I disagree. After the hospitals (again) in the EU, UK and the US become overwhelmed and the death rates rise accordingly, folks with money will come here. But you're right, the person who travels by the seat of their pants will not be able to cover it..

Maybe another "top doctor" now ventures out to suggest 16 days instead: Not because he has a valid reason for his figure...no, he was one of the few who had not been in the papers for a length of time

[ronaldo0]

Basically all standing around scratching their behinds and watching what every other country is doing , then spouting off about it as if they thought off it !

If this nonsense is still going on by xmas and new year then there will be a lot of very very unhappy and poor people in tourist areas and tourism related jobs !

Yeah, good possible. This Dr. Yong did not say anything for three days already. Did he catch Covid locally maybe? 

 

But, I don't think he will limit himself to requiring 16 days only this time. Keep in mind that a few days ago, for their "300 tourist to rescue Thailand by joining a cooking course to learn making Green-Curry-Pizza while in quarantine"-scheme, the health ministry sentenced these dirty-foreigner-guests to 28 days quarantine already. 14 days before the flight, plus 14 days after the flight when in Thailand. I think Yong will stick to minimum 28 days.

as it can take 2 to 14 days to display symptoms this is not good enough, c'mon Thailand don't bend now just because the rest of the world is going down the toilet..

You may have noticed Thailand’s tourist industry and wider economy (millions unemployed) is also languishing in said toilet ?

[Polaky]

With a 4 day reduction there will be a rush of tourism in november.

hence why so many countries have so many dead, they put a price on life - ghouls..

quarantine is good for nothing,  0 day is ok . All humans will get in contact with some corona antigens from different virus mutations sooner or later. Virus production is not sine qua non. "Wrong" immune cells are responsible for the diseases.
the hint concerning a good vaccine  : vaccination is based on antigens

They haven't got to the technicalities yet.. just the hot air.

That'll be sometime next year the... don't think Pipat can wait that long for his master plan to come to fruition.

[Boedog]

 

Wonder how long before these idiots wake up realize no one is coming , quarantine in Government approved hotel, $100k US insurance for covid, cost of a flight if there is one, medical before you leave, when you arrive

There is always 'a price on life'. Otherwise every penny a country earned would go to the health budget. Or in Thailand’s case they would spend far more on roads and driver training to save 25,000 lives per year.

Hi Dallen.  What latest information are you referring too?  Can you post a link?

[smew]

With quarantine of 14, 10 or 7 days no one will come.. !!!!

 

Many places within our own countries or Europe to visit

  

If TAT wants visitors NO quarantine but:

 

• valid (-)ve virus test 72-48hrs before departure 
• (-)ve virus test on arrival
• (+)ve quarantine 
• every tourist has a bar code issued upon arrival
• set up multiple virus testing facilities: generate employment for local medical personnel: 
• daily virus tests of all tourists for 14 days, tied with bar code: charged to tourists at cost
•

But only 95 percent from flu.

 

So, and it's obvious that WHO and the nations planned something bigger with that whole Covid-19

Wake up 

Yes, every country in the world, even the ones like China and US that agree on nothing; have all conspired together, and managed to keep this conspiracy a secret.

 

Lucky for the world that you have figured it out and let us know.

If they cut it to TEN or less they will have to almost double the loom plice otherwise they looose money! Thai style.

Where did you see Anutin mentioned in this article? I only see Dr Thawee Chotphitayasunon's who's an 

adviser to the Thai health ministry, and also  advised caution and further studies before making any decisions, and tourism minister Pipat Ratchakitprkarn 

 

Besides, I'm not so sure the WHO know much, or any better than other health professionals, nor about their objectivity and integrity.

 

[rickudon]

Of course, 5% of people with flu do not die. It is more like 0.01-0.05%, just another poster who doesn't know what they are posting about. But 3% for Covid - that is 'about' right.

 

Anyway, Covid has already probably killed more people this year than any flu pandemic has since the Spanish flu of 100 years ago - and it is no way finished yet. It will be not be how many thousands, but how many millions die (1st million will be officially passed this weekend).

Do you mean let the tourists roam free anywhere they want but continue testing for virus on a daily basis? And what happens if any tourist is found positive after few days out on the streets? Find everybody that was in their proximity and isolate them? 

I agree the country should open up and that quarantine is expensive and will deter many tourists from coming. But no quarantine at all and let everybody from everywhere in is not the answer either

They don't test Thais before departure - this is the root of the problem here.

Ever heard of incubation period? 

It's still 14 days, but they include the period between your first Corona test and your test at embarkment in Thailand. And that takes 4 days normally.

Of course only for people got vaccinated at least 14 days before disembarkment. Guess they'll check your WHO vaccination card.
