Again another sign of Xenophoby! I don't think it's that way, and with dual pricing etc that they will attract more tourists.. on the contrary..
It makes me think at huge fine if you were smoking Electronic cigarette although I saw thais vaping almost every day.. Now they even sell canabis, not only CBD, but the whole canabis with THT in the food!
Before, it was a crime passible to prison to use that.. not so long ago in Thailand..!

This must have been the same proposal ...but they talk about 1000 B visa fee (?), strange that it costs 40 € in Belgium, and I think 35 € in France...(why also different prices ?)
In the past, to boost tourism, they have already done free 60 days tourist visa for a few months I remember.

I read on 7th July that due to inflation and increased prices of flights due to increased oil prices , "Thailand is reportedly considering a temporary fee exemption scheme for Visa on Arrival (VoA) and Tourist Visas throughout 2022 in order to revitalize the tourism industry after the Covid-19 pandemic."
I have to submit E-Visa here in Belgium to come end of this month and it is now 40 € for single entry (before 2019, price was 30€ by local consulate)
Anyone heard about this project from TAT ?
Is it going to happen thoses days, this month of August or has this roposal been refused ?

Get rid of the Thailand pas first, then leave the nightclubs and bars open until 4 am, last but not least make the price for wine again affordable.
Maybe after that you can think about visa extension.
Why to pût a closing time for nightclubs? I would say no closing time, freedom ! And propose 3 and 6 months visa+ extension 3 months for not more than 1900 baht ! Do not make any difference anymore for visa extension (30 days) if crossing border by land, by foot, cycle or plane !!
And stop, forbid the practice of dual pricing as a law, beginning by national parks , attractions etc !

Improve it by getting rid of it.
and please get rid of those masks outside and on motorbike, they does not protect anything and anybody and are often placed under the nose!
If you want tourism resumes as before, follow some EU countries like Denmark, UK, France, and more are returning to a normal life like before covid! It's time to wake up come on! Covid has turned to inoffensive variants, less severe and less dangerous than the common flu..!

He should have waited in his hotel for one day.
Now he will most probably be deported and banned from entering Thailand for xx months/years?
What was supposed to be a holiday has turned out to be a nightmare just because he was impatient.
impatient ..?..or he had a fake test prior to departure (or paid to have it) and he knew he was infected !

I guess time will tell who is right.
I would like to see your "plenty of sources", I just heard or read about conclusions from Australian, South-Africanand a UK research, even the OMS and Fauci said omicron is less deadly, less agresive...And never I read 70x more conagious, I heard 3x more contagious...70x makes casi non-sense ...

48 minutes ago, DLock said:They will certainly reconsider it on the 4th January...and extend the current quarantine for another month or 2, and close all the bars and stop serving alcohol in "restaurants".
Omicron will rip through Thailand worse than any previous variant.
If you can sell your bar today...sell it.
No, I don't agree. It's already known and confirmed by now than "Omicron" , although spreads about 3x faster , is much less dangerous and less able to send people in hospital in ICU or to death though...so, if clever and logic (but are they ...;- ?) , they shoud reinstall the test and go procedure quickly, also, the incubation of the omicron is muc shorter than the previous variants (sometimes just a few days), and is not worse on vaccinating people than a cold of a few days....

Why wait until October?
yes this is very late. If we are vaccinated and have a négative test, plus a good medical insurance, there is absolutely no risks for thai population, only benefits ! I don't understand what they are so affraid of for a disease that finally kills less than the suicides and road accidents occurring every day in Thailand !!

I'm still waiting for the "1$" per night rooms proposed a few weeks ago for the Phuket "sandbox" lol

A friend who is still in Thailand since over 1 year now said to me today that he will go back to Europe and told me not to come in July as I was thinking because everything is closed, people have to wear the mask even in their car, and on motorbike or face heavy fines, and Phuket, Samui, Pattaya, everywhere it's like ghost cities, nobody in the streets... Nothing to do....Unlike Europe where everything is reopening now.
Also, when I look at all the formalities, certificates, bank statetements (no printing), expensive insurance etc etc to finally obtain a visa and "sesame" to enter in Thailand, I start to think to go somewhere else either in Europe or to Domenican Republic on holiday ....

They announced 7-day quarantine for vaccinated people, and you could use the hotel facilities after the third day if tested negative,. So we said Ok, we can live with that. We jumped trough all the hoops , provided all the nessacery documents, Purchased an ASQ, and plane ticket , got our CEO and packed our bags. Two days before departure, the announced," Ohh . we changed our minds, if you cant make it in by the 6th , now you have to do 14 days quarantine, and you cant leave your room" W*T*F!!! Lucky for us we had the recourses to , in two days, change our travel plans get a new COE, and come in before the 6th. But how about all the people who could not?
Now they say October 1st no quarantine." Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me"
I booked also a flight before end of April for the 24th June, as I will be fully vaccinated...A few days later they made backwards and changed the rules, they are really "#*!!@t , untrustable, by luck, I can still cancel or change my ticket for free ....if they put 14 days back for everybody, including vaccinated, that proves they don't believe themself in the vaccine !

1 hour ago, Bkk Brian said:Chile death rates are soaring despite being in the top 3 in the world for vaccination roll out.
yes, that's what I said: uncomplete vaccination, and with a bad quality/protection Chinese vaccine....that does not protect at all after the 1st dose or only 3%.... they have to wait 2 weeks after the 2nd dose to be protected at +- 50-54%...not enough...and this is how you select resistant variant strains...
-
Look at Chile who vaccinated over 7 millions of ppl on 19 millions+ with the Chinese Coronavac from Sinovac. It does not work...A study shows that no effect , no protection after the 1st dose is granted after 4-6 weeks or merely 3% which could also be considered as the error margin...and ONLY 56,5% , 2 weeks after the 2nd dose.
Besides, a partial vaccination and partial protection fosters the emergence of resistant variants.

At some point will herd immunity occur without vaccines? I have very little faith in Thailand's vaccination program but at some point most of the population will have had Covid. I know this is not the desirable way to manage a pandemic but not sure if there is any other way out here? Then again perhaps all the different variants make it impossible without a vaccine?
variants start to be resistant to some vaccines already, and with the mutations on the spike protein, variants more and more resistant and contagious will appear.
