In future if that requires apps or whatever I simply will skip it. Many open air restaurants in my vicinity. This is just another bs announcement. Perhaps in the near future restaurant staff will just decline foreigners entry to restaurants: "Foreigner cannot! Too many problems with vaccination check..."

wensiensheng Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The authorities just don’t seem to understand that vaccination is no guarantee whatsoever of a Covid free environment, Covid free personnel, or Covid free customers. Vaccines are not primarily designed to stop someone catching Covid, although it is a necessary by product that 50% efficacy is required for approval. Vaccines are designed to stop serious illness. just as the temperature bleep machines at most shopping outlets achieve next to nothing because of the number of asymptomatic cases, so a vaccination certificate will not achieve a Covid free customer or environment. Hence only recently the Covid czar was musing about learning to live with Covid. this is another blind alley just like the hunt for unicorn foreign tourists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wensiensheng Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 It seems this is for restaurants in deep red zones. On the assumption that the Covid situation is improving and will continue to improve, presumably deep red zones will eventually become red, then orange and so on. Maybe by October there will be no deep red zones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBath Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 They would never be able to enforce these stupid protocols. This yet another whacky scheme that makes no sense, especially if you consider that vaccinated people can still spread and contract covid - so what is the point? A real “shot in the arm” for malls and restaurants…???????????? I’ll bet these business owners will enjoy mulling over how many fewer customers they would have under such a ridiculous plan.

Where we are we must show an QR code to enter the mall, so this sort of thing is coming worldwide. Paying for something electronic is unfortunately the way forward, like it or lump people, complain about it, but get on with it. Cashless payments are the only the way forward for those who love control.. Having no options but cashless payments is a very bad thing for everyone else..... 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and this is exactly why I believe an impending economic and political disaster of massive proportions is heading Thailand's way.

Jimbo2014 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Serious question - What about children under 18? There is currently no way for most of them to get near a vaccination - does that mean we leave the kids in the car? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKBike09 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This will be introduced. As with many other legal requirements in Thailand, it will not be enforced, or only for a very brief period of time. However government will be able to say "it's not our fault if people break the rules". And from time to time, the authorities will raid some hapless restaurant and fine staff and patrons for breaking the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bundooman Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 Well, it works two ways. On entry to the restaurant, when the restaurant demands to see your vaccine credentials, demand to see theirs at the same time; The owner's, waitresses, cleaners and the chef's vaccine documentation. Then is the time to produce yours! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
