ThailandRyan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Unless someone has a crystal ball or is connected at the hip to the Government then the answer is not for the foreseeable future. THAI Airways just changed there re-opening of flights to August, that should be an indicator that the inbound flights are probably getting pushed farther down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) The "when" will likely depend on your nationality/permanent stay. They might open per country in "bubbles". And don't say Italy, UK, Russia, USA, Sweden .... And even for the "green" countries I would not expect unlimited tourist travel before August.

anon7854 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I would say late September / October if everything goes well and there isn't a phase 2 of covid coming. I am pretty sure they will allow entry "per country" but I would not have any hopes for US and other top 20 infected countries this year and well after that (unless a proper cure is found) Edited June 9, 2020 by anon7854 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbyJFlash Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I agree that high risk countries will very likely not be allowed to enter Thailand for some time. Saying that , I read last week that a Phuket tourism official had invited a U.K. official to come and inspect Phuket’s new corona measures to see if they are fit for travellers... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickj88 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I booked our flights back in Jan to fly out to LOS on July 8th. Etihad emailed today to say they have moved our flights but same day just 6 hours earlier. I do not know if we wll be allowed to fly ( well the mrs will as shes Thai) . I messaged the UK Thai embassy today and will wait for their response. I have a feeling it will be a yes you can come but have to isolate in the Bkk hotel of their choice for 14 days and having to pay through the nose for the pleasure. If so then our flights will be getting moved to next year as only going for 18 days, so pointless isolating then only having 3 days in Isaan with family. If I get any positive news will post here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As everyone else I am in the dark regarding the matter but whatever the reply is, please make sure to read the stories of/about the Thai Nationals' spouses forced to fly back to the country of provenance while their family are allowed in the Kingdom. I have read there was some hope a week ago regarding that particular situation but not confident it has positively evolved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will not help mik88 as neither he nor wive are residing in Thailand they are only visiting. As to when it will open I think the UK will be on the no fly list also. You will probably see them open the skies for Asian countries first to keep it small. After that I would think that Australia might be newt. No matter what it is going to be a slow deliberate opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) I agree, all the top infected countries will not make it in 2020 . If there is much spike in the 2nd wave from the first batch of countries, and I predict there will be, they will then go for #2 lockdown and wait for a vaccine and require certificates for tourists. But is a vaccine that works 100% just a dream. But this is just the flu I dont know why my life has been so interrupted. fools! all fools I say Edited June 10, 2020 by Elkski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordieabroad Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Why don't you contact the airline you normally use?, they will have the information as soon as it's available. Normally on this site they can't even agree what day it is 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economies aren't going to survive that long. As for "cures" fat chance of that. The flu occurs every year and there is no "cure". We just learn to live with it. September/October is likely for all countries unless a new lockdown occurs then, as some are predicting. Although if that happens it's anyone's guess as to what the global economy will look like then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sujo Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Malaysia only just allowed interstate travel from today. This is to last until 31 august so no in or out until at least then. So looking like september at earliest for malaysia. I expect thailand to be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelphi Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 With all of the empty hotels and airplanes I just don't understand why the Thai Government have not by now seriously ramped up their capacity to allow people to come to Thailand and do two weeks quarantine at their own expense in a suitable hotel. Clearly not many tourists would opt for this but many others with long term visas would. It would create income for the hotels and airlines. It would also allow those non Thais who want to come back to Thailand and spend foreign currency to do so without any possible risk in terms of the virus. This would be a clear win win. I can't make up my mind if the Thai Governments position is one of incompetence or xenophobia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US opened up too early because masks are Communism, or Fascist Science, I need to get my hair done, or whatever other bat<deleted> going on over there. In today's paper 19 States are seeing cases spike from everybody having a great time on Memorial Day. Woo Hoo! Hoist your beers in the air! Freedom!

Don't forget the mandatory 14 days hotel quarantine which you have to pay yourself. Self isolation is NOT allowed. This might change in the future depending on where you come from.
