Do the ill informed that wish for vaccines really imagine the wealthy or their families will be getting jabbed? Like Obama allowing GM foods for the masses as his family ate organic. Different laws for different classes.

Indeed, the "wealthy" don't believe all the garbage written in the MSM, they know different as they or their "friends" are the ones that write the scenarios for the ongoing "agenda"

[Misterwhisper]

Goody! Soon the skies above Thailand will be buzzing with Cessnas and Lears, all of them scrambling to hurriedly flying into the country to gain their place under the sun and spend wagon loads of their money.

 

What a brilliant idea. Only a Thai could come up with it, honestly!

If I borrowed the Iron Man suit and flew in would I be treated as a rich Hi-So, if so I will go to the mall and buy one, then act like I just landed at the airport, albeit outside of the terminal area....

'terminal area' I thought that was reserved for the plebs with fatal diseases?

[crazykopite]

If I were fortunate enough to be supper wealthy Thailand would be at the bottom of my list to visit

[uli65]

there is a fit of megalomania in this minor country.

[Matzzon]

Naturally! They are so rich, that there is no chance that they might be infected with a virus. Rich people don´t get sick!

[holy cow cm]

There is the loop hole opening up the box. Charter flights is how the Russians get into U Tapao airport. The 
Chinese will do it this way too. They won't be wealthy, just on a chartered air flight. 

[rupert the bear]

stupidity corruption greed and of course most unhealthy for the rest of us but dont let me trouble you whilst you gorge yourself at the trough.we really can see what exactly we are dealing with here.

[Colabamumbai]

People who can afford private planes have better places to visit. 

[banagan]

So this is only for the so called bubble countries they deem are safe? Or anyone with enough cash? Rich Chinese?

Have they even begun to think this through? This would likely bring a mere handful to a country that needs millions to restore anything like normality to the travel sector. Thailand has been very fortunate with Covid and to let anyone in who has a few bucks more than average early seems like asking for trouble.

but we can't have the worldwide hi-so club inconvenienced in any way can we? 

[Guderian]

No doubt it sounds good to the ears of those on high, but these mega-rich types simply don't spend enough money to replace the unwashed hordes who were not lucky enough to be able to afford to "avoid direct impact from the pandemic". The Cheap Charlies may not spend a lot individually, but there's an awful lot of them.

[Pilotman]

They never stopped them. Private Jets were flying into U Tapao for fishing weekends all through the lock-down.  The provisos were that they must have a medical cert showing no Covid exposure, no interaction with any Thais apart from on the boat and to go straight to and from the boat moored in the Marinas.  That trade never stopped. 

[PatOngo]

WOW! Are there enough airports and hotels to accommodate them all? They'd better print more baht!

that will be flying in,in droves just to see "Amazing Thailand."

Most private jets are small and can be parked between the scores of jumbo jets bearing the tail fin logo of a well known country in SE Asia.......

[bestie]

If you can't afford a private plane and staying in a 5 star Hotel with a golden toilette flush and a $100K insurance then you better leave Thailand, better leave now. You had all the time to leave.. leave ... Now ????  

[Zikomat]

40 mln private jets per year should definitely suffice.

never about health ,fairness or greater good; only about money

FYI, on 17 June, Singapore opened a fast-track, non-quarantine visitor channel for foreigners from Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Mainland China, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. They have also initiated a 'fast lane' for residents in China who need to make essential business or official travel between Singapore and the six fast lane regions in China (Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Tianjin and Zhejiang).

 

Now, back to the Thai bashing.

“Many in the high-spending, high-income groups avoided direct impact from the pandemic, but couldn’t come here because of travel restrictions,” Chula Sukmanop, director general of the CAAT, said in an interview Tuesday. “I’ve spoken with private aircraft operators who said they have plenty of potential customers looking to charter a plane to here.”

as long as we do not get reliable statistics that in a meaningful manner depict what the impact of this virus is per million inhabitants, and the correlations to the available hospital IC beds, such generalisations as above are meaningless.

I would have guessed the other way around, people with an active social life are more prone to infections: Prince Charles; BJ; top sportsmen; Donny's clan; ....

Rich guy on private Gulf stream V: Tell the pilot to put in a vector for Thailand.  Just got news from Thai visa  that they have opened it up for us. Remind everyone else they will need to stay on board or go into state quarantine for 14 days while I'm mooching around.

 

Yeah right!

Why was Thailand not included in the fast track...or don't they believe the Thai numbers????.

[TexasRanger]

Meanwhile they have made it incredibly difficult for people to reunite with their families who have been seperated for months. Disgusting.

Who was the first mile-high awardee?
I suppose it could possibly have been Orville Wright in 1903, but it would have to have been a very quick J. Arthur, as it was solo and only 120 feet for 12 seconds.

People with money have already paid for their stay in Thailand before they have stepped out of their own home. Air Fare, Hotel including food , transport. I've spoken to many in the Hilton who are quiet happy to have a quiet two of three week by the sea.
