EricTh Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Thailand should also open to Vietnam, Laos and Taiwan as these countries have consistently been low-risk. Yes.... I know what the doom-sayers and skeptics in this forum will say so save your breath or rather your typing... If new daily cases of 20 or less is considered 'lockdown', then what about those with more than 1000 new cases everyday? That's the list for June but maybe in July, there will more countries added to the list. Edited May 16, 2020 by EricTh 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's look at the facts, Thailand has possibly the largest Chinese tourists in the world from December to Mid March before the lockdown in Thailand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Thailand#Top_25_arrivals_by_nationality So do you see Thailand having the largest infected cases in the world from this list below compared to countries with low Chinese tourist numbers ?

Also the ones who could suffer from it are not his kins, AND, more victims of an epidemy can only strengthen his position as minister of public health.

Berti Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Does anyone know if this refers to China/Korea passport holders? (Which would be ridiculous, by the way, as there are still a lot of Chinese abroad. And also extremely racist towards other nationalities residing in China/Korea.) Or does it refer to people who stayed in China / Korea in the last 14 days? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy John Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Not sure what the future holds but I am assuming the Wuhan China virus will be like other diseases and be around for many years to come. Maybe like the flu. Been around for a long time as it's hard to eradicate...ditto for the Wuhan China virus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the countries in SE Asia are mentioned for controlling the spread, because no one knows how many are infected. It doesn't really matter anymore as the whole world is infected in outbreaks large and small, travel bans are useless, get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZZPA Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 9 hours ago, JCP108 said: 1) There's also the problem of no normal international flights allowed to land here, and 2) Isn't there still a stipulation that people entering the country have to observe a 14-day quarantine upon arrival? Yes, you are correct, this basically means nothing. It is just a Thai internal perception thing, nothing more. Meanwhile the rest of the world will carry on with the realisation that tourism is on the back burner for the foreseeable future. I believe next year at earliest before holidays are back on the agenda, not just for lack of flights we may find flights horribly expensive if they are forced to practice social distancing on the flights. Plus most people are recovering from the financial blow from this global crisis. Thailand is Thailand, having some global awareness or realisation of the true global situation is just not a Thai thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly same they did and in my opinion still do with the current ones. I saw the hordes of Chinese tourists coming to Chiang Mai during Chinese New Year and all them were clean of Covid19 ?. If you believe that then Grimms tales are for you. Today no new cases....better say no new cases above the carpet.

Oddly, in those countries (mainly located in western Europe), there are nearly no cases of (or mortality from) "unspecified lung diseases"... While a country like, for instance, Thailand, when I remember well, seems to have had (and have?) quite a lot of such cases... How bizarre, isn't it? This just, one, small example of a possibility to keep some Corona patients out of the satistics. Edited May 16, 2020 by bangrak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it interesting that there is already 4 pages discussion going on without knowing which countries are still on the list. I think this list will be important as soon as international travel will be allowed again. This is the only explanation why China/Korea are excluded now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tribalfusion001 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The question should be, will the CCP allow it's citizens out for a holiday and not have to 14 day quarantine when they arrive back in China? I doubt will allow them and they won't want to risk importing infections back into China. Maybe some rich Chinese will be able to leave and get back ok, but the cheap tours group from China are staying put. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
