What a bunch of delusional people that want to decide for alot of good thai´s that never get listened to what they want...  Thailand is nowhere close to being a world class destination with all their open severs, dual pricing, corrupt taxi system and in way too many places dirty streets...
I wish Thailand actually could be a world class destination that offered security and where tourists could feel totally safe, but there are way too many things that need taken care of before they even get close to that.

With the prices of airline tickets and just overall prices in europe skyrocketing, then Thailand has big time missed out on european tourists by opening up so late.. Most people simply do not have the spending power that they had 6 months ago, so it ended up as so many said, that Thailand would be the big looser of the countries around that region with the holding back strategy for so long...

Why the surprised??  This is nothing out of the ordinary and it would be much more surprising if they actually the unexpected ????

When you got a population that has been brainwashed for so long, then it takes years, heck even decades to evelve into indivudual thinking and having the ability to question... Alot of thai people are nowhere close to that and do excactly what they are told by media/corrupt govenrment officials so these masks will most likely stay on their faces for a long long time...

No wonder.. If anybody really expected those ruling to slack on their fear mongering of the thai people, then forget it...  

Thailand pass in its new form could well work if it was possible to apply for pass 6-8 months or more in advance.. Only having option to apply a few weeks prior to your travel is simply not good enough as it makes it almost impossible to plan and purchase tickets at a much lower price.. You could of course gamble and purchase those tickets months in advance, but if you dont get approved for Thailand pass the first time then you often dont have time to apply again.. Very badly designed as it could work fine if changed and was able to apply in plenty of time.

Sent my application for thailand pass 12 days ago and have not recieved diddeli back from them.. The only thing I got back in my mail the next day after applying was that fraud mail which obviously everybody or almost everybody has gotten...  It is seriously questionable how this procedure that they ask of people to fill in to enter is going..  But hey, what do they expect when their entire system is based on jpeg application... It could just aswell have been drawn up by some 4 year old with crayons...

Unless you really really have to go to Thailand for family or similar, then it is just much better to avoid it until they remove this all togeather far out nonsense of tripple tests, booked nights, prepaid this and that, and all that with a risk of getting rejection for something that is totally out of your hands, or testing positive between day 1-5 and not having any symptoms what so ever, but still having to face all kind of hassle.

More scaremongering, more trying to keep peope on a leash and more lagging behind..  The bus, train and taxi already left and those people in charge missed them all while a huge part of the world has moved on...  I seriously pity the people that have lost every bit of their livelyhood due to some crazy decisions of individuals controlling the country, and they dont face a single wrongdoing anywhere from anyone for that..

Never forget your blinker fluid!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA --- This takes the cake, even the valentines cake for most dumb article in, well not so many days, as each day somebody up in high places there tries to do each other out with some statement that could be made to question who actually runs the show there ????

How daft can one be, comparing to US which is a country with lots of states that each got their different way of doing things...  Compare instead with countries that are opening up again and see how far behind those things are ????

There is , follow Richard Barrow FB he’s just published the new rules for Samui and other islands. You can go through Bangkok but only with the two flights on one ticket.

So that means you can not order the ticket yourself online and when you land go and collect your luggage and check straight back in??
Is there even any option online to book connecting tickets with 2 airlines for users??

Dr. Supakit Sirilak, director-general of the department, said the Omicron variant mostly stayed in the upper respiratory tract and thus spread 70 times faster than the Delta variant. However, the Omicron variant did not harm lungs like the Delta variant.

That and numbers showing that that what we called the flu actually has more leathality then this variant which also runs off after 3-5 days which is way faster then the flu, so locking everything down is questionable from alot of doctors, but hey , can have as many opinions as there are people and it wont change a thing with those incharge there.
