sapson Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thais are at more risk of covid from their fellow untested Thais in the local 7/11 than from a tourist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeijoshinCool Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 . Apparently, all of these jabbering daily announcements are given by people who have never read Mark Twain..... “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drenddy Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Mai dee. TAT will need to revise their forecast. From 10 zillions THB to 5 zillions THB, if only 1 PCR for tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we want to be safe or sorry? It means they get infected locally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only possible objection I can see to this logic is that you might argue that there’s a small risk of an arriving passenger introducing a new strain of virus to Thailand. I understood it as FINALLY someone realised them 3 pcr tests are major drawback for incoming tourism. Not only price, but whole procedure when for 2 weeks straight someone holding ur balls whispering to ur ear "there is a chance i might screw ur whole vacation" and that someone is not a cute ladyboy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly ???????????????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your getting warmer ???? When you get to visitors can fly in with a visa period then my wife & I will return to our Thai home. Till then we are fine where we are in the free world Yes we are vaccinated & to be honest we mainly got vaccinated as we figured it would be required to return to our Thai home So we wait & while we would like to go now as this is our usual time to spend 3 months in our home there. Sadly we will likely skip another year same as last year. It is what it is but lets be honest for most of us the juice is just not worth the squeeze Edited September 15, 2021 by meechai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco100 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I would suggest to eliminate the COE at first . Tourist has to have 2 vaccine and a 72 h negative covid test and that's it . This COE is a big headache . Make it less complicate with some apps to register at check n go . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 USD 450 on testing - add quite a bit on the travel budget - me thinks. My piece of advice is, go elsewhere for the time being until they made up their minds, treat and charge equally, do away with some seriously ridiculous rules and laws segregating the holy locals from the dirty alien. Over time they will have to realize the word "globalization" and that Thailand, contrary to their belief and what they are being told, is not the centre of the universe - just yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However no country will reach 100% vax, as children under twelve can become infected, and transmit, and all adults will never be vaxxed for many reasons, so the chances for the risks from the vaxxed passengers is very low.
