Once out of quarantine, can’t go to a bar,  must be back before curfew, can’t wear sunscreen so can’t go out doing things in the sun during the day, why come at all?

No sunscreen due to possible harm to coral reefs?

 

Cannot be worn anywhere? Or cannot be worn at the beach?

 

Is that the rule for the entire country or only certain areas?

What don’t they understand that there needs to be no quarantine requirements for vaccinated people if they want tourists to come back. 
If they don’t want tourists just <deleted> say it. Going all this talk about tourists coming blah blah then making/keeping restrictions in place so they won’t come. 

Yes agree....and suggest that the establishment come up with a realistic date to open the country...and its NOT next week...or even next month...maybe aim for Thai New Year...Songkran....

There are sunscreens without the harmful chems, that you can buy before coming.

Vaccination does not stop infection or transmission, people who are vaccinated can still become infected, to not test would be foolhardy

That is a hugely dumbed down and oversimplified binary response…

 

Vaccination cuts down infection, the severity of infection and transmission. 
 

Vaccination with vaccines reported to have a greater efficacy improve this to the degree that with sufficient numbers (percentages of a population) vaccinated with an effective vaccine testing may not be necessary at all.

 

It is at this stage we move on with life and handle Covid-19 as we do other respiratory illnesses. 

 

It seems you have read RJRS' comment a little bit to fast. Look at the last part of his paragraph.

It still could work.

 

All single men, vaccinated, 14days in full quarantine, 5 massage girls on duty 24/24 plus free beer .

Most of them never see the beach or something else than their local bar.

 

For un-vaccinated single men, full quarantine for 3 weeks and same freebies as above.

 

There would be thousands of men, willing to sign up.

I have no desire to book a very expensive flight -- which will probably have the flight times changed 2 or 3 times -- have to stay in some crappy hotel, and pay for it, organise the required insurance, visa, and all documentation required -- just to check on our apartment and see mother-in-law!

 

Visit a country that has yet to vaccinate 50% of the population -- and restrictions on what businesses are open -- and possible travel restrictions being imposed whilst there?  Not likely!

I know right?  I don't understand these people that want to holiday in Thailand right now.  Nobody is coming.  Look at the numbers!

Why are Thais, the great majority who have only 1 or even no vaccinations not given the same treatment as the FULLY vaccinated foreign tourists.

 

They are far more likely to have Covid and pass it on.

 

I read the other paper in the mornings and there are still over 2,xxx cases daily but NONE of them seem to be foreign tourists. They are mostly Thai plus foreign workers if they can be found and blamed.

The (supposedly powerful) Thai army leaders seem to be some of the weakest, least courageous, fearful and most paranoid men on the planet. They are an abomination. A boil on the face of the nation, wreaking havoc with the economy and destroying lives.

Perhaps they will elect a proper government next time around.

 

They get zero sympathy from me.

You get what you vote for and you absolutely deserve whatever that brings.

Yes, newest stupid law. 100,000 baht fine. Many of the banned ingredients you can't identify in Thai script on a thai bottle of sunscreen anyway.

Cheaper for your family to get skin cancer and treated in your home country later.

"Halving" obviously means something else in these parts.

10 and 14 days refers to those unvaccinated. The halving refers to those vaccinated and although not explicitly stated should mean 7 days.

Will make absolutely zero difference for the tourism. Even one single day of quaranten is a deterrent. And even if they would remove the quaranten completely, am certain they'll keep the multiple PCR tests and the 100.000usd insurance, which many other attractive destinations do not demand. 

No, Its quite obvious that the Thai tourism is and will be dead as a dodo for a foreseeable future. 

That is what you guys said about the sandbox, there was a good size crowd who came to be stuck on a island for what 14 days. You guys never get it right.
