hotchilli Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 4 hours ago, webfact said: The Thai government on Friday released its proposal for relaxing COVID-19 measures and re-opening the country to foreign tourists. Thailand may open up slowly, some of the service workers more readily, but a lot depends on other countries on how they are allowed to move around and back into their own countries, after venturing abroad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Swift Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Having concluded that cynicism is toxic, I think tourism is an economic force that has been pressing against the closed doors ever since this began, and I think it will revive nicely, if slowly. I predict a welcome surge forward in the beginning. Just my own intuition. I think some measured optimism is justified. Also, yes this process will lurch along somewhat disorganizedly, and that is to be expected and not complained about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Thailand has taken into consideration the possibility of many infected Burmese illegal migrants crossing the long "open" border into LOS fleeing the murderous Military Junta?

sallecc Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Is there a link to this news source? Totally unclear about 7 days quarantine for vaccinated visitors, TV says "later", but BP and TG says "from April 1"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBF Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, bermondburi said: Jeez. What's with the negativity. I think it's great news if it happens. Gonna make a big difference to me. In BP it says 7 days for the vaccinated from April 1st. Personally, IF, repeat IF this follows through, I also see it as great news! It would mean that my next winter's "Snowbirding" can go ahead (I've already written this winter off anyway) It seems that the TVF "Glass half empty" merchants are out in force today! However, I remain fully aware that my aforementioned "IF" is a big one...I also remain an optimist! ???? And @Jonathan Swift: I agree!

Fromas Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Although this is welcome news, the new Covid variants could change everything. Still plenty of uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallen52 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) So if by chance you are overseas and get a vaccine from your home country, its welcome back. Or in the process of planning to come, April is 10 days. hopefully. Unfortunately if you are here and need to leave, then come back. (Many do this), its get vaccinated or do 10 days, or wait even longer if you are anti vaxx. Not much hope of a farang vaccination here yet.

mommysboy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It's not safe to open Thailand until at least 25 million people have been vaccinated- over 50's and most vulnerable. It would be carnage within a couple of months. And even then you'd have to guard against new variants, so there would have to be rigorous testing and quarantine. My prediction is the middle of next year, after initial inoculations and a new variant booster. Thailand really needs to get every adult jabbed. I believe they can do it with a combination of AZ and Sinovac. Also within a few months I predict the AZ jab will be a one dose vaccine, for expedience if nothing else- lots of Indians are already treating it as such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vangrop Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 They first should organise a vaccination scheme for all the Thai population and then organise a consequent ruling for the tourists. But this is Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megasin1 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) You take your chances mate as my neighbour in her 40s got it, her immune system attacked her nervous system and she is now in right state, can't move about with most of her lower body locked up and its ongoing and ongoing, but of course fortunately for your facts she isn't dead so hey ho, everyone to their own huh?

Muzzique Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Planning to open for tourists in Oct when the third wave is just starting and COVID is mutating like crazy? That's like opening an umbrella shop in the middle of a hurricane. Good luck with that. They are just pouring out BS after BS. Now if they were selling umbrella for that I'd buy one.
