Opening Thailand to foreign tourists: Thai PM strikes cautious tone

[LeoCesar]

Who want to come here now when there are so many other places to go to that are cheaper and without quarantine requirements?

And Prayut are a good friend of ccp and willing to sell out Thailand even more in return for some money for him self and his cronies.

What a bafoon he is!

Oh, 1 person? I won't panic just yet. 

4 months on, hardly long term. 

And who's to know that covid caused her problems? 

Let's go with the other 99.9% of people who have had the problem (and not died) and have recovered just fine. 

What do you think is a reasonable likelihood that tens of thousands of the brightest scientific minds across the world have it all wrong and you have it right? 

[EricTh]

Government officials don't get affected because at the end of the day, they still get their salary so they don't feel the pain of the unemployed.

 

Why not take away their (government officials) salaries for six months and then they will open up the borders in no time.

Submarines may just be the answer! 

I know what you mean. They are spending so many MILLIONS of DOLLARS on Submarines, while so many people are starving. They say that they are worried about the people, but what about the people who are starving because noone in their family can work to get food to feed them? Like all governments these days they can't see more than 2 feet in front of their faces. And in this case as well, they are just following other countries example instead of making their own policies based on what is actually happening in their own country.

Tens of thousands of scientific minds? Like who? I have seen it reported that it may have lasting effects for some. 

So you're actually saying we should all continue to put our lives on hold to do everything possible to not catch it just in case of future problems down the line? 

Come on, get a grip.

Go there then. Nothing stopping you now, or in the past. 

 

But beware the virus numbers are becoming high there again. 

 

Furtheremore, you will have to quarantine on your return to the UK. 

[Rockbottom]

With businesses financially struggling because of the virus, anyone with a pulse should ask the question: Why does Thailand need to spend 22.5 Bn baht on two Chinese diesel powered submarines?

 

Submarines literally have no peacetime purpose as opposed to ships that may carry emergency supplies to troubled areas.  With the avg. depth of the Gulf of Thailand at approximately 60 meters, that's like trying to submerge a canoe in a bathtub. The chances of Thailand engaging in war in SE Asia is slim to none. Where do they intend to engage in covert sub operations? In the south pacific?

 

This is an absurd luxury purchase that is totally unnecessary especially under current circumstances unless the gov't and military are under the delusion that they are indeed a super power.

I assume most of those outside Thailand among us now don't miss Thailand at all, as this corrupt xenophbic banana republic which it is.

 

But we do miss our families, girlfriends and friends there.

 

That's the only issue which counts for most of us, and this is why we can't erase this country from our memory.

That is exactly the point!
I have not seen my family for eight(!) months now.
Cheap beer and good food, here in Germany, doesn't help either.
Not to mention the double costs...

"While recognising the hardship of the unemployed he said that economic recovery and public health must go hand in hand. "

0 COVID  => 0 THB tourism origin.

 

such is the minimalist link sufficient to demonstrate the real intellectual aptitudes and the terrible and limiting fears of the one who produces this kind of infantile equation.

as long as knowledge is so minimalistic, as long as things won't turn out for the better.

Not for much longer...

 

Enjoy it while you are able...

 

If you search for the number of actual deaths, you will see that they are now very very low in countries all around the world. "Cases" are rising because "Testing" is being ramped up again. Check out the meme *"Casedemic", the creators also show the death count along side similar country charts like the one above . The rtPCR test is a very unreliable gauge of real disease, i.e., actual sick people. (The inventor the rt-PCR Test, Kary Mullis said much the same. The test does not detect Viral Load, the real determinate of disease!)  The idea that an "a-systematic" person should be considered sick, until proven otherwise, smells of a driven agenda to me. IMO, WE are being All being played for the greater good of Big Pharma... and the Globalist, One World Government" agenda. 

 

I just saw this:  

 

From MarketWatch.com ... CDC Guidance Shift: No need to test those exposed to Covid-19 -but asymptomatic.

 

*I would add a link, but the last time I did my comment was removed.

Further globalist propaganda

The WHO calls for us to be socially controlled in this fashion from now on, this is their normal , not the citizens

They destroy your future , force you to wear masks under the fear & pretence of the virus.

Please be clear about this in your understanding the Govt has brought this, in compliance with UN & WHO, they are already talking about Global warming

They also wish to continue with the pretence of the fear of the virus in compliance with WHO, to force control on you

They are not protecting people they are enslaving you  in a new preorganized move. I admit it is difficult to comprehend ,but it is happening

It is not about public health , as there has been no public health impact ,Old infirm people are dying , 95% of society live healthy , no masks , no distancing, no lockdowns

Wake up & follow the US , take lead in that particular battle

Battle against UN, WEF, the elite

Your Govt are primarily interested parties in a global wealth transfer false flag exercise, it is certainly not about your interests , though it is about economics of the elite globalist oligarchs and technocrats

Better get back on those meds...

LOL so very easy to open to freely allow responsible tourists in. But the Uthorities need a brain to implement the policy. So yes cancel watch the country crumbled

How would they determine who is responsible? That rules out pretty much all of the western world and possibly a lot of Asia too. Cases are in the thousands per day in a lot of Europe and even in the tens of thousands elsewhere so that tells us people can't be trusted. After all, the ideology in Thailand is zero local cases and nothing else is acceptable.

All the people who say that no one wants to come to Thailand: in our company we have daily requests, from October onwards!

Yes...it is not the quantity of pre- Covid, but the potential to get at least some decent number of people interested is absolutely there!

But...with this constant yes no mayby no no absolutely not maybe yes- course, this is going nowhere!

As well with the absolutely mindnumbingly stupid 14 days of quaranteen, 100.000 $ coverage insurance and 72 hour- Covid - test!

I wish, some people would just sit down together and come up with a plan!

ANY PLAN!

...but then I wake up and remember, where I am! 

Daily requests, what happens when you inform them about the restrictions/rules, are they still interested ? People is saying nobody wants to come to Thailand with this stupid restrictions you mention your self.

[Shey420]

They have to make a decision by September 26. Open up with no quarantine and definitely increase infections or some kind of quarantine 7-14 or 21 days. 

No quarantine will definitely cause hysteria when cases rise and another lock down. Then those who don't want to or can't be stuck there will be.

 

I looked at this from all view. The best possible outcome at this time would be  7 day approved beach resort or hotel quarantine. Test negative to leave phuket and travel freely.  Agreement to test again on day 14 and/or 21.

To all those who think covid is not serious, there is long term permanent damage done even when a person is asymptomatic. This is a serious disease. The effects of this will be felt for decades. New cancers, early organ failures, etc.

It is a cancer-causing virus?  You mean, like "Simean-Virus-40" - the one big-pharma gave pretty much everyone on the planet via their Polio Vaccine?  ( 

@leicesterguyuk ) Cancer used to be a very, very rare disease. 

 

The contamination was initially accidental, but they went ahead and sold the millions of contaminated stockpiled-doses, even after they knew it was contaminated.  Money comes first, before our lives, and cancer turned out to be very profitable for them. 

 

They did the same thing later, with AIDS-contaminated stockpiles of hemophillia-treatment drugs.  Call me cyncial, but I don't trust companies that do these sorts of things consistently, over decades. 

 

If the CCP's experimental virus is indeed a cancer-causing one (a big "if"), we have to wonder if those genes were inserted, or naturally-occurring.  We will probably never be able to answer that, though it might be "later admitted" in about 40 to 60 years - the usual "declassification" time-span, after the perpetrators are all dead.

The PM doesn't understand that there are now Thai people not able to to feed themselves with food and pay there rent or mortgage as no handouts from the goverment because they lost there job because of the economic situation in thailand because of no tourism.

There are more deaths a day caused in thailand through accidents on the road than there has been covid-19 linked deaths since the start of the pandemic.

 

Thailand will have to take the chance of reopening to tourists soon before there are Thai people starving on the streets and no home to stay in , going back to a third world country will be the status soon if the Thai goverment doesn't make some drastic steps to open up and take that risk that there will be more deaths.
