Using terms  like "cool" or  really  cold"  tells  you  NOTHING,  how  about a  thermometer and an actual READING  off  that?

Remember that drowning rivals motorcycle accidents as the leading cause of child death in Thailand.

I would very much like what happened to be a catalyst for enhanced pool safety and other safety issues in Thailand and today

It's all about risk vs benefit, at the end of the day, you either get what you paid for, or you get nothing, the nothing, being peace of mind that your covered, even if you haven't made a claim, the later being my preferred. 

AT  least with nothing you KNOW exactly where you  stand

Thailand  talking  balllocks  as usual , the figures  state as  of  below  , so if each person paid just 11.78 baht extra  on arrival that bill  would be COVERED...............but  NO, they now  tack  on "yet another"  500baht  for  all  incoming passengers. Greed  nothing else.

  Last year discussed  adding 300baht on entry   BUT  only 10% would  actually  go to hospitals!! So where does the other 90% go?????

All could be very easily remedied for a minimal fee instead of the ridiculous 100-250k with age premiums.

 Thailand as a whole welcomed 38 million -- more than double the figure for 2010. The Public Health Ministry said unpaid bills at hospitals across the nation came to 448 million baht in a year through September 2019.

Well matter apparently can't be destroyed nor created so some of those atoms will be hanging around. ????

scientists  created  matter from light I believe quite recently

https://www.universetoday.com/152181/matter-from-light-physicists-create-matter-and-antimatter-by-colliding-just-photons/

Albert Einstein's famous E=mc2 equation says that if you smash two sufficiently energetic photons, or light particles, into each other, you should be able to create matter in the form of an electron and its antimatter opposite, a positron.

Yes, I have been in a couple.

Most of those folks are not making silly posts in English that they should know better than,  I think.????

id  be  impressed  if any of them  could post in English,  silly  or  not, they believe in a load of  utter  tripe,  a  couple down the road from me recently split  up for 3  months as he and she believed theyd  had a lot  of  bad  luck and he needed to go to the temple  on his  own for 3  months to "fix"  this. 

They  tend  about 40  rai of  land, this  left just his  Wife who recently had a coconut  fall  on and break her  shoulder ( age about 50), she  then had to get the daughter in a  safe  govt  job to quit to  help   her on the land for these 3  months so  losing their  safe income source as fruit and veg yields  little  profit these  days. BUT somehow the temple is  gonna  fix  all  that..............

A lot of people are projecting their own flawed impressions based on flawed assumptions of what others do. 

 

Might be fine for a minority of reasonably well  off  Thais  in BKK but out in the boonies they sit em in front of a screen  all day  long, and they aint looking at Planets

You cannot travel freely within the EU without testing.

 

Im really not sure where you get your info from but its really not correct

Look apparently we cant discuss the EU here  anymore stop comparing pomegranites to custard  apples although  youd  better tell the french and swedes  that https://se.ambafrance.org/COVID-19-Can-I-enter-France#If-you-are-vaccinated  

Unvaccinated kids over 12  pcr test

Travel documents if you are vaccinated

• proof of vaccination. It will only be valid if it proves that you are fully vaccinated, i.e.:
  • Seven days after the second shot for two-shot vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca (Vaxevria and Covishield));
  • Four weeks after the shot for one-shot vaccines (Johnson & Johnson);
  • Seven days after the shot for vaccines administered to people who have already had COVID-19 (only one dose is necessary).
• a sworn declaration, that can be downloaded on the Interior Ministry’s website stating that
  • you have no symptoms of COVID-19 infection;
  • to your knowledge, you have not been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to your journey

No, you compared entry to EU with entry to Thailand which is comparing apples to oranges.

We're not discussing entry to EU, we're speak about 'teeny tiny' Thailand.

 

Yes and? I mean a few  minutes  ago you implied nowhere did vaccination entry only, so seems  your  happy  to discuss the EU requirement, which Thailand should  copy to get its visitor  numbers  right  up

The first Asian country to do this is  going to get the full benefit leaving others in their wake

Pipe dream.

But its NOT for EU  members, the EU being WAY  bigger than teeny  tiny  Thailand, Thailand says it want visitors   so thats the way forward EU members  will  holiday easily in the EU and avoid  Thailand

What's your point?

allow  in  all  vaccinated people with no tests THEN they  will  come, no  one likes  hassles  when travelling and with all the airport security since 9-11 flying is a PIA body scanners  shoes off, no  liquids  pcr  test rectal  probe what next.

That doesn't work, really its getting tiresome but please do some basic research and what the vaccine does.

 

Some folks have had 2 jabs, some in Israel have had 4, whats fully vaccinated even mean?

 

How long does one shot offer you protection?

 

At what point do you need the 3rd booster?

 

No one can answer this, because we were told the vaccines keep you out of hospital not stop you from getting it or passing it on.

 

However the countries that now have the highest vaccination rates also now have the highest hospitlization rates! Explain that one!?

 

 

 

 

Un vaccinated  kids giving it to their  parents who then carry on just fine as theyve been vaccinated, the unvaccinated parents end up  in hospital, plenty of you tube bumf  on that from credible doctors

It's not practical is it......

surely  nothing more practical than my safety surely, the testing thing is a waste  of  time, just vaccinated is  enough, tourists vaccinated  mor e likely to  catch it off  Thais and as they are  vaccinated highly  likely to not get seriosuly  ill. and if the govt had their finger out form the start when they had limited infection they could  have done everyone by now, Thais  more  likely to catch it form other Thais  than  a tourist, most Thais  have no interaction with tourists
