Documentation to prove vaccination.

Hoping that was a good thing.

Do the numb nuts really believe tourists  are going to come flooding back when the find out the have to show proof of double vaccination and also fill out forms on a Thai app, which we all no are so reliable, just to go into a restaurant to eat.  

We recently visited NYC, which has similar rules in place re having to be vaccinated to enter a restaurant.  However, the difference is that NYC has plenty of doses available, and they are specifically using this rule to incentivize people to get the jab.  We arrived unvaccinated and wanted to go to a particular restaurant that was enforcing the rule.  We went to the local govt vax site and got sorted out within an hour.  Note that NYC only requires proof of the first jab to enter restaurants (and gyms, etc); you don’t have to be ‘fully’ vaccinated.  

 

Realities of the system from our personal experience:  1) enforcement levels (actually checking vaccination cards) can vary from place to place;  2) the rule does not apply to outdoor dining, so you can still go to places that serve outdoors if you are unvaccinated;  3) some of the restaurants that we went to were using the rule as a marketing tool….we want our employees and customers to know that we are doing what we can to keep them safe(r); 4) the managers we spoke with thought the rule was much better than the alternative of potentially facing another period of shutdowns.

This is old news even if it wasn't the good Dr. has zero power to push it through prior to the Sept 1st it was brought up and shot down quickly even his peers know it isn't going to work they can't even enforce the curfew. Maybe he is trying to get attention or a promotion who knows with these guys obviously he hasn't gotten the earlier memo.

 

????  Dr. go back to signing those fake death certificates!

I applaud your bravery just for ordering Carbonara in Thailand...most cooks in the West can't get it done right 

Had the most terrible food poisoning from this dish on Phuket. Avoid at all costs sauce that is made in advance and kept ( or not) in the fridge at correct cooling levels. I have never eaten something similar since. Stick to fresh stir fry.  Another time,  mild food poisoning in Pattaya at a very nice Japanese restaurant. I could see the sliced chicken piled up on the counter and realized what had happened a few hours later. The hygiene is severely lacking in most places , the thing that horrifies me most is the serve yourself sushi ( if you can call it sushi). 

Will not happen....

MADNESS prevails! AGAIN! ????????

So, they have a whole month of freedom, with fewer vaccinated people, and promise the restaurants of 'no going back.' Then they introduce this crazy idea that most families won't be able to eat together as kids or one member hasn't had the second jab yet.

At least these Muppets have 24 days to flipflop again!

Remember: these doctors and so called experts have never been in the limelight so much, They are loving the attention and are just looking for excuses to extend their 15 mins of fame. They are loving this pandemic.

I have both jabs but if this law goes infect then I will never go eat at ANY restaurant and 90 of the restaurant will go out of business. they must see who can come up with the craziest law   

Another blow to resturants, the customers don’t have a problem they eat elswhere, but resturants are out on a lim, I couldn’t give two hoots personally:-)

If this is actually implemented and adhered to, then don't even bother opening up. No one's going to follow this nonsense.

I know this doesn't make sense at the current vaccination levels, but once thailand hits 70+% it will, and the large companies will buy into this if it allows for continuity of business and no more lockdowns.

 

Other countries implementing this have a very high acceptance rate, and also a very vocal minority who won't accept this, but are just going to have to.

CPALL CENTRAL are not going to want to have to limit the people or go through the process of saying yes you can come in no you can't.  

 

They want people in their stores so that tenants can start paying rent.

Crikey, the government must really hate restaurants and restaurant owners/staff here to want them to fail so much.    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.    

Restaurants and pubs are bad. They provide seating for people and people are bad too.

Without the alcohol it is tolerable and possibly gives less reason for conspiracy gatherings.

Of course the vaccinated are good people as they have shown their allegiance to the NWO.

 

True or not, Thailand has fallen to THE global regime.  ????

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,

In Bangkok I don't think anybody is doing it!  A couple of times I've checked my temperature and got a 'high' reading but was just ignored, so I just went in.  I've not seen anyone scan the QR code or write down their telephone number for months.

Are the self made what can buy from Pharmacy covid test allowed and trusted in Thailand or they only allow hospital's made test and ATK printed negative test result? 

Last I get result after 2-3 hours's waiting the covid antigen test (I get tested in last May 3000Baht in Bkk-Pattaya hospital) is was valid for international flight 48 hours from testing moment so is this test now from October 1, valid 7 days in Thailand?

If wanna go mall, restaurants etc places in Thailand without 2 jabs must pay test expenses weekly 3000 baht?

Yearly covid tests is 52 week x 3000Baht=156000Baht yearly. 
 

<deleted>, these people are the biggest flip flops in the world.

 

Currently only 12% of the population fully vaccinated and lets say they can hit 20% by Oct 1. ( Yes, I know it's a big stretch goal for these loonies here) 

 

That means 80% of the population at Oct 1 can not eat-in at restaurants and access all the other services they quoted. 

 

WTH!

This is the future

Many countries are now trying to come up with a way of protecting staff, where that be hospitals, restaurants, concerts or sporting events.

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.

China of about 1.5 billion people is basically cashless. Alipay etc everywhere,  face recognition etc.

Nobody pays with cash.

You'll have to show your vaccine status - two jabs - as well. If you've had Covid within the last one to three months you'll need to show proof of that to enter.

 

The three protocols will be: Covid Free Environment, Covid Free Personnel and Covid Free Customer.

Other countries seems to accept that Covid will be a part of life, just like influenza.

 

Vaccinated people are still said to be able to spread the virus, but will not get (very) sick.

 

In my modest opinion I think this will be a step back for restaurant business - more than alcohol serving  is not allowed - instead of a step forward, but that only time will show...????

Correct measures, same as in many European countries. It appears that the majority of people taking the effort of posting something here do not like this country. I'd say, accept it or live somewhere else.

And for Expats that don't live in Bangkok, Pattaya or some of the larger cities it's almost impossible to get. I've registered and got approved the first of August and still haven't heard anything

As I've mentioned in previous threads, my wife works in a Thai restaurant group in Hong Kong...which is pretty strict...but now have abandoned limited in~dining numbers, serve alchohol etc BUT all staff must be fully vaccinated (free).

Customers ? No proof of vaccination. 

And they're packed every day and NO outbreaks of covid. 

During the quiet, restrictive times months ago, the Gov paid owners 50%of their staff's wages so that they could retain staff and staff could live.

Not so generous here!

a bit OT , but locally produced AZ is recognized in some European countries (FR,DE) and in the process to be recognized by EMA and WHO (source - AZ website and FR/DE embassy).

But U.K. does not recognise Sinovac so complete waste of time for U.K. nationals wanting to return with quarantine

I lived 2.5 years in China (until 2017). I only paid in cash.

New business opportunity fake vaccine cards, I am sure restaurants, barbers...... are not going to give them a long look if at all.

I would agree with their reasoning IF people could be vaccinated. I mean people who don't want to be vaccinated should just not go to large gatherings. They will get covid and overburden the health system. Causing delays for people who need serious operations.

 

But right now its not right to make this distinction because people DONT have the choice of getting vaccinated. So first provide enough vaccines. Then put these kind of rules to work.

 

Maybe if they make it so that you need a certificate of vaccination to visit bar girls anti vaxers here would quickly be vaccinated.

You agree with the governments reasoning to make a sub class of citizens?  You would’ve fit in well as an informant to the KGB or the gestapo. Forced compliance is acceptable how?  Get the jab or you can’t work. Get the jab or you can’t leave your home. Get the jab to protect who exactly?  If you have been vaccinated and can still spread the virus, look at Israel, you could be a super spreader the same as the unvaccinated. If it works to reduce the severity of the disease and you have been jabbed what do you care about the other person?

 

 If it was about health the government would have been pushing physical fitness. We have had a year and a half to get in shape. In that time everyone could’ve lost weight and if you were serious you could be in the best shape of your life at this point.  Instead it’s been the opposite; close gyms, close parks, only have food delivery, closed pools and beaches.

Obesity seems to be the real issue with this. Maybe restaurants should put  fat assed people on a scale and when the number passes 100 kg they don’t let you in while the healthy can go eat all they want. 

 

We have been hearing this same story for the last year and a half. Save the health care system. If they haven’t made plans to expand capacity at this point they are completely inept and need to be replaced with capable people.
