Popular Post webfact Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 CCSA small committee spokeswoman Dr Apisamai Srirangsan said that today's the day that new quarantine and testing regulations come in. They have been signed off by PM Prayuth Chan-ocha the head of the big committee. Here are the details: Quarantine is 7 days for tourists who have been vaccinated* fully (we assume that means twice) 14 days prior to arriving in Thailand. Quarantine is 10 days for those who have not been vaccinated or not received the full doses TNN explained the * as being vaccinations approved by the Thai authorities and the WHO. Quarantine of 14 days remains for those coming from areas with virus mutations as designated by the Ministry of Public Health. The number of tests for seven day quarantiners is one only after 5-6 days, 10 day people must do two and 14 day folk must have three. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-04-01 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post keith101 Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 I hope they are not expecting a rush of people (except maybe the Chinese) who have been fully vaccinated to come and spend their first 7 days of their holiday in lockdown . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key paragraph: Quarantine is 7 days for tourists who have been vaccinated* fully (we assume that means twice) 14 days prior to arriving in Thailand. Good news, stepping in the right direction. For the last couple of weeks the requirement was as above plus vaccination record only acceptable if vaccination occurred 90 or less from the date of arrival in Thailand. This item (90 days aspect )isn't mentioned in the order/policy released yesterday. That's good news - but perhaps it also means that the 90 days aspect was missed when they wrote the policy - hope not! Hopefully very soon all the ASQ hotels will reveal their 7 days rates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 so a family of 2 adults and one child, the adults who have been vaccinated but as no children are permitted to be vaccinated would have to stay for 10 days in Quarantine, a majority of tourists will have children so 10 days in quarantine whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guderian Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 26 new cases today, I only hope they're prepared for the 26,000 new cases that will soon become normal once they drop the quarantine requirement. They've been successful in managing the virus so far as their extremely laborious, manual track-and-trace system works very well for low numbers of infections, but once numbers in the thousands start appearing it will no longer work, the effort required means that they'll always be behind the curve and falling further behind every day. Given that the Thai national vaccination programme makes the EU one look like it's rocket-propelled, that means when the kee hits the fan in the not-to--distant future, Thailand will have nothing left to fight it with. Personally, with no private hospital that I'm aware of yet offering safe vaccines, I'm seriously thinking of locking up the house and flying back to Britain, which is now a pretty safe place, and getting safer every day, and watching the impending Thai Covid disaster from a safe distance. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 Let's face it, nearly all of us stranded outside are just going to grin and bare it and wait till October and hopefully some sort of normality if their plans work out. With constant and potential change from Thailand - and our own regions - it's not worth the hassle yet. Even the airlines are still yoyo'ing 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister MXYZPTLK Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The Devil is in the details. How many “FAKE” vaccination documents you think will be produced and how exactly does the Thai Govt expect to verify these documents? There is no universal document like a passport. It’s simply a piece of paper. Didn’t a group of Thai women and migrants sneak across the border without undergoing quarantine? So Much for Thai rules regarding safeguarding the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be confusing as it may depend on whether it actually means "and" or does it mean "or". If its the latter then based on what you've said then yes that's correct but if it's the former then it's only those approved by both which is AV and J&J.
