vaccinated with one of the approved vaccines in either the UK, Europe or the US, not Thailand, if in Thailand still do your quarantine in the UK, as by the rules you will be classed as not vaccinated

We are talking about not arriving from a Red list country.

If you arrive in Dubai from Thailand you'll have to stay 10 days before heading for the UK.  As UAE is on the amber list it's home quarantine unless vaccinated in the UK, US or EU in which case there's no quarantine on arrival.

Yes but: US vaccinated travellers have to prove residency in the US and UK, US and EU vaccinated travellers entering from Amber List countries will still have to provide negative pre-departure and Day 2 tests.

after staying 10 days in that country, as here people are wanting to return to the UK from Thailand, so a stop over must be that for at least 10 days, as per another poster posted

I believe the reasoning behind the decision to move Thailand to the UK Red list is due to the slow vaccine program.

Its not due to slow vaccination,its due to the number of cases and deaths.

Aside from low vaccination levels and high infection levels, Thailand also went red because of the lack of variant sequencing.

Where have you guys got these different reasons for the change from?  I don't know the newpapers' sources, but they indicate the change was down to the high levels of Beta variant which is at odds with all the above.

From the government travel update when they made the change. 

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/international-travel-update-new-destinations-added-to-government-travel-lists 

 

"Thailand and Montenegro will be added to the red list from 4am on Monday 30 August 2021, reflecting the increased case rates in these countries and the higher risk that travel from these countries poses to UK public health. The high rates combined with lower levels of published genomic surveillance in Thailand and Montenegro than other countries mean that an outbreak of a new variant or existing variants of concern (VOC) or variants under investigation (VUI) cannot be easily identified before it is imported and seeded across the UK."

Hi rick

Unfortunately, Now its going on the red list, 

Its worse because you will now have to go in hotel quarantine regardless.

Thailand will be on the UK Red List effective 4.00am 30 August.

Even if he's been in Dubai, will he still have to do hotel quarantine if his vaccine wasn't done in the UK / Europe / US?

He's not vaccinated. He's going to the UK to get vaccinated as he can't get vaccinated in the Phillipines.

I recently arrived back in the UK from Germany and I am vaccinated from the Americans with a CDC card. I had to have it added to an EU vaccination certificate by a recognised Pharmacy in Germany.
