Two different situations...

Thailand chooses not to impose that risk on it's population, and no I do not think, nor will the country be locked down FOREVER, 

The risk thats way  less than influx  of myanmer and other  border countries which have  lillte to no vaccination.

If they ARE serious, it  should be vaccine only no tests free  insurance, then they WILL  come anf before anyoe bleats  about what if they end up  in hospital remember they are  already  slapping a 500  baht fee on all tickets  anyway, why not just make it 1000 which would easily cover any hospitalisation

The topic is reopening for tourism.....

As said, vaccinations are going on at a fair click, but due to the late start interim measures are here to get tourism at least 'warmed up'.... hopefully for better times. 

and including the requirements of a  test before and on arrival, which tourists may well  noit  want, I  know  many who do  not want anythign rammed up their  nose

Burma border is a bit of a distraction from  the topic

not really as once any strain gets in its IN no way they can control it especially thru  illegal workers, already vaccinated  people are a  much  lower  risk of spreading https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y

If they realy wanted tourists  back  offer FREE  insurance and FREE  tests

I hope not.... but Sky just reported it as more infectious. 

If  Thailand was  serious everyone would  have been vaccinated, if  Thailand was  serious there would  be  no  border  incursions from myanmar  etc bet you anything you can still easily  sneak across the border , if  not payment  guarnatees  it.......Burma  workers many still unregistered, kid works for me says they can get in and out ok by paying even  now

It doesn't even make sense, it is the responsibility of the government to protect it people.  All of them. And factor in a new strain getting into the country.... rumours of a D+ now.

D+  of  no concern according to bbc news

Well we know vaccinated people can get infected so perhaps not a good idea... less critical if coming from a country with low infection numbers perhaps. 

Thats the  unvaccinated  peoples problem, its ridiculous

Yes, if double vaccinated, a negative test just before the flight and a test on arrival (with isolation until a negative result). Okay the latter is perhaps a form of quarantine.....

how  about not tests  at  all just vaccinated

Yawn.

 

I have a crappy old 2015 Ranger, it is white and soot builds up on the tailgate if not washed regularly.

 

It is 100% as delivered from the factory.... but the soot on tailgate makes me a boy racer with a tuned engine.... according to you.

 

ok ok youre  right none of those  soot  covere d pick ups  have been tuned and I never see any covered  in soot  raoaring past me with gold  extra  wide  wheels and so  much smoke you cant see the raod, guess  my eyesite  is going but at least not my common sense

you need a ;icence but to be honest its  useless, you will  learn nothing from learning here and  by  following local styles learn even less, their driving is abysmal

Handing over humanitarian aid at a border post would undoubtedly go through the hands of the Myanmar military. Just how exactly would it get into the hands of the people that need it most, which are the ones being murdered, bombed, shot, their villages burned, and oppressed by the same military?

Thats  after its  gone thru the thai sticky fingers (PLURAL)  first, dont trust any of them

If you read the article you would not have to guess.

 

The tailgate aint black from diesel soot.

 

Dont  have to the fact its  black is they think its  looks  good  +  bonus  not so easy to see the soot= this  car  has been tuned to deliver max  power with min emission, in other words go  faster= accident and  trail of  black cancerous  soot  belching out

I wonder what the chances are of them taking the UK of the list....due to the problems they are having there with growing covid cases and a new more contagious variant?

The "new" type isnt  going to be an issue  according to 2  reports Ive read  both from the BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-57564560

 Even with 166 examples of Delta plus shared on GISAID, a global open sharing database, "we don't have much reason to believe this is any more dangerous than the original Delta," according to Dr Jeremy Kamil, a virologist at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport.

When I pointed this out, somebody here argued it's because UK and USA have done a large number of tests but other countries didn't. lol

 

Most of the countries from the list are from the richer countries with higher number of tourists to Thailand.

 

Theyre  testing all  kids  twice a  week at  schools for your  information as I  know someone whose  doing th e testing

A ‘friend’ my Wife (who’s well connected to information sources) has sent her the above info... and informs that there will be 47 eligible countries.

 

 

Thus: Vaccinated arrivals must have / do...

 

1) Pre-flight PCR test

2) Arrival PCR test

3) 1 Night Quarantine in a hotel (at least until PCR test result is issued)

 

This latest release of information still leaves questions: 

- At which stage is the Arrival PCR test taken (at the Airport or Hotel)  ??

- Must the Quarantine hotel be an SHA+ hotel /  ASQ hotel ?

 

Biggest question of all - is the Certificate of entry still a requirement... 

 

even  bigger  question whats the betting that pcr  test in Thailand gets  delayed  being deliverd to you so the hotel can screw  extra  nights  out of its  "guests"
