TKDfella Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I do wish TAT and relatives would just...well, shut up. '...and when there is a vaccine...'. So after the pandemic is over, whenever that might be, what are they going to do? Up requirements for entry, Covid 19 vaccination no doubt keep the Covid insurance too. The world will have changed and that means Thailand too, along with their tourism. These guys are just scared to face the reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post newnative Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 Let's see... You're locked up in a hotel room but HEY this bright bulb is going to arrange for you to order everything you need on-line--food, souvenirs, etc. Well, gee, guy if I'm going to be doing everything on-line and I'm stuck in a room for weeks I'm wondering why I need to actually go to Thailand. As others have said on various threads, it seems Thailand would love to figure out a way to get our money without having to put up with us actually visiting. Looks like this guy has found a way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently want to explore Nepal, Myanmar, Sri Lanka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sometimes under the impression all these people do is settling on a floor mat and start chanting the mantra "Thailand will be grand again, Thailand will be hub again, Thailand will be glorious again" -- and then immediately afterwards call a press conference, presenting their feverish visions as fact. Otherwise it CANNOT be explained how this senior officials can be so adamant that Thailand is going to be FIRST country in the whole wide world that travelers will want to visit as soon as the crisis has abated -- while at the same time citing a long list of obnoxious requirements that will only PUT OFF the vast, vast majority of potential visitors. How can anyone be so contradictory??? I just don't understand it. Sigh. Why are these people incapable of gathering just one single reasonable thought and build a critical assessment on it??? It drives me insane! Just look at the funny side, less stressful...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hey Thailand, make it possible to visit for 6 months with only a passport needed on arrival. Get rid of all your various visas, which are only cash cows anyway. You want to recover the tourist sector, do it realistically, Mexico is a likely destination for me when the virus has a vaccine and the international air travel is back in order. I only need my passport for a visit there. Same for Honduras, Guatamala, Belize etc, do you understand. Thailand is 7th on my list of places, as I also plan to go to Australia, and Scotland and the UK before I return to Thailand. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Thailand will be the last to recover as the cases will start to surge here last but not least. They have tried to conceal and hide Covid but they can not. They will blame other countries for the porous border crossings not being controlled, but in the end it wi be Thai people who spread the virus. New game starts now on the north. Winter is coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been no Covid in Thailand for months. Recent small outbreak in Chiang Mai which will soon be suppressed. There is no winter in Thailand, just dry season. Average temps in Thailand in January are the same as UK in high Summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather in the north is cool, Average temps for the rest of the country may be higher but in Chiang Mai today it is only 16 degrees C in some of the Areas, but will warm to maybe 25 degrees C, so in other words 60 degrees F to 77 degrees F. In Chiang Rai it is between 13 C and a high of 24 C, so not like the rest of Thailand, higher elevations are cooler, you really do need to do some research before you spout off that there is no winter in Thailand. Freezing temperature are in the upper reaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Thai bashing, they are already jumping on their own people for needing better border security and with that comes the issue of a lack of border security and such on the other side. They, Myanmar, have arrested the entertainment venue manager for violating the laws enacted in Myanmar, but they obviously did not control the Golden Triangle Are well enough, so it goes without saying the blame will be spread equally.

That doesnt show your suggestion that Thailand will blame other Countries for the porous border . The Thai Government have told the Thai side to tighten up border controls , they havent mentioned other Countries should also do the same .

You have never worked with this Government like I have obviously so you do not know the extent of information passed back and forth. Take care.
