The Hammer2021 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 4 minutes ago, ThailandRyan said: From the article in the OP. So you can read it I will paste part of it for you here to help out. "Thailand, a previous country on the list, has been REMOVED, despite rumors earlier in the day (which TPN media did NOT report on) that it wasn’t being removed. This means visitors from the UK can now travel to Thailand without a mandatory quarantine upon return, only having to take a Covid-19 test on the day after their arrival back into the country. Only seven countries will remain on the UK red list from a previous list of 54. The seven countries that will remain on the red list are Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Venezuela. This will be effective from Monday, October 11th, 2021, according to the UK government." I posted that link last night!..But there is no link to vaccine acceptance.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBF Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Just now, The Hammer2021 said: I have looked. I started a similar thread last night but There is NO confirmation that AZ administered in Thailand will be accepted in the UK nor is the administration of evidence of having received a vaccination been outlined..Instead of trying to be clever why not provide a link? You said "Where is the source for this?", meaning this thread. If that's not what you meant, kindly make your questions clear. And the answer is still the same - go to the UK Govt website as I referenced and search for what you want. If it's not there, it's not true and just journalists trying to be clever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to do some looking at the threads I am afraid.

The complete guidance can be read by clicking right here. Thailand Will be added to this list of countries and territories with approved proof of vaccination 4am Monday 11 October. If you arrive in England before that date you must follow the rules for people who are not fully vaccinated. If you arrive after that, you can use a vaccine certificate to prove your vaccination status. This country is currently on the red list. If you have been in a red list country or territory in the 10 days before you arrive in England, you must follow the red list rules.

Anyway another one who gets a kick out of calling Thailand a third world country? The UK government made an absolute pigs ear of handling the pandemic which gave it one of the worst infection and death rates in the world. It tore through the country and the government did nothing, allowing people to come in without tests or checks for over a year after the pandemic started ripping through the country. Appalling mis-management that cost well over 100,000 lives. Thailand did much better closing borders, locking down and encouraging / enforcing mask wearing. For the best part of a year we were pretty normal here until the Delta variant came. Anyway Thailand was, and still is, safer. The UK did do well on vaccine roll out. The UK did not donate vaccines - they sold them. A donation is free. They just sold them without profit and called it a donation. That is not a donation. But yeah, the UK is a glorious first world nation with streets paved with gold and everyone having a great old time, keep believing! Donations are free from the UK, they are donating 100 million with over 80% going to covax and the remainder to individual country donations as it did to Thailand. The cost for this is being covered by the UK Official Development assistance budget. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AZ vaccine was sold at cost around the world. A non-profit making vaccine. The rest of your post is equally uneducated and wrong. The UK has a far older and more vulnerable population than Thailand. Lives in totally different urban settings during winter and autumn. Thailand does 40,000 tests a day, compared to the UK's 1 million. No one believes Thailand's figures. Yes, if you own assets in the UK, you can turn it into gold.

Better read the article again and then my post a few above to get the right information. I think you read an old article, or your thinking that from now until the 11th of October they will still have to quarantine, which is correct. Yet starting next week fully vaccinated with AZ from Thailand and your good to go. Edited October 8, 2021 by ThailandRyan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Senior Player Posted October 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2021 I agree with @smedly. Until Thailand drops all the money gouging red tape and hoop jumping, it won't generate that much interest for the UK as a whole. Apart from the usual die hard, desperate to return types, this won't do anything to tempt your average seasoned traveller. It's now been close to 2 years since I last travelled to Thailand, but I won't be packing my bags or booking my flights anytime soon. Not only is the costly quarantine procedure, tests and Covid insurance still in place, but what's actually open to enjoy once I've been released from my holding pen and how will I be treated when I finally emerge? Realistically I'm looking at next year, but even then it's going to take some convincing and big incentives before I'll feel comfortable with the idea. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadilo Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Whichever way you look at it, it’s good news for those who want to travel again and for those Thais who have been seriously hit by lack of tourism. Would not be surprised to see more restrictions lifted in the coming weeks in response to this decision in order to take full advantage of the UK relaxation. Plenty of time before the Xmas/NY peak to make the changes, which was always the main goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could possibly be correct, but as of the 11th Thailand will not be on the redlist. I am not so sure they would play the game of backdating the ten days since the country will be off of the redlist, however I await to hear from someone who arrives after the 11th from here to see if they were forced into quarantine.
