All I know for certain is that, based on most recent reports from US CDC and Johns Hopkins data,, Thailand is STILL a far safer place to be right now compared with the US or UK, based on cases per million of population. 

Untrue. Thailand and UK have almost identical populations, less new cases in UK yesterday compared to Thailand despite UK doing vastly more testing.

Thailand may have been safer a few weeks ago, not now.

that's how quarantine is supposed to work, spread it around a bit before isolating 

Not for me, I don't have Covid and had my first AZ vaccination yesterday. Zero adverse effects, not even a sore arm.

Thinking of doing the same.Can you please tell me where you got your covid test to fly?

Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. 5th floor, main building. Need an appointment.

Tested 9am results at 3pm. 3800 baht payable on receipt of 2 copies of certificate.

total over reaction by this bloke.

if he attempts to come back, he is going to need to pay for Quarantine, and also 100,000 US Dollars health insurance for the WHOLE TIME he wants to stay in Thailand.

Good luck with that.

The vaccine will be available here very shortly for anyone that wants to buy it

100k Health insurance for the whole time of your permission to stay. Likely to be 3-4 months for me. UJ steered me to an excellent provider in Thailand.

Fully aware of the quarantine rules, hopefully 7 days for me.

Equally good luck to you in getting the vaccine, in Thailand, any time soon.

Having read comments from polpott I get the feeling that once he tries to return from the U.K. he will have mega issues my wife who went to the U.K. and had a valid extension of stay as well as her re entry permit was not allowed to return to Thailand . I can visualise polpott turning up at some airport with his passport duly stamped only to be turned away I did note that there was no mention either from him of having a return flight . I wish him look but without all the requirements required and it is considerable plus what would be a 7 or 10 night quarantine stay in Bangkok I think he will be drinking a lot more pints of Stella back in the U.K. !

The restrictions on travel abroad will almost certainly be lifted before the end of May. I qualify anyway as needing to return for property issues.

Dont you have too home quarantine first for 10 days?

I know someone who went back recently she needed to do her quarantine first and she was booked for vaccine the day after her quarantine finished.

According to Gov.uk website medical appointments are excepted. I have my appointment letter and receive my vaccine in 5 hours time.

Why is it a requirement to have a fit to fly cert then arrive in Thailand with COVID, you can't teach STUPID

Now no longer a requirement for a fit to fly certificate for foreigners.

Something else to consider for anyone flying back home for jabs

 

It's highly likely that booster jabs will be needed later perhaps annually to deal with mutations, etc. 

 

It's unknown at this point whether MIXING vaccine brands will be OK or not.

 

 

I normally travel back to the UK annually for a couple of weeks and always have a full check up with my doctor. Haven't been for 2 years due to Covid. I would welcome the booster.

What immigraton changes? Proposals by a nomark who has no influence on the government which even if they were accepted would only affect wealthy foreigners (Chinese?). Nothing here for ordinary retirees.

Where did everyone get their "proof of a negative COVID-19 test (in English - no translations are accepted)" ?

 

Has to be in English

I got mine yesterday at BPH. Tested at 9am, certificate at 3pm. 2 copies in English 3800baht.

This is nothing more than fans choosing to continue to bend over for the top tier Clubs, PL, and UEFA, and not the now deposed ESL. Unfortunately, many fans probably think "they won", when that is far from the truth. More the case of agre yeing to get screwed by the lover you know than getting screwed by someone else.  This was all about others people's money and their power games and they got rightfully kicked in the teeth for not getting buy-in (if that was even possible). Dream on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier divisions....opium for the masses.

Que? Are you from Barcelona?

The problem with making bangers and mash in Thailand both for me and local restaurants is that the sausages are <deleted>. Where did you get yours and how good were they. They look good.

If you don't want the vaccine by all means don't get it.

An anti vaxxer having the vaccine would be like a Trumpette not voting for Trump. he's nailed his colours to the mast, no vaccine for him.

Me, I fly out tomorrow night and have my first vaccine appointment on Saturday lunchtime.
