hotchilli Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 8 hours ago, webfact said: Thailand's DPM and health minister Anutin Charnvirakul was pressed by the Thai press yesterday for answers about when quarantine for foreign tourists will end. Considering Thailand has as yet not got to grips with procuring a vaccine in any great numbers, and will not be manufacturing a vaccine until June at the earliest, let alone using it on the population, how they can open up the country is beyond comprehension.

DogNo1 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Not buying imported vaccines between now and the start of local production seems penny wise and pound foolish. The more quickly Thais can be vaccinated, the more quickly restrictions could be eased. I'm curious about the reason that the AstraZeneca raw materials can't be supplied until June. On various international news shows, it is said that the race is on between getting people vaccinated and the development of new and perhaps more dangerous strains of the virus. It is just possible that within the next three months a strain will emerge that the present vaccines cannot effectively protect against. I don't know the credence of the existence of new strains in Brazil that can cause second and third infections just as deadly as the present strains. If those strains were to spread widely, it would be, as they say, a new ballgame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 A bit off topic in spite of the rules being relax I believe one still has to go through the long and painful process of obtaining a C.O.E. although it is mentioned the quarantine is being reduce you are still required to obtain insurance 100,000 USD with age and length of stay especially a year it can run 140,000 baht? Anyone recently especially from the West Coast U.S. gone through the process and enter Thailand? What was the length of time it took 1-2 months to go through all the hoops and get in? Thanks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the vaccine existed, all governments were saying "don't worry, the vaccine will be here soon and we'll be back to normal almost immediately".

Anyone would think that governments liked being in lockdown. But then again, MPs are sitting in their big houses drinking expensive wine on full pay, so I'm sure that they want more lockdowns.

Ah-huh Power freaks use their powers and then never again relinquish those powers until the entire system breaks down, as in a war or a complete collapse of society.

shackleton Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Stick with the Quarantine measures to go by 1st October 2021 When a lot of the Country has been vaccinated Would make more sense and people can start planning for the arrival of tourists in mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Thai government can be absolutely 100% sure that having jumped through all of the above hoops I will not go into quarantine for more than a day no matter how much I want to return. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are getting richer and richer for doing very little, whilst everyone else is suffering. Whoever you quoted that said "immediately" has a different meaning for it than the rest of us. Vaccines are definitely the best way out and are working better than expected. The problem is getting people to want them after the idiotic goings on in Europe over AZ. I'm glad here in the UK most people can see through all that nonsense. Roll on Monday when I get my first Pfizer jab and my father gets his second.

It's probably already saved thousands, if not tens of thousands of Thai lives, and hundreds of billions, if not trillions of Baht for businesses that would have had to shut down or curtail their activities if there had been a major outbreak. Not only that, but the Thai government has been applauded by governments and health professional around the world for its effective handling of the Covid situation." Anutin: "Chai krup, it has been a great success, so now I propose that we abandon it and return to our normally stupid and disjointed behaviour by dropping the quarantine requirement for anybody who can buy a piece of paper resembling a vaccination certificate on the internet.
