snoop1130 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Two Groups of Tourists to Arrive in Thailand This Month BANGKOK, Oct 6 (TNA) – At least two groups of foreign tourists are scheduled to arrive in Thailand in October under the Special Tourist Visa (STV) scheme. Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Yutthasak Supasorn confirmed that tourists from China and Scandinavian countries, complying with regulations will come to Thailand after the Thai government started easing regulations on Oct 1.

Rhacsyn Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The 7 rich Chinese tourists that came were friends of rich people. Phuket airport states that NO tourists will arrive on 8th October, contrary to what has been publshed. In fact, the government meet on 9th to further discuss approval of the STV. As per Thai long stay, allegedly it has not been rubber stamped yet. As for me, I am outside Thailand and looking at all channels to return so I hope it does kick in soon ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Chance Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I'll bet some of the Chinese have been vaccinated but is is all hush hush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oompie69 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 TAT says they are coming. Has AAOT okayed this? Given previous issues where the left hand doesn't always know what the right hand is doing, this could end badly for the prospective tourists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another question is if all these tourists are obeying the rules and regulations as we are led to believe, surely some of their paperwork will be out of date given the time frame that medical fit to fly and covid checks etc. as per government directives ...LOL 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
