That's the most alcohol these tourists are going to see for a few weeks. I know right? That was the first thing that jumped out at me. But I digress, this is about repatriation - foreigners looking for their girlfriends, not holiday travellers. These guys have no clue what they are doing. It's emberassing to see the numbers so far but it's what I expected. Guess I'm laughing at the fat kid in gym class again but oh well. This is a hard thing for Thailand, and I"m sorry that the government continues to not tell the truth about tourism to its residents. There will be no meaningful tourism until vaccines come into Thailand, full stop. Sinovac won't cut it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emirates, Flydubai and some others also fly. AT one point Saudi wouldn't let you in if you had an Israeli stamp in your passport. Israel where aware of this and wouldn't put a stamp in if you requested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Halliday Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Pathetic and won't work. Just vaccinate 70% of the country and fully open to all travellers, restriction free, who have had both jabs. Its so bloody simple yet these buffoons screw it up completely. Singapore will open up restriction free within the next few weeks to all travellers who have been jabbed twice. They have stated clearly that the virus is here to stay so its time to get used to living with it. And we should all follow <deleted>. As simple as that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Phuket officials this morning, Qatar Airways Flight QR840 from Doha-Phuket is to land at 1:30pm with 136 passengers on board, El Al Israel Airlines Flight LY87 from Tel Aviv is to land at 1:45pm with 137 passengers on board, and Singapore Airlines Flight SQ736 is to arrive at 5:10pm with an estimated 100 people on board. Prime Minister Prayut is scheduled to be at Phuket airport in person to welcome the passengers arriving on the Singapore flight, Phuket officials noted. wow....

Need I go on? When are you arriving? Oh, you're in Bangkok? Had a good wine or a beer with your meal in a restaurant lately? Been for a swim in the sea, walk on a beach? Enjoy.

Indeed, simple as that, if their own population have mostly been vaccinated twice. Sadly, Thailand is not in that position, and won't be for many months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the green light Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I see picture of women with children. My inclination that these rich sheiks from the Middle East are tired of their nagging wives and children. They have just send them away to Phuket with their brother or sister and get out of their way. At least they will eat at the hotel, and go swimming and that is it. stay there and not go anywhere.. "Happy quarantine" For them, they will probably go to Europe, Spain or other countries with their "honey knowing that their wives are stuck in Phuket for 14 days. what a life when you have money and there always a fish biting on how small is your bait. 555555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraMarra Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 5 hours ago, Misterwhisper said: I just read a news report that said the first plane, with a whopping 24 "tourists" on board, just landed in Phuket. One of these "tourists" reportedly was unvaccinated. Which begs 2 questions, of course: 1 - Isn't one of the compulsory conditions of the Phuket sandbox scheme that only VACCINATED travelers are admitted? 2 - How and why did that unvaccinated person get on the plane in the first place? But to spin this further: The reported fact that at least 1 unvaccinated person was on board (and has been referred to a local hospital to receive their first shot) makes me suspect that a good proportion of these so-called "tourists" may not be "tourists" at all, but either returning Thai nationals or returning expats. Where was the plane from ? and where was the Tourist from ? or is this legitimate post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must all be a giant conspiracy using paid actors or something. Never did say that they would cancel it, just said it would not be very heavily used and well as you can see on day one I was not far off the truth. However, you still want to bait and troll so be my guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
