UK still had massive numbers of hospitalisation after they immediately locked down London etc., Thats 4 months ago bars still not open nor restaurants, no non essential shops, no hairdressers etc., No real family mixing too, This virulent & more serious virus variant happening as millions move around at this holiday time is quite frightening. Be careful, wear masks in busy places especially indoors...meet outdoors. Avoid crowded buses. Younger people will be asymptomatic but could spread to elders who may be most vulnerable to lung infections. Meet outside.
Lol.
Look at you cracking jokes.

Yes of course it worked last year. Day after day after day of Zero cases.
The reason why, not a single test was being done.
Oh look at us, the best in the world, we have no covid cases, we keep dirty farang out.
lol. Pathetic
What a joke. Been thousands and thousands of cases in Thailand from Day 1.

They could check your passport for the entry date when booking into Bangkok.
Yes i would think so.
However with the requirements as stated you would only need to spend 7 days in the sandbox area before going to other parts of the country.
So after 7 days / nights in Pattaya you could then go to Bangkok

From what ive read its somewhat similar all throughout much of the world..
Australia being the worst of course,
locking down a capital city the size of Melbourne for the sake of 2 people infected. <deleted>?
AND wont even let citizens leave the country.
complete madness.
But wait see, once a few countries start opening up fully,
even the staunch ones like Australia wont want to be left behind at the bite of the tourism apple.
I know im going against the grain here,
but im predicting some positive leaps and bounds in the next 3 months if this thing is containd more.
If not, people are gonna really revolt in certain places and politicians will be running scared when groups have had enough and start going after individual decision makers personally.
There's only so long you can completely trample on peoples freedoms and liberties.
Got that right mate.
Australia has completely lost its mind...

Or Australia.
Melbourne was locked down for close to 4 months last year.
And this year so far, Perth was locked down for 5 days because of 1 single case, Brisbane for 1 case, and all of Victoria for 5 days because of 2 or 3 cases with all cases linked to know sources.
The world has gone totally mad!

That's still 7 months away.
Just relax. Even 3rd world Thailand should have some vaccination program in place by then

CDC DOES NOT SAY THIS.
You have misrepresented the CDC position. Thailand position is consistent with the rest of the world. You criticize Thailand for being smart and responsible.
I went to CDC website and looked at what they say, and what you post is false information.
CDC still has mandatory quarantine for foreign travel arrivals and there are still prohibited countries.
CDC statement is completely different and does not apply to traveler quarantine.
Fully vaccinated persons who meet criteria will no longer be required to quarantine following an exposure to someone with COVID-19. At this time, vaccinated persons should continue to follow current guidance to protect themselves and others, including wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet away from others, avoiding crowds, avoiding poorly ventilated spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often, following CDC travel guidance, and following any applicable workplace or school guidance, including guidance related to personal protective equipment use or SARS-CoV-2 testing. However, vaccinated persons with an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 are not required to quarantine if they meet all of the following criteria†:
- Are fully vaccinated (i.e., ≥2 weeks following receipt of the second dose in a 2-dose series, or ≥2 weeks following receipt of one dose of a single-dose vaccine)
- Are within 3 months following receipt of the last dose in the series
- Have remained asymptomatic since the current COVID-19 exposure
Persons who do not meet all 3 of the above criteria should continue to follow current quarantine guidance after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
Ok, so now that I have shown that you have posted false information, what is your response?
LOL.
Is that what you call an oxymoron.
No such thing as Thais being smart or responsible.

Suttinee Yuvejwattana, Bloomberg News
File photo for reference only
(Bloomberg) -- Thailand may scrap mandatory quarantine for foreign visitors vaccinated against Covid-19 as it may help the nation revive its tourism industry, according to Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha.
Foreigners visiting Thailand may be allowed to skip the two-week isolation if they furnish vaccination certificates but authorities will continue to track them, Prayuth said after a cabinet meeting in Bangkok Tuesday. The government will carefully consider all aspects of such a move before implementing them, the prime minister said.
The Southeast Asian nation has already cleared vaccines made by Sinovac Biotech Ltd. and AstraZeneca Plc for emergency local use and ordered a total of 63 million doses from the two producers. The country is set to receive the first batch of 2 million doses of Sinovac vaccine on Wednesday that will allow it start a national inoculation program as early as next week.

Hell of a lot of mulling and talking but very little action.
if the country and its leaders cant do a risk based analysis to allow vaccinated tourists into the country after a large portion of the thai population is vaccinated, well they might as well just build a giant wall around the Kingdom and give up.

File photo: Travel Daily (for reference only)
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) sees the implementation of so-called vaccine passports and ‘area quarantine’ as a fundamental part of Thailand properly re-opening its borders to foreign tourists.
Speaking to Bangkok Biz News, Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya, TAT deputy governor of marketing for Asia and the South Pacific said there is already demand from tourists in Korea and India wanting to visit Thailand
Mr Chattan said that in Korea where it is currently minus 6c, tourists can't wait to visit the beaches in Thailand. He also mentioned the recent arrival of Korean tourists who are the first to enter the ‘golf quarantine’.
TAT's offices in Mumbai and New Delhi reported groups of Indian tourists eager to book their weddings in Thailand, with the country having developed a niche as the overseas wedding destination of choice for high-spending Indian couples. The average cost of an Indian wedding in Thailand is 10 million baht and it was big business for resorts in Bangkok, Pattaya and Hua Hin pre-pandemic.
Mr Chattan said the issue of vaccinations is an important factor in opening up Thailand again to tourists. He said that groups of Indians coming to Thailand to attend a wedding could be quarantined at a hotel in the so-called ‘area quarantine’, similar to those who are currently quarantining at the luxury Sri Panwa resort in Phuket.
Meanwhile, Siripakorn Cheawsamoot, TAT deputy governor for Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Americas said that a policy on opening the country to foreign tourists should be in place by June with the aim of allowing foreigners to visit by the fourth quarter of this year.
Mr Siripakorn cited the IATA Travel Pass or so called ‘vaccine passport’ as a way for Thailand to open up to tourists who have been vaccinated against the virus.
He said that 42 airlines including Thai Airways, Smile, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, British Airways and Emirates had agreed to the IATA Travel Pass initiative.

Area Quarantine. That just means a bigger room. maybe access to a swimming pool and of course a massively inflated price on the "standard Quarantine".
Are these clowns for real.
Play all the games you want, put all the positive spin on Quarantine you want.
Simple fact of the matter is you are not going to attract tourists back that way.
If you cant come up with a serious risk based analysis to allow vaccinated people back when a large majority of Thais are vaccinated also, well you might as well not even bother.

Thailand to warmly welcome inoculated travellers
By Suchat Sritama
Vaccinated travellers will be welcomed in Thailand
Foreigners who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 will be welcomed with open arms by Thailand through a new campaign set to launch in 3Q2021.
Titled Welcome Back to Thailand Again, the campaign is the country’s bid to reclaim lost international arrivals throughout the pandemic. According to Chamnan Srisawat, president of Tourism Council of Thailand, Thai travel operators have started talks with agencies in potential markets, such as China, to restart destination marketing and prepare for future trips.
More than one billion people across the world are expected to be vaccinated by the end of June 2021, which could bring about a return in travel demand.
Full story: https://www.ttgasia.com/2021/01/26/thailand-to-warmly-welcome-inoculated-travellers/
-- © Copyright TTG ASIA 2021-01-28Step in the right direction, however surely this can not start until a large amount of Thai people are vaccinated.

Australia is saying the same thing. Vaccination won't exempt you from quarantine.
Not just a Thai thing.
lets see how long that lasts when the Aust Government is hammered by the tourism industry for more ongoing financial support

The vaccinations are not 100%
If they are 90% or 95%......that means potentially 10 people in 100 or 5 people in 100 are coming in with Covid.
And that will spread to all Thais as Thailand has no herd immunity and is very susceptible.
So of course 14 days quarantine must remain.
Until Thai's are vaccinated (due to commence May or June 2021) and all the at risk are done (by say October 2021) then ASQ and quarantine must remain for all people entering Thailand.
Unfortunately your calculations are way off.
Your assumption of 10 people having covid if the vaccine is 90% effective is wrong.
This assumption is only valid if 100% of the world population has Covid.
Currently 1.06% of the population has or has had Covid WITHOUT a vaccine.
So based on that your assumption of 5 people possibly entering Thailand with covid for every 100 people, well you need to add a few more zero's to the 100
The true number is actually closer to 5 people in every 100,000 who enter Thailand could potentially have Covid.

Thailand’s ‘Hi-So’ elite blamed for new Covid-19 cases forcing closure of nightspots
in Thailand News
Posted
I hardly think USA is best at anything to be honest.
As Australian government has just advised anyone under the age of 50 shouldn't take the AZ vaccine it means I will now get the Pfizer jab, which to be honest im happy about.
Im in the current group being vaccinated in Australia however with this change, and waiting on supply from overseas it might mean i dont get my jab for another month or 6 weeks.
However that doenst bother me, as I have nowhere to go for the next 6 months.
Thailand certainly not going to be opening anytime soon . The plan is October no quarantine to many areas of Thailand if you have had the jab.
Not sure that will be the case with the current situation now.
