BANGKOK:-- The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) today (July 2) issued the “Notification on Conditions for Aircraft Permission to Enter Thailand (No.2)”, reiterating that its ban on international commercial aircraft remains in place, reports the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).

 

Although, Thailand allows entry to several groups of foreigners from July 1, the eligible travellers must seek advance certificate of entry from local Thai embassies or consulates abroad as well as the relevant necessary documents as required under the order of the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), the TAT said in an announcement today.

just kill tourism, done; thai advanced thinking

whatever u want the answers i no

I wonder how long it will be before the Thais realise why we all went somewhere else?

Looks like August is definitely off then, better get on to the Airline and see if it's another set of future travel vouchers, or whatever. ???? ????

 

Anyone think it will be viable in ~December, for our next scheduled trip? ????

i dont think the 'several groups' refereed to includes tourists. thailand is not open for tourists yet. some countries are welcoming tourists, others aren't. the thai government dont feel the country is able to accept tourists at the moment.

1. I am in Cebu, the Philippines, with yet another rescheduled flight for next week, the 7th of July, following a string of cancelations.

2. The Thai Consulate in Cebu is closed until further notice,

3. At the airline office in Cebu, I was strongly advised NOT to break the journey in Manila because of: a.) strict lockdown measures in several areas of the city making access and movement extremely difficult, and b.) flights originating from Manila are severely limited and the screening procedures of passengers is overloaded. 

4. The Embassy in Manila offers only Tuesdays and Thursdays for appointments, making this new requirement impossible to meet.

....

Am I completely off the mark by suspecting that there is a sinister element to the creation of ever changing rules? Those with hatred for us will be revelling in this, at every level of government. 

This whole thing is an absolute joke anyone with sense would give Thailand a miss for the rest of the year its not worth all the agro and additional cost .Tourism in the Kingdom is going to die a death with these crazy regulations

“Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.”

I guess you guys miss the point, the people being allowed in are not tourist, you guys need to get over yourselves. O, forgot it is really only about finding something to complain about.

They might want keep the consulates and consular sections of embassies informed; in many cases the representation is either closed or not entitled to issue visas, letters etc. 

In all fairness, what can a diplomat confirm in writing in relation to a pandemic? Legalizing a German doctor's signature or a Greek health facility's confirmation?

As Thailand has never signed the Apostille Treaty of The Hague I seriously wonder, what this additional bureaucratic hurdle is all about this time ???? Next will be a legalization of an ambassadorial signature by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Welcome to Thailand!

Your missing the point . Yea there are people dying in the streets. 
there are also people dying of

cancer. 
If they do nothing , there will be more people dying , of COVID too.

they could do what the States are doing and ignore it, saying Like trump “it will disappear“ 50,000 caught the virus yesterday . The EU have banned the states from traveling to the EU because of the high covid

If Thailand did not do what they did, they would not be able to plan to have people visit -and travel

 

it’s like telling a doctor I am sick , then someone saying , forget about it , there are lots more sicker pepper than you . The doctor should fix them

first. 
 

Dont get me wrong , the government should sort out the poor and others. They need to sort out the tourism , to get people back at work and get money back in.

Every country tries to get tourism back on track.

It is just NOT gonna happen. Would you risk getting covid19 because you want 3 weeks holiday abroad? Or stay somewhere close to home this year and think about a proper holiday next year...

Are we still pretending tourism will return this year?

We were due to fly to the UK and mainland Europe in a couple of weeks time, we called the airline, Turkish, a little over two months ago to discuss our options, we were thinking of going in December instead.
We were advised that our flights, BKK-EDI & LGW-BKK had already been cancelled, we could either reschedule or get a refund.
We told him that we were were considering December and he advised he didn't think things would be back to normal this year, whatever normal is now, and further advised us to take the refund, which we did, he said the refund would take up to two months, it was two months to the day.
We're now thinking of 2022.

No, its a Certificate of Entry, totally different.

This is in addition to the visa.

Relax.. This doesn’t apply to most of us because general tourists are still not allowed in.

I am beginning to worry. The dictator does not like falangs. Now he is stopping them from coming to Thailand as tourist. He does not care what that does to the economy. His hatred for falangs is being satisfied. How long until he goes after the rest of us? This is not a good sign.
