That will be enough to kill the idea of returning home to get vaccinated for many people. Everyone genuinly afraid of covid took action already. They flew in and got their shots already. Whats left are just the spineless whiners. The eternal victims of 'the system'. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BobinBKK Posted July 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 When the Thai government finally admits to the Phuket Sandbox being a complete failure and the further collapse of their tourism industry, how much do you want to bet that they us this as one of many excuses? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Heng Posted July 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 Wonder if the US will follow suit. Travel planning now certainly does have an edgy feel. Certainly more exciting than worrying about tight connection times and fresh snowfall. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough to rent a place, You can try a holiday rental, usually 1 week minimum, but some are flexible. It is not easy to rent a place short term.

abrahamzvi Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 4 hours ago, smedly said: not sure about that if they are fully vaccinated maybe someone could answer that It states quite clearly that fully vaccinated people are allowed entry to the EU. People who entered Thailand for the Phuket sandbox had to be fully vaccinated. It therefore follows that such people will have no difficulty to return to their homes in the EU countries.
