PumpkinEater Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I should have taken a picture of my Grandsons soccer practice this morning in the good ole USA. No masks anywhere... All venues OPEN AND I could have had a beer while sitting watching him practicing! The pandemic is OVER....with the vaccinations. My normal fall retirement travel to The LOS will not happen if I have to quarantine to get in! The one last year nearly killed me sitting in that room (and paying for it) like a prisoner. There are many closer areas to visit this winter. St Lucia, Mexico, Costa Rica...etc. All allowing vaccinated folks in with very little hassle. I figure at least $4000 USD to enter (and quarantine) in LOS! Get the country vaccinated, open up and stop this insanity! I know you all font want to hear it, but is IS so nice to be back to normal life....without that stinking mask! Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in one of the "red" states where vaccination uptake has been poor, expect variant "D" or some yet unknown variant to wreak havoc.

Stargeezr Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Canada is opening up in some of the provinces, and guess what. Where the restaurants and bars are open people can drink alcohol, beer, wine, whiskey, or what ever. I will be bleeped if I am going half way around the world for a Might clause. Try again Government and TAT of Thailand. You can do much better. Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingFat Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 "Tourists might be able to drink alcohol in restaurants" And tourists might be able to recognize that Thailand is NOT ready for anything resembling a tourist destination any time soon.

My town opened up in September LAST YEAR as cases and deaths dropped dramatically BEFORE the vaccines became available. What baffles me is the EU and Canada supposedly have robust socialized health care...yet they sure are slow to get their population vaccinated and their countries opened up.

nkg Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 It's very generous of Thailand to let us foreigners drink in restaurants. We should be giving something back. How about a 500% tax on all drinks bought by foreigners? That would make me feel even more welcome. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps getting rid of the wristband, making folks feel like a criminal, also would help on improving the interest...???? Hotel bookings of 20 percent and a total of 100 airline seats booked on combined THAI flights for first week, according to other news articles today in Thaivisa, won't help much to the nation's lack of tourist income. You forgot to mention that ' according to some previous news' you might get hotel rooms at 1 USD / night.555555 Ladies and massage included...???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Hotels 20% booked. Of the 30% compared to 2019 that are open? Hard to believe this. I will wait to read about how they issue an admission of this failed idea. If it does fail after sending all the shots to Phuket rather than HCW, and at risk people the minions may be like a kicked hornets nest Edited June 20, 2021 by Elkski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree tourists shouldn’t travel this year, unless it domestic travel But lots and lots of people THINK its safe, so who am I to criticise them for booking trips to Phuket People actually this pandemic is over, they think being vaccinated has killed the virus. ???????? In my opinion nobody has received an actual vaccine yet, we’ve all received a suppressant only It sounds way better to get vaccinated rather than take a suppressant Edited June 20, 2021 by bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To enter Canada without quarantine one needs to be either a vaccinated Canadian citizen or a vaccinated permanent resident to Canada and its not the WHO vaccination approved that counts - no its the more restrictive Canada approved vaccination list that matters to qualify for no quarantine. Further, the citizenship/residency requirement alone makes it more strict than Phuket for entry as anyone not a Canadian nor a permanent resident has more of an issue to enter Canada.
