ezzra Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Time will tell, it will be very interesting to see who and how many will come, i myself will be very interested to see the type of tourists who are so desperate to run the gauntlets just to come to Phuket... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thailand Posted June 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2021 Guessing around a hundred middle aged foreigners returning to their families. A few Chinese and Russian business persons looking to carpetbag. And maybe some "tourists" who want to see if the restrictions are really true. In all, not a lot but purely guesswork. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertson468 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Again, an announcement that doesn't cover all the bases. If Tourists intend to go to Koh Samui are they going to be picked up by a designated vehicle in Bangkok and taken to ASQ on Koh Samui? It might be that something has been lost in translation, but the Government should by now have competent English Translators to do a acceptable translation. Sadly this article leaves more questions than answers.....again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very frw But foreigners entering Thailand for other reasons (live there, join family etc) will likely avail of it since it certainly beats 14 days confined to a single hotel room. Their numbers aren't large, of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Can't see why anybody would risk a positive Wuflu test on arrival at a Government Approved Quarantine Facility and 14 days incarceration costing 500k bht. Just because you are immunised does not preclude a positive test on arrival! Edited June 19, 2021 by chilly07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they will need a local SIM card in any case? Unless they have worldwide data roaming and don’t mind paying those charges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting will this slow down the Russian arrivals - No Sputnick 5 vaccine approved, by the Thai officialdum? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
