It was hell on Wednesday to get it shoved up the nose and into the throat. Waiting our results still.

Try going to Thailand twice in the past year. Tests before during Q and return to USA. 9 invasions tests not including personal tests. A side note. Arrived Miami today from Doha/BKK….in the MIA airport FREE, no appointment necessary, COVID vaccines for anyone any citizenship. it’s why so many go to the USA …just to get vaccinated.  Military “Leadership” begets failed war plans to win this war. Buddha (God) help Thailand   And good luck with your test result

What a <deleted>&*^ng fool! Really dude? You say that now? If you had put back in the measures you had at the beginning about 3-4 months ago the problem would be solved. There would be no quarantine and lots of tourists. Instead you're ruined everything. Why don't you just resign and let someone who's competent do the job? Unfortunately it's doubtful you'll find such a person in Thailand.

People dont resign money and power jobs regardless of qualifications (none)

You made every single word of that up. From personal experience, it is much more fun to have a western girl here. 

The truth is that most of the guys that travel to Thailand for the women would have trouble meeting any kind of woman anywhere, if it were not for the financial aspect. 

Since they cannot meet decent women in their home countries, either because of they are severely lacking in social skills or in some other departments, they lash out at their local women and ridiculously, praise the women that they have to pay to be in their company.

 

Transparently ridiculous. I have a great time with western female friends here. They have their own money, so no expectation that I have to pay for everything. Can do everything a Thai woman can do for you and more.

But of course if you are severely lacking in social skills, it's difficult to find and nurture such a relationship; much easier to buy it. But then you end up with a girl who often doesn't like you at all and is only with you for the money. I saw it all the time. Thai girls talking to their 'boyfriends' on the phone and seeing their faces as they put the phone down and then then eyeing me up in the gym or blatantly telling you that they hate him but they are only in it for the money.

These kind of guys would be taken in the west too. You have to know what to look for in a woman. If you don't you are likely to end up roasted. Likely probably quite a few on this forum can attest to that. It's not about Thai or western; but about avoiding the wolves and sharks dressed as sheep and dolphins.

 

 

No doubt youve never been married to western 60k women. Find the right thai woman and she will jump hoops over any western lady. My opinion 

A group under 50 (allowed) can now virtual spread covid?  This country’s military  is getting very baaaa

Delta variant spreading, against which the Sinovac vaccine has low efficacy, and now they ease restrictions ?

 

Its as if someone wants cases to go up to give an excuse later to cancel all the opening plans with a "valid" excuse.............

at least one professional opinion. thank you doc, absolutely spot on. not everyone in this country apparently is a slave of the tourism industry. of cause, that could go wrong for Phuket? PM just wai one time, say "sorry" 3 times, gets fine 6000 baht and continue his term

Thai people are starving except the rich and maybe you with your exchange rate buying baht.   Keep on exploiting the poor.

The proposed Phuket opening pushed back to 9 th and from 7 to 14 days and not even close to being approved 

Keep changing quarantine dates at will.  How can you plan any travel.  If you’re vaccinated and had multiple covid tests ...Thailand needs to get over the fear of covid being brought in.  Its here already.

Dress it up how you like, call it what you like..

Pattaya will be teeming with girls again swinging around dancing poles, parading around on a stage with a number on them, sitting in front of every bar, selling themselves as soon as the tourists come back.

The go-go establishments, bars etc will return as normal, will Bang Lamung or Soi 6 and the rest suddenly change... no way -Jose.

Lots of tea money and brown envelopes are given to keep the entertainment businesses open.  Sex is big business.  Dont be fooled by City Hall.  They need to make car payments too

Well i guess thai men might just stay home with their wives and give up on the mia nois.  They frequent the bars,clubs and private asian bars more than westerners

When a country reaches 100% of it's people having been double vaccinated along with zero new infections for 30 days, perhaps we can add it to a green list and allow direct tourists. 

Herd immunity world wide is around 70%.  Some vaccines only require one shot.  Get your facts right and whats with the  “We”?  You are the new chief immune doctor for Thailand?

I know it is not strictly relevant, but I live in Vieng Chan, Laos,. You know, that poor little country next to Thailand. I received my first jab (AZ) on 28th March - just rolled up to the hospital, signed the papers (in English), joined the fast track queue for over 60s. Received my first jab  and registration card - in and out in just over 1 hour - more than enough staff and great organization, Due my 2nd jab, 28th June - but it seems you are able to receive your 2nd jab after 8 weeks, so if I can gather a group of 10 people we can turn up at the hospital now and I will receive my vaccination. No charge.  I am in contact with my Thai wife daily and I get the impression that she will not get her first vaccination for a few months.

Zero cases zero deaths too i bet (according to the government)

they have delivered yesterday 1.6mln of AZ, there should be another 4.6mln to the end of June.

The rest is still sinovac

I think many people will be fooled into believing that they are getting the AZ.

Anutin just ordered 11mln of sinovac, it will be coming already in June, till August.

By the end of August thailand will have 20mln sinovac and 26mln the AZ (if there is no delays or quality problems).

 

Thai were vaccinated from March, foreigners sometimes from July (the is a waiting line for appointments)

Something is better than nothing if it means it will bring back Thailand from the brink

Require full vaccination and drop the insurance, COE, 7 day island "quarantine" and COVID tests and it would be workable.  I doubt their next great outbreak will come from vaccinated Westerners.

I can do the vaccinated part ..done. 7 days chilling on the island and a covid test . But the COE and nonsense paper work has to be dropped. Period

I suspect the 20 from USA are not tourists at all but expats who have been vaccinated and have been waiting for an easy way to return to their homes in Thailand - no real surprise is it

No mention on how long you have to stay on the island before allowed to travel to the mainland.  Id rather stay in Phuket a week then go up north than 2 weeks in isolation.  Im in my 2 nd quarantine go around. Aint pretty

And the Pattaya police are rubbing their hands in glee and salivating over how full their pockets will be.

Yea. Perfect timing  for bib since roads are near empty. With  Helmet and mask on they cant tell who farangs are always   Targeting us hoping we didnt have a thai mb license. ????

Siam Bioscience....no comment.  Guess the owner is busy with other pressing matters at/in hand

Question. Will the COE/ certificate of entry  and stack of paperwork still be required for permission to go to Phuket? I imagine the answer will change daily ????????‍♂️
