Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 File photo People wishing to take a flight in Thailand will need to be fully vaccinated or provide a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 72 hours before they are due to fly, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has confirmed. 'Fully vaccinated' is deemed as having received two doses of a vaccine approved for use in Thailand, with the exception of the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. For those who are not fully vaccinated, they will need to show a negative test result from either an ATK or PCR test no more than 72 hours before flying. Anyone who feels sick or unwell is urged not to travel. Airlines have been instructed to adjust ventilation systems and ensure that all screening measures are strictly observed. Any passenger who fails to pass the necessary screening, such as reporting a high temperature, could be refused boarding.

Popular Post starky Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 Soooo..does that mean no pcr test required for the vaccinated entering Thailand? And what about airlines I think most of them will still require it 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Interesting times ahead as far as AZ vaccination goes. Up until this article popped you could still eter Phuket and even fly with only having a single jab of the AZ vaccine. Elsewhere it has become either a hit or miss as far as flying while unvaccinated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqwakvfr Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 “Does a US CDC vaccination card qualify as proof of vaccination?” I will find out in about 24 hours at BKK. It should be because the Thai Consulate accepted it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbko Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 FWIW, I was in my local Topps supermarket last night and there at the check-out counter they were selling these take home ATK kits for 99b.

Popular Post IamNoone88 Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 It is still confusing giving the various local demands for domestic airport arrivals. It should all been streamlined across the country for every city/destination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sentence reads backwards pretty well too; A vaccinated person catches covid, love the science. I'm guessing an asymptomatic vaccinated person is less likely to spread the virus thru coughing and sneezing and such. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It's little contradictory. because we ofte read that even you are vaccinated you can still carry and spread the virus, but you won't get seriously sick, or not sick at all. So if that is correct, then being vaccinated is no guarantee for not spreading the virus. So only non vaccinated people will be stopped from carrying the virus on board an airplane, or is the theory about vaccinated people as virus carriers false...???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Netherlands we have an online code too that cant be faked. (or is hard to be faked as all things can be faked given enough resources). Maybe its the difference between big and small countries ? I mean maybe its just hard for the US because of state laws and privacy to get something like that in a database. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me clarify the mystery for you: It is true that a vaccinated person, if infected, can spread the virus. But, a vaccinated person is significantly less likely to be infected in the first place, compared to an unvaccinated person. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California has a database for vaccination and provides a QR code showing vaccination status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
