These are countries that have been as successful as Thailand in controlling the pandemic and delivering vaccine

That's questionable.

Pipat has been busy this week on all his plans.

Just as well they don't bother with accountability over here, otherwise his work report would state

"Must try harder"

While there are still wrinkles, this seems to be the most sensible attempt yet. I sincerely hope for the sake of all those affected, that they can successfully open the country up to some degree soon.

A soon as they've completed the inoculation programme.. right?

Not very fortunate for the millions of people in Thailand reliant on tourism is it , should they eat cake ?

I wouldn't, the sponges here are rather tasteless.

... Meanwhile Brits, having been vaccinated, will be able to take their annual 2 weeks summer holiday in Cyprus without being incarcerated and gouged of their hard earned cash.

Says so much for the inward facing EU, staying in touch with our commonwealth friends...love it.

No. Officially this divided island still belongs to the EU.

Yes I have a link.

You would have to show me where I said there would be no tourists.

Nobody on this forum will have any say on how tourists arrive, so why try and make out otherwise.

What on earth have you been smoking ?

Of course nobody on this forum makes decisions , we merely offer opinions.

The fact is that no amount of hare brained schemes will entice large numbers of tourists to Thailand whilst any form of quarantine is in place.

Here is an interesting idea reported to be implemented in Greece , starting in May.   Covid free Islands. 

Something that Thailand could also do,  Take an Island, , restrict all un-vaccinated travel to it. and allow vaccinated foreigners to vacation there , and or do their quarantine time there.  I would do something like that in a heartbeat.

I will respond as soon as I finish rolling on the floor!  ????  This is all the same stuff since day one instead of individuals now it is 3 with some famous or well known family guy?   You can't make this stuff up or can they?  These guys should start their own Thailand Saturday Night Live!

Here is a smart thought. Test people when they arrive. If the test is negative, let them go......

 

It is really not rocket science.
