kick off event.

Geezer

Starting to think my little inoculation card from Walmart will fall apart by time this plan is put into action.

The association can meet and fantasize as much as it wants... The fact is quarantine will remain for vaccinated tourists !

 

That's the lastest "CCSA proposal", from sub committee etc.

The high season is already dead "on arrival". One more time.

 

Airlines companies understood it recently.

 

The hotels still live in hope-lalaland.

They're talking specifically about the much-discussed and much-delayed "Pattaya Move On" sandbox scheme, not general entry of travelers. Different rules, assuming it ever comes to fruition.

Get it laminated.

 

Your going to need it for even the most basic things like eating at restaurants, malls, domestic travel.

 

You don't want to end up going to Khao San road to get another one.

No idea why they discuss when they are not the ones deciding

1st of November 2022. If they are lucky.

I certainly wouldn't bother doing anything until the 1 Nov. 

Contact a Thai Embassy/Consulate after that date for real updates and changed policies. 

 

Not gonna received any confirmed or detailed info from officialdom or the media - as they've all been wishy-washy from the start. 

The only thing that is known: As of 1 Oct quarantine [and all the frills] has been reduced to 7 days. As of 1 Nov quarantine [and all the BS] is lifted. Maybe.
