Elkski Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 200 a day coming from all over the world would be just like 10 or 20 per plane. what's a private car? A rental? a day taxi? how do manage the 200. you get on list amd they say ok ghost is your day so then you need to make flight reservations. And if you can't get a flight you tell them no so they can contact next on the list. I cant imagine anyone figuring out the logistics of this.

Popular Post JCP108 Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 48 minutes ago, unheard said: Why not and why silly? What's so silly about the family doctor issuing a fit to fly statement? Unlike here in Thailand, the U.S. has a rich culture of rule of law and litigation (malpractice suits) against medical doctors for writing something that is not objectively true or promotes the understanding of something medical that isn't true. For example, the concept of fitness to fly in Thai terms really isn't something a doctor in the West is going to want to attest to explicitly. I have heard from family and friends in the U.S. that getting an elective Covid 19 test isn't so easy. Also, the idea that if one does get a test that it is either good for, or runs out, in 72 hours is silly in my opinion. Seems arbitrary and limiting as that's such a short window for travel even if you can get it in the first place. I worked in the medical field in the U.S. for two decades. Most of the doctors I worked with wouldn't even write return to work notes for many patients due to the malpractice issues I mentioned above. They don't want someone to come back later and say "I had a bad outcome after you wrote such and such and now you are liable." That litigation is impossible in Thailand. So the Thai government imagines doctors will freely write these silly notes for people who can afford to ask for them just like here. But, Western culture is different and I think these notes will be hard to come by. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your info is real outdated by now. In the U.S. the Covid tests are readily available for everyone at zero cost. Some municipalities even offer free rapid tests with results available just after 20 mins. Edited June 30, 2020 by unheard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit to Fly certificate is easily obtained in any country (assuming you do not have any medical condition making it dangerous to fly). It is a long standing document not specific to COVID. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 17 hours ago, brewsterbudgen said: No, but nor does it say whether the flight ban is lifted and that incoming flights can land. It doesn't specifically refer to any type of entry, and there many people stranded across the border in Laos and other neighbouring countries, who meet the conditions referred to in the 6 groups (including my wife and son!). Hopefully, things will be clarified further tomorrow. CAAT have already stated a few weeks back that there's will be no regular, scheduled, international passenger flights until at least the end of August. The government's CCSA hasn't mentioned any change to that. These additional groups being allowed in will use the same, limited amount of daily repatriation flights as well as the few, semi-regularly scheduled carriers like Qatar and Cathay Pacific. The full text of the most recent CAAT announcement is also here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Big Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Most EU Countries do allow Thais to enter without quarantine in recognition to the handling of the government to contain the spread of the virus in Thailand. Regardless of all criticism this is a job well done. The Thai government has not yet offered the same to EU residents, even with self quarantine, government quarantine, test reports or whatever. Airports in Frankfurt and Vienna do offer now quick tests for Covid 19 with results known within 4 hours. The tests cost Euro 59 (abt Bht 2000) They might wait until Thai Airways is up and flying again to take their fair share of the cake. People cannot enter Thailand even if a Covid free test issued before flight is presented. Hopefully the powers in charge come to a more workable conclusion. I know stranded Thais in Germany, who are not willing to come back if they are incarcerated in a room for 14 days 5* or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
