to maximize their profits by exploiting a cheaper labour force. -
Public health minister to quickly mend Covid situation in Chiang Mai
Forza2002 replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Why is Anutin just acting now? Probably due to a number of papers running stories about the shortage of beds in the hospitals to treat CV19 patients.. Since the 1st Oct. there have been 7,370 confirmed CV19 cases in Chiang Mai. -
7,000 international arrivals due at Suvarnabhumi on Monday
Forza2002 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No doubt Anutin won't miss out on the chance of some publicity and will be at the airport on Monday to greet the 1st few groups of arrivals. Will he be handing out masks and hand gel to all the dirty Farang... ???? -
