The above said, everyone NEEDS to get vaccinated to reduce the spread of this horrible disease so that we can build up a decent herd immunity which would then allow us to get back to life without having to quarantine. Couldn’t agree more myself and family will be having it as soon as it is available in Thailand. 2

Thanks for the reminder, will have to ask the wife what she is going to do with her parents getting it. Also from what I have read kids under 12 won't be getting it, that said, I will have to make some enquiries with the private hospitals in due course to see where I might be on the list, e.g. 60 pre-exising condition ?

(My health is good though..) good luck for your health. dont let your guard loose if the covid cases in laos ae negligible. take precautions . stay healthy. stay strong. hope u shud be able to visit thailand sometime soon for medical checkups.

THEN, the issue would be will they be issuing travel vaccine stamps in passports and will Thailand allow no quarantine if you have one. Some countries still require vaccination certificates for yellow fever/ polio /meningitis. A similar system is likely for covid eventually. Also, we only have educated guesses as to whether the vaccine needs to be repeated every x months, so having to prove you had the jab within x months of travel is possible. I can't see this being implemented for at least 6 months realistically. The inevitable post-xmas spike will probably delay things too, let alone whatever delights brexit has in store. This time next year without quarantine - maybe.
whiteman Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Do not hold your breath I say 3 years time after most have been vaccinated

I think we should all appreciate Thailand for handling the crisis and keeping the reported numbers low. That samut sakhon outbreak is already being blamed on the " migrant workers". No idea if they will be treated at least as a human and provided medical care.

Dexxter Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 I might go back sometime next year if flights start up again and the quarantines are a thing of the past. As an older guy I will be pretty close to the head of the queue to receive a vaccine so I hope that will help my chances to travel. The only reason I want to return to Thailand is to be with my wife from whom I have been separated since March. Our longer term plan for early 2022 is to evacuate her from Thailand back to Australia and forget about LOS. It has no attraction any more for either of us.

Hanuman2547 Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 I'm thinking maybe late November or December of 2021. I'm in no rush really. I have people looking after my house there and the condo is pretty secure. Yes, I would rather spend the winter in Thailand but it's kind of a nice change to be in farangland for the winter too. 1 1
