For everywhere but Phuket.  Unfortunately they have painted themselves into a very tight corner and they will have to see it through no matter what the consequences will be.  It is sad to think of how things were handled so differently just over a year ago and to where we are now, a 180 degree turn, with minor and partial lockdowns.  Still waiting to hear the fallout from the BMA, after all it is Sunday and most are probably still sleeping in after partying last night in their Government houses.  Fiddling while Rome is burning and the peasants are ransacking France getting ready to use the guillotine.

That's what happens when you run out of money...

Unless the while EU and UK accept the Chinese jabs, Thais may well find themselves shut out of some euro travel even when they do consider themselves a green country

I don’t know about other EU countries but The Netherlands considers Thailand still a safe country. A Thai or foreigner (regardless of vaccination status) in Thailand can visit The Netherlands for any purpose. No tests before or after flights are required, nor any quarantine or isolation necessary.

According to another poster Thailand has been determined to be a green area for travel to the EU, funny thing they have it backwards.

"Backwards" is distorted perspective. 

Most of the ME countries are listed red by the UK, including Qatar & UAE, which means you cannot transit to the UK without mandatory government quarantine, irrespective of what list Thailand puts them on, or how backward you think it is.

That is as Amazing as Amazing Thailand. Thailand on the Netherlands green list and yet the U.K. who have administered over 40 million vaccines to it's population are still under quarantine rules, ?????

Unsubstantiated speculation.

There is no global agreement on vaccination recognition, just a hotch potch of schemes that are being reviewed prior to debate. The EU scheme is ready to be introduced on July 1st, the UK cannot make up their mind and the US will accept US approved vaccine or any approved by WHO

Obviously you believe no chance whatsoever the US policy will become the global standard.

 

Concerning recognition of vaccination schemes and vaccine types, Germany and Israel accept only those vaccine types in incoming travelers that are also administered to residents. The United States accepts those administered in the country as well as those approved by WHO. Seychelles accepts any vaccine approved in emitting countries of incoming travelers. There was no data on which vaccine types and vaccination schemes Bahrain, France, and the United Kingdom require for incoming travelers.

Rather than just listening to the governments telling us to get vaccinated as this will lead us out of lockdown, look at the figures that are already out there.

 

UK is near the top of the list with over 60% of adult population with two jabs now and we are seeing higher and higher rate of infections

 

Thailand has very low output of vaccines yet has much lower daily numbers than countries with much higher vaccination rates.

 

Nobody can make sense of these figures let alone make policy that relates to this virus.

 

There's absolutely no promotion of any treatment for this virus? The only option is vaccine!

 

With out looking too much into what an absolute con job the pharmacutical companies and WHO are doing with the governments waiting for their next bit of 'guidance'

They haven't run out of money, they just don't want to spend it on people with low sakdina scores.

In the most recent list, Thailand has included itself as 'high risk' country, along with the likes of India, Brazil and the Philippines.

That will be adjusted again very soon no doubt.

Just heard they'll make restaurants go back to take away and delivery only in the Bangkok area starting tomorrow and forbid any kind of indoor activities (theaters, fitness, sports...). Don't know if it is true but if so, it would last for a month... We're really not toward the end of the tunnel...

 

They take things more seriously but again will keep damaging the already half dead local economy.
