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!

They will just tell you to get lost if you become a nuisance, persist and they will force you.

How long before the big money people that own the malls start screaming and this changes.

So if I understood well a family with 2 kids want to go to a restaurant... Father has got 2 jabs, mother 1 and the kids nothing. They can enter the restaurant after filling in  a paper, and mother and kids have to do rapid test to show that they are Covid free. Father has to show his vaccination paper or app and with the costs of about 1000THB for the tests and the personal information they atre allowed to go in and eat... My appetite is over already..because it will the raise the bill with 1000THB for nothing and I even can't drink a glass of wine or beer with my food.. Better can go before 1 October than there is nothing required

What's the betting they still don't allow alcohol with a meal even after the all the hoops the restaurant/customer has to jump through after this.

A good point, with all this testing and vaccination requirements for staff and customers there's no reason why all the bars, pubs and maybe even nightclubs shouldn't open up again.

 

I won't be holding my breath on that.

Double vaccinated?  With what vaccines, LOL!  Where are they?  

Is this how the Government creates jobs? Almost zero tourist about so now we are back to take away if that's allowed.

How can anyone actually prove when they took the antigen test??

Yes its too early but the government is between a rock and a hard place. They are hugely unpopular and businesses and people are suffering. So they need to open up. But like you said there are far too many cases to do so. So they do something that is impractical to act as if they are doing something. Just window dressing.

The often used 'discourage and deter' method whereby something is allowed but only after jumping through many hoops.

Just tattoo the info on your forehead as well as a QR code they can scan as they take your temperature......starting to believe they truly do not want folks to move about yet, or maybe they do and they are scared.  How are the restaurants and the other locales supposed to verify the info you provide, unless that is what this new wonder app is for.  Of course, how long will it last.  Walked into the mall yesterday and the people ahead were just walking in without scanning the QR code and the security folks did not even make a peep, very few signing the papers on the table either.

This morning I went to a local Lotus Lek, the lady in front of me walked straight in the door, past the temperature test and gel station. not even looking for anything for testing.

Local restaurants will be the same, they are all getting tired of this game, whats the difference between walking into a shop, walking into a wet market... why single-out restaurants?

As far as I can see, me and the wife are the only people who seem to fill the form in on entry AND check our temp AND take a squirt of gel.

 

Most Thais seem to do none or maybe one of the three, but never all three,

How about official certificate of vaccine from foreign countries ? Will Thailand accept it for tourists?

How about vaccinations for Thai residents, so they can eat in their own country.

Pretty Thai waitress or I am not going in.

I was thinking creating jobs for the elderly.

I wonder what will happen if you show them a vaccination certificate from Europe. Will they accept it? Can they even read it?

Put my name down....happy to work with pretty waitresses.

as long as they just skip the freaking face masks and open the gyms. However, I will never get this ridiculous bad vaccines anyway.

Well I will be okay after i have my second vaccine

But my wife is still waiting to get her first 

So we won't be visiting any of the restaurants asking for certificates or what ever

Can't fix stupid.

What proof of vaccination can be used for those vaccinated abroad? I have a vaccination certificate from france as well as the EU vacation certificate. Are those of any ise in Th?

I imagine one would be issued on entry to the country.

 

I wonder what happens when the shots expire, already happening in some places. It's not a do it once and forget about it issue.

She wants my QR code as proof, then I will demand proof that she is an actual waitRESS...

Already happening in Israel. The vaccinated people got a 'green passport' (whatever that is) to enter restaurants, etc., but have been told that it will expire 6 months after their second jab...

Funny the best restaurant in the small town where I live is run by a small Thai guy. So if 4 big guys come to his shop an sit down, [He's should tell them let me see your certificates or leave] Yea Right!!!

caught short, forgot to wear it next to the yellow star?
feel free, use mine.

can I get some idea why expats retire to Thailand, even remaining during covid, in dirty congested dangerous cities, still tourist areas,  when idyllic rural / island life with great weather, housing & full services available ?

I loved bangkok / pattaya pre- covid but only for 3-6 days for Sukh. Road Nightlife, Walking Street & Old Culture.

but seriously, apart from those temporary attractions, just specifically WHY ?

no “rip off” bs either please……or “I didnt like Phuket (prefer Pattaya)”irrational  nonsense.

I see quite a few, now deceased people, have said this.

No problem. If they do not accept my certificate from Europe, I'll show them my amulet as a proof I'm safe to enter.
