They will leave BK in an entourage of black limos lead by the man himself, escorted ahead and behind by the BIB with lights flashing, side roads closed in advance while the brigade goes through. Then transferred under military and police guidance to a special ferry. Special Tuk Tuks with plastic covering will then take them to their hotels, where they will have to remain ,for several days before being allowed a complimentary bottle of Leo only to be consumed in their room.

smudger1951 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Consigning visitors to the equivalant of Alcatraz with electronic tags and mobile apps for 14 days when they have already proved they are fully vaccinated. How many will come ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingFat Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I know a couple of people where I live in the States who like me, have lived in LOS previously for many years. They have long time TGF's and want to return to LOS to visit or retire. Like me (who also wants to return to LOS for a visit), they aren't making any plans to return until at least a modest degree of sanity finds its way into the brains of Those Who (pretend to) Rule over there. I'm thinking about a year from now. I also have a long time friend who once owned a couple of hotels in the Great Sandbox and was doing good. He lost everything and is coming back to the States. To those of you still sticking it out over there. Hang in there as best you can under the circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Angus Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I have also been there lovely little place. Had apartment on beach and at night all the restaurants opened on the beach, Was cheaper to travel by ferry and more fun. Must admit room for only a limited number to the island.

CLW Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 How to get there? Parachute landing from my international flight? And while I like Ko Larn for a weekend getaway from BKK I can't imagine to stay there for 14 days. Then I'd be going to Phuket instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green light Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 very confusing!!!!!??????? you read : on one hand the Thai pseudo lockdown, increasing infection, many death, intermittent supply of vaccines, lack of a good plan to vaccinate people( many complaints), mall open till 9pm, no dine in restaurant, no massage parlors, restriction of movement, and expensive covid tests On the other, you have the pseudo opening of Thailand. a lot of paper when getting the visa, useless health insurances which does not work overseas(you must pay first), fake quarantine with forced 5-star hotel purchase , 3 expensive Covid tests, monitor devices, inability to move outside the area, and quarantine to upon returning home. They can say anything about opening of Thailand . Until the entry rules are not changed, the tourists will not come. Bangkok post opinion states Phuket the "prison paradise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on them because they plan to open up despite the obvious danger? I would also like to point a finger at those either unable, or those blocking vaccine supplies to the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
