Sounds like everyone needing a visa on arrival to enter Thailand next Tuesday could well find themselves stuck in an exceedingly long queue for the VOA counter!

I do think this post/news it's just to distract us from the other news about Thai people manifestations against government going on But all those scared of their chance at the buffet line .... well for 21 days at least you will be safe. ..... as they will now be quarantining in Bangkok there will be a restriction at the buffet, under the Bangkok stat of emergency, of only 5 people at a time. Also only one flag waver and four followers per tour group ..... they will require more tour buses, maybe a bit of a traffic jam. Either way, Bangkok may not be the best place for the Chinese to tour in the next month under the state of emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John CS Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I guess this is the start to convince the Thai citizens & globalist institutions, banks that they are implementing the control requirements for the Chinese Communist party & UN , ie STV Tourists if you believe this is a temporary arrangement, get in line sheeple ,its here to stay , unless...you value freedom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agreement with Beijing will be subject to the success of a limited reopening of the Thai tourism industry to foreign travelers this month, according to Tourism Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. China, which accounted for more than a quarter of Thailand’s tourist arrivals before the pandemic, will be the first low-risk country the Southeast Asian nation will sign up for quarantine-free travel, he said.

But thailand is worrying about the arrival of 120 tourists that will not even make a dent in a pack of butter . Also german and Uk Elite visa holders will arrive on private jets one of these days ?? Germany is one of the countries where the second wave is hitting . As i said before , i know the economy is getting hit hard by this pandemic ,but it's better to keep the country closed then opening it up and having to close it down again when the virus is being brought into the country . Many european countries are going back into a lockdown as the nr's are rising rappidly and the hospitals are getting full again . These countries where very quick opening up again to get tourisme going again and now need to close back down and having a big virus problem while before they had it under controle . So better keep thailand closed until people are being vaccinated here and in different parts of the world . Opening up and having to go back into lockdown with the virus then inside the country in big nr's will not help much and will only make it worse as will it be worse for the economy . You are aware that there is hardly any testing inside Thailand. In the USA 95% of people test negative. Which means a huge number of people is getting tested for no apparent reason or because they are sick from other diseases. Also, 99% of the population is virus free- not sure why people are acting like every second person on the street is infected. You may be surprised but there is a possibility that people carry the flu virus without symptoms as well. Until now, we only considered people sick when they were showing symptoms like fever, aches etc. Now just having the virus qualifies you as sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, 120 is a drop in the bucket. Thailand needs millions to restart its tourist economy.
