  1. https://www.huahintoday.com/hua-hin-news/proposal-to-waive-visa-fees-for-foreign-tourists-to-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.

  2. 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..!

    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 !! 

  6. 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.
