Popular Post wensiensheng Posted September 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2021 So the proposal is; if you are resident in Thailand, are fully vaccinated, take a test that is negative and register your phone on a tracking app, you can enter Phuket. not exactly the most lax conditions. Why not just do it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nobodysfriend Posted September 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2021 To only let in people that can prove vaccination or a negative test is designed to protect Phuket's population from the Virus . But at 200 daily infections , the Virus arrived in Phuket already . Do not see much sense in further restricting the access to Phuket .... ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Just keep in mind, and acknowledge that the local market, is at least as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than the international market. It is time to just get rid of all restrictions, and let the Thai people get back to work. Double vaccines, multiples covid negative tests, and thanks so much for coming. Have a great time in our devastated nation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose is not actually to eradicate the virus , it is to reduce its spreading and like many countries to open slowly the activities , so Covid test and certicate vaccination are the only way to control this pandemic up to now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gim12 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 if they do relax requirements for domestic entry then it would seem they will have to either have those same reduced restrictions on international tourists, or, have a convuleted explanation why there are 2 different requirements. although, i guess they could just shrug and continue milking the foreign atm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, many people do not have a choice and for the moment have to take what they can get. Anything is better than nothing and at some point the Thai government will start to distribute vaccines that are better. I understand that they have already ceased purchasing Sinovac?
