Anutin: Completely safe to open up Thailand to foreign tourism

[RyanWalker]

Anyone going to Thailand now must have serious business there. No person with a healthy brain will go sit there in quarantine andgo through all this joke

[JomtienRay]

So..

how about allowing legitimate long term 0 visa holders the same opportunity and same entry conditions to return to Thailand so they can undertake the quarantine and testing regime, and eventually return to their families in Thailand and continue spending money here..

The Chinese tourists are welcomed with open arms into Thailand, from the very country where this virus originated and contaminated the world population..

but the innocent O visa holders are the ones being discriminated against, and prohibited from coming back to their families..

Well done Thailand..!!

The laughing stock of the developed world.. ????

Hopefully, on the flight here they will not report seeing that monster dude on the airplane wing ala William Shatner.

Sorry, could not resist my favorite episode.

You can call me cynical ...BUT ! open up tourism and invite a second wave of the dreaded Virus ...them they can conveniently restrict/control all  movement throughout Thailand ....instantly shutting down the protests in the name of public health .... and take the moral high ground from the three fingered pro democracy mob...

Hit the nail on the head there.

Thai Visa are a fickle lot.

 

Anutin shuts the country down to tourism - you complain.

 

Anutin says it's time to open up to tourism - you complain.

[connda]

Yay!!! And 6 pot plants for every household.  Anutin for Prime Minister!!!
"Pssst.  No hemp plants are allow man. They make you feel good.  That ain't happening."
Well, the masses are going to need that medical weed when the entire population comes down with Covid-19.  ????

How does he explain the positive cases found in quarantine daily?

They don't test the Thais = infected Thais are allowed to travel and inevitably they will infect others on the flight.

 

I suggest anyone considering coming to Thailand thinks about this - you, as a filthy foreigner have to be tested but the Thai who might end up sitting next to you for many hours doesn't need to be tested at all.

That comment is an insult to American pioneers...  

[LukKrueng]

So when they closed the borders and don't allow anyone in - you guys complain. When he spoke against foreigners - you guys complain. Now that he says it's safe to open Thailand for tourists what do you guys do? Oh, yes, complain

Exactly, just a bunch of loony ex-doctors trying to stay relevant by spouting absolute nonsense.

Are you sure about that? or does it just feed your cognitive dissonance ???? 

Looks like you agree with suspending anyone who doesn't agree with the narrative, commie or socialist?

Its just a political stepping stone. As others have said. By December Q will be at 10 days for everyone except China/Sing/Kor/AUS/NZ etc as they will be No Q and test on arrival.

ASQ hotels and quarantine will be in place for everyone else for a while yet.

God that was funny, I take it you can't read and understand the article, get someone who is able to question the narrative to explain it to you. ????

People question history and how easy it is too fool people, you are obviously not one of those people ????

Dude, get a mask, dirty farangs are coming...

[biggles45]

These comments are meant for Domestic consumption. After berating filthy foreigners for 8 months they now have to convince Thais they are 'safe' 

[EricTh]

I doubt these 40 Chinese are real tourists.

 

Seriously, who wants to go through all those strict requirements before coming to Thailand and then have another 14 day quarantine and Covid test again when they arrive in Thailand?

 

They are most probably retirees or investors with existing properties in Thailand.
