Popular Post phitsanulokjohn Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2020 Although not urgent at this stage,I could do with returning to the UK for a month.2 weeks would be compulsory self isolation imposed by the UK govt,and a further 2 weeks tying up a few odds and ends. Being married to a Thai for 17 years I fall into number 6 of the 11 eligible categories,but can anyone tell me where I am supposed to obtain within the UK "a Health certificate clarifying no risk of COVID-19, using a RT-PCR laboratory technique, issued no more than 72 hours before travelling (required from passengers in Types 2, 3, and 6-11). I have read on the net these are not obtainable within the UK,let alone within 72 hours of flying. As said I could do with going to the UK,but don't wish to be locked out of Thailand where I live. Any advice appreciated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One left off the list how long after entry does a person has to bend over and take it????? Alternate temp check. By signing the TMXYZ alinea 69 note 6 in fine print you agreed to that.

Traubert Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 51 minutes ago, joe jadore said: Thailand tourism will be EXTINCT if they persist with this 100K USA valued insurance policy! Pensioners for starters could never afford it! Australians have Medicare which covers most things for FREE!!!! If you think they are going to spend 5/6/7K on a insurance policy for a 2 week vacation your crazy! The rest of the world "mostly" has a similar equation of their populations. Think again Thailand or close your beaches, hotels, malls, restaurants and bars. Cambodia has a 3k refundable deposit system. They are about to become a rich country, if Thailand doesn't act quickly. Plus $50,000 insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Me Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 They're all treading water till the vaccine's available. Word on the pharma street is that the horse race between the labs should be over soon with production on at least a couple of types beginning early 2021. Go behind the screen, sir, pull your pants down and wait for the robot injecting machine to wheel up to you. Thank you for your cooperation. Have a nice flight.

Untested vaccine just to go somewhere, no thanks. The places waiting for vaccines for mass tourism will just be desolate resorts with boarded up bars, shops and restaurants. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only accelerating the whole invention to approval process not skipping steps. What comes out at the other end will be safe. Won't be foolproof protection though. But most countries will be willing to take their chances admitting a vaccinated visitor vs. one not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggleRock Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Basic math, Thailand + entry restrictions = zero tourists. Additionally the PCR test gives a positive if you have flu, as flu by its nature is a coronavirus ... so your covid 19 free but will test positive... stupid government dont even know the guy who developed the test, who was a Nobel prize winner for Chemistry and said the test was floored and gave many false/negatives... gee Thailand do you dam research ..

holy cow cm Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yeah, we don't care that you invested some big money bought a condo that is your permanent home and want to get back.

Obviously, if you're looking out 20 years there's no 100% guarantee. But FDA regulations are about as thorough as can reasonably be. Key word " reasonably" when weighing the need to get the med to patients vs. risk. Edited July 9, 2020 by Why Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big pharma want to make money out of covid-19 vaccines, usually these take years to test and you'll be the guinea pig. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the lawsuit if they cheat will not be millions. It'll be billions. Conversely, the incentive to get a properly approved vaccine in production is also billions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambotte Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I hope there will be some sense about this vaccine. Logic, and freedom, would rather make an accurate test mandatory, OR a vaccine. But not a mandatory vaccine. I wonder if this new abnormal will pass too. And what for people being allergic or unsuitable for vaccine ? No more travel ?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots do that for various diseases already (see https://www.who.int/ith/2016-ith-county-list.pdf). In case of Covid the requirement could be vaccination or quarantine. Thailand might go that route.

Guarantees are few and far between. Not property holders but Permanent residency holders which are rare and very hard to get, I am a company Director of a real Estate company in Thailand and own many properties, Have retirement visa and live there full time, came to UK in March for 2 weeks and was not able to get back. Had all the initial covid free test cert, fit to fly certs and didn't need $100.000 dollar insurance back then but could still not board my flight at Heathrow because the airline staff were all panicking and basically wasn't sure what to do. had many flights cancelled the most recent for 1st August just cancelled yet again, so still here. I am beginning to regret pumping a lot of money into business there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
