I'm from the U.K.
I'm desperate to come back to Thailand.
I've been double dosed (will get another dose this Autumn/Winter.
I certainly DONT live in fear.
But, the hassle of doing/paying for any kind of sandbox/A.L.Q. etc, the number of places not yet open in Thailand, the restrictions in Thailand etc, the "possibility" of quarantine rules etc. for the U.K. changing etc. etc THEY are the reasons I wont be returning to Thailand this year. I'm "hoping" early next year 2022 , it may well be possible. It looks like they've been ramping up the covid vaccinations the last week or so, great, long may it continue.
I think? personally,That Thailand wont get any real number of tourists back, until the vaccinated rate in Thailand is way way up. Yes, its great the last week or so, that the daily vaccination numbers are rising ...long may it continue....then maybe, we will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
As mentioned, with the current restrictions,numbers of Thais having been vaccinated, even getting into Thailand, then the sandbox /A.S.Q. etc the government changing their minds constantly...the chances of any sort of decent amount of tourists coming back into Thailand, is very slim.
I hope though, that by the recent upsurge in the govt. finally giving out more vaccines, the end is in sight. My opinion only of course!
