Things are starting to look bad for us non-married guys waiting to get back into thailand..

 

The Thai government is now no long supporting the idea of travel bubbles.. 

 

Seems like it could take a lot longer then it seemed a couple days ago with all the talk about travel bubbles..

 

I think they are too scared of a second wave right now.

 

What do you guys think would be realistic to get back into Thailand again from Europe?

    The Thai government is not interested in tourism, whether the people are starving or unemployed, how strong or weak the baht is. As long as the individuals in the government have their income str

What year are you referring too?

Given that the OP is outside of Thailand, his getting married wouldn't help. Both he and his new wife would be in the same position - two foreigners with no basis to enter Thailand.

Totally agree. If I knew this was going to happen I would have 'planned' to have been outside and then got 'stuck' outside, and had a proper break from all the nonsense in this country.

I left the failed state called Thailand yesterday. Have enough of this madhouse. There are outbound flights. Suvarnabhumi looked like the apocalypse though.

Can see no European (apart from the micro state Malta) countries more reliant on tourism than Thailand.

Head  of  village turned  up at my house today out in the country,  with couple of  helpers and some  officials, no mask and no teeth in his  case,  just checking the  land as we  submitted our  tax  paper  thing a while  back.

While Thailand may not be fully open for awhile...try Vietnam or even Cambodia to have access to your heart's desire...????

No,

 

Europe and the USA are aware of the impact and the need to get the world economy going again which is also a balancing act to protect the health of the population.

 

Also these countries have gone into massive debt funding programmes  such as mortgage holidays,  reduced credit card interest, amnesties on people exceeding overdraft limits, furloughing staff etc 

 

This is because they care about their citizens and invest in them.

 

That doesn't happen in THAILAND,  Laos and others in the region who do not give a damn about their people or the hardships they are suffering.

 

Your post is shallow and ill thought out as well as inaccurate.

I hear all this BS on this site of how great things are in Thailand and they are so happy they aren't stuck in the west. Curfews, beach closures, booze bans everything closed. I'm sure glad I got the fark out in time, friends stuck there assure me it was- is no place to be, and that I made the right decision going home to where things ARE great!

our government has takin great care of its people, monthly cheques, no one is starving lined up for food etc.

2021 for what exactly?

@reallyaffiliated

 

The July 1 opening is only for a few countries. Out of these few countries, only selected people like professors, work permit holders will be allowed in.

 

Try again in Aug 1 whether they will allow retirees and people married to Thai from selected countries.

 

Try again in Sep 1 whether they will allow tourists from travel bubble.

Not sure where your head is buried but, no curfew, beaches open, can buy a beer at a restaurant (or 7/11 if you prefer), 95% of all business can open, pretty much back to normal other sitting in a bar all day.

Hell no, beautiful Canada, things barely even blinked here, few industries were hit hard, such as service, other than that, most never stopped working, all normal, sunny out, clean air I can breathe, great fishing , overnight camping allowed. Interprovincial travel. Got another government cheque yesterday, in lieu of my week off. Cold beer always available. Life's good.
