Anutin is the Public Health Minister and was he not recently bestowed a lofty position with WHO for SE Asia? If WHO has a minimum standard for quarantine of 14 days, how on earth can Anutin as a WHO representative advocate 10 days... Another non-starter..

The 14 day quarantine is for people who have covid-19 and if you test positive you will remain in quarantine for 14 days. If you do NOT test positive for covid-19 during the first 7 days you should be fine and a quarantine of 10 days would be sufficient. This quarantine should be more flexible when sufficient testing is available. If the testing capacity is not available the standard period of 14 days should be followed.

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
•   

 

 

You believe that a tourist will stand in line a d waste hours every day during their vacation?

Arrival test.. yes

Anything after that won't work in real life.

 

People will simply go where it is easier to enter

More than 99% of the world is not infected... life always carries a risk, air pollution, traffic other diseases kill people too

Forget all this pointless speculation.......... Just wait until the whole country blows up into the SH&% storm that's been created by these loons and when it all dies down then there'll be next to no requirements for getting into Thailand as it used to be .......  Sit back and watch the show.......  This is just the "Clans" fighting amongst themselves in the style where they came from...... Feudalistic fiefdom tactics........  Greedy little F$%$ Wits...... 

I just wonder how much the average Thai will eventually end up hating the Hi so (Gov) tourists from the North East........ They don't like them now......  later after all this hardship ?

If qurentine reduced it will help 

But surely not solve the problem 

It's redicilos to think you can have normal tourists with querntine 

People have jobs a short holiday 

The normal people 

They want to plan date book hotel come have fun a go home. The others want to save money a pass winter a they not going to spend 2000 usd 

As my friend just did because if marriage to enter Thailand 

[sdweller]

Or... you could just test every tourist who wants to come into the country and spend money? Regardless of what country they are from, (what does it matter where you are from as long as you don't have the virus?).

absolutely, and why dont they use the great result in 1 hour 15 minute test they were patting themselves on the back for developing a month or so ago? it's a quicker test than the uk currently has, in fact why aren't they selling this test to western countries and making a mint?!

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

Economic downturns reliably translate into loss of life due to  loss of livelihood, increased incidence of diseases of despair like suicide and substance abuse, violent crime, malnutrition, spousal/child abuse, and other downstream effects probably too numerous to mention.  It's highly correlatable and there's even a formula you can look up for the exact ratio.

 

You can't seriously think the issue is as black-and-white as you frame it.

 

All countries put a price on life, no matter what their PR looks like.  It's unavoidable.

Should we read this story as evidence that the economic consequences of putting tourism on hold are beginning to bite..?

All Thailand wants is to brag about being the first country in Asia opening up to tourists.

 

They have this fetish with the "good image of Thailand".

 

In reality, the only ones coming are those missing their wives, then Thailand can quickly categorize them as tourists and claim the programme was a fantastic success.

 

Of course, more evaluation will be made past 30 September 2021. Until then, it needs to be tried out for a year, see if it works, no?

So what? 

Permanent evaluation of your decisions is good politics. 

Modern political cybernetics. 

In a world of growing uncertainty that's all you can do.

Well. You can do better. Re-evaluate every 14 days not every year.

 

But that's not really desired in Thailand, is it?

 

Seems a bit in (caugh caugh), slow motion.

Aruba has the best plan by far.

 

https://www.visitaruba.com/traveling-to-aruba/entry-requirements-and-visas/aruba-travel-restrictions-covid-19/

 

Test either before you board the plane or on arrival depending where you are coming from (before if from a high risk area). The key added part is mandatory visitor insurance that costs from $10 to $3 per day depending on length of stay. Or $1.40 per day if staying over 90 days. The insurance covers all costs if you are diagnosed with Covid, including costs associated with having to self-quarantine if it's not a serious infection. BRILLIANT PLAN!

This is Thailand so anything could happen, including changing their mind and a total reversal... Which makes it really hard to make any plans to visit Thailand.

 many in this world were facing economic downturns before covid came along which also spurred on all those conditions listed above - funny nobody gave a damn then and just as funny many don't give a damn now that spreading this disease unchecked will cause a lot more problems than those listed..

[jerolamo]

If they really love their own country, why don't they offer tests much much more to their own citizen for free ? Also from blood test...

They would then see how many cases there is in Thailand, really.

Actually, they don't know anything, but never mind, they still speak and take hard decisions again and again.

Decisions they sure, don't have to assume by themselves, but poor people will paid the hard way.

 

Suicide cases is going up to 22% (same than in 1997) in Thailand. Much more cases than low health people who die from COVID in my own country where they do test a lot.

 

Thailand population don't have luck with there own government too.

 

Sad story time.

One more reason for them to continue the charade and to keep the country closed is the loss of face they would experience when healthy foreign tourists come, but then leave home infected two weeks later after their holidays.

 

This wouldn't be a big issue for their home countries which have a more sensible approach to the pandemic, however, but embarrasing for the lying Thai government and its "experts" Yong and Thira.
