What constitutes "Fully Vaccinated"? How many jabs and how long vaccinated before arriving in Thailand.

Is there an age limit for children? Surely they don't expect children to be fully vaccinated.

And what do they even consider as "children" then?

Is it 12? 14? 16? 17? 18?

By Thai law a minor turns adult at 21 if I recall correctly, whereas in the rest of the World it's mostly 18.

Their entire Thailand Pass program is just mud over mud, they should just really get rid of it.

*Looks at Thailand Pass*

Yawn...

She is so dead-set against me labeling her as a "farang," even in jest......... she is almost physically repulsed by the idea(!)............ that I MUST conclude there is a deep seated, inherent, negative connotation that goes with that name---that moniker---that lurks deep beneath the surface!

 

I mean, why else would she seem so truly OFFENDED by my calling her such............ even in jest......... unless she knew in her heart of hearts that it is, in fact, at its core, nothing but a derogatory term? 

This, 2000%.

None except maybe those you prefer didn't come, The Mongers

Although they in reality have been your bread & butter most of your existence even since Vietnam war times when you were just a R&R spot for horny tired soldiers

This. 9000%. The bolded part.

Thailand has built it's wealth and their ticket entry into the current century on the back of their hookers and that's physically speaking AND metaphorically speaking as well.

Getting rid of prostitution by getting rid of the mongers and there you are left with a broken Kingdom that has nothing to offer, Thailand in itself is absolutely nothing special, in fact let's face it for once and all; Thailand is a dump, that attracts nothing but criminals, (ex)cons and dodgy characters, the entire Kingdom is a complete mess without it's tourism economy and it's women spreading their legs wide opened was the only incentive they could ever possibly offer.

These days I rarely post here at all, why you may ask? Because Vietnam and Cambodia have caught up, the Thai incentive has sailed, the junta has effectively killed the golden goose.

Even if they did a 180 degrees U-turn and all of a sudden allowed us foreigners an easy path to Thai citizenship, 10 years visas without the 90 days reports like criminals and also offered the possibility of legally owning land (think small land enough to build and own our homes), it wouldn't overturn, balance or even out all the damage they have done to their reputation. I for one, would never be able to TRUST a Thai ever again, I wouldn't think of returning to this dump ever, the incentive has sailed, they have shown their true colors, they can rot for all I care.

Thailand elites have shown their disrespect, their zero gratitude attitude towards us, heck, they have zero gratitude towards their own kin, the average somchais who are the bottom of the crooked social ladder and of course, they have zero gratitude towards their hookers even though as I said above, they built their entire economy on (in?) their backs, bunch of xenophobic clowns.

Thailand was a dream, I woke up from that dream, I now see it for what it is; a nightmare.

Interesting... one of the few "good guys" in Thai politics. Winds of change?

You have all the evidence you need, your theory does not fit the facts.  People are complaining not about exchange rates, but covid rules.  I don't give a <deleted> about investors.  Off topic.  

 

Okay boss. Interesting profile picture by the way. I think we are done.

The rules for now and for 1 st of April can change every day in Thailand. That makes it difficult to plan a trip, because you neer know what will happen and it can you cost you dearly.. Other countries have clear rules which doesn't change by the day and are cheaper to visit. Thailand is expensive with the THB now.

This essentially. It's hard to disagree with.

So does that exclude foreigners ? not really open only for test and go, sandbox, and other quarantine schemes.

There's an actual article link, I suggest you read it; looks like it applies to every travelers including "farangs" and yes, Thailand Pass, sandbox, etc, only.

It's all about control. The truth is starting to be revealed and it isn't the party line.

Once all this COVID-19 nonsense is really over with, I'd be interested in seeing where money was exchanged between Chinese investors seeking to launder dirty money offshore and wealthy well connected Thais all across the Kingdom.

There's a well known saying "Never let a good crisis go to waste".

But again as this is Thailand, we'll never get to know the truth.

Do we have anyone, like actual boots on the ground that can check for us what does this means in terms of the immigration checkpoint between Koh Lipe (Thailand) and Langkawi (Malaysia)?

I have had reports of the immigration booth closed on the Thai side, on the island of Koh Lipe itself and the ferry service between Malaysia and Thailand being shut down.

Would this change anything? Can anyone chime in?

What did change, NOTHING.

Yes, you save some money by not doing a test before flying but even if your test was negative, arriving in Thailand and testing positive here and off you into quarantine.
They did not care if you were 10-20 hours before tested negative, what matters is if you test positive here.

 

Now their game is even easier. You can't argue that you tested negative from where you departed.

You nailed it. GGWP.

Money, money, money.
