Thailand still on England's red list

Featured Replies

Just read Sky News, it would appear that Thailand remains on the red list, although they have relaxed some requirements in other areas, don't think I'll be going home anytime soon ????

I suspect there's some politics involved ...... if a UK citizen wants to visit Thailand, they need 15 days in quarantine.

It is utterly irrational.  Thailand has a slightly larger population than the UK, but:

 

UK had 32,651 new cases yesterday; Thailand 14,555.

UK has total of 7,371,301 cases; Thailand 1,448,792.

UK has had 134,983 deaths; Thailand 15,124.

 

On top of that, researchers reported that in Bangkok 99.7% of residents wore masks correctly, and only 0.02% did not wear masks, whilst in the UK people have largely abandoned mark wearing yet gather in large crowds.

 

In short, Thailand is doing far better than the UK in managing the virus situation.  If double-vaccinated people visiting the UK from Thailand are considered too dangerous, then logic would only dictate that the UK government should ban all people living in the UK from going abroad.

 

Utterly irrational.
