Popular Post webfact Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 Picture: Daily News Daily News reported that nationals of up to 27 countries could be allowed to enter Thailand without having to quarantine. ASEAN NOW has also been told that 20 countries could be on the list. PM Prayuth Chan-ocha said Monday that the CCSA was expected to confirm 10 countries including the US, UK, Germany, Singapore and China were on the list to be announced today. But now the Thai media is saying this could be wider than expected come November 1st. A second stage is January 1st. They reported that the PM no longer wants to wait for virus numbers in Thailand top come down or for enough people in the country to be vaccinated. Three stipulations for visitors will be having had two jabs of vaccine, RT-PCR tests before and after arrival and it only applies to air passengers (no road or sea passengers included). The list is made up by analysing data and information from the last two weeks of Covid-19 stats, International Health Regulations 2005 and the GCI Global Advisory Council or Global Covid-19 Index. Twenty seven countries satisfy these criteria: Andorra, Australia, Bahrain, Czech Republic, Dominica, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao, Malta, Moldova, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Qatar, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, Uruguay, Barbados, China and Croatia. Germany qualifies as a medium risk country because of the number of vaccinations done there. The UK and the US are high risk but also qualify because of the number of vaccinations done in those nations. At a meeting held in Hua Hin yesterday about that resort's reopening ASEAN NOW was told that 20 countries would be on the non-quarantine list.

Foreign people are not the threat against Thailands Covid-19 recovery. Almost every country they are thinking of letting in has a higher percentage of vaccinated population. The problem is with the domestic situation i the country, that officials seems to be extremely uncapable of dealing with. On the other hand, that´s what happens when you only focus on Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya. Morons! The rest of the country have people that needs to be vaccinated too. 27 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fail that test and you are in a world of hurt. Surely unnecessary anyway if you are vaccinated and have a negative test on departure. 21 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 Well if the PM cannot wait, it must be done. After all, it's all about what the PM wishes and does not wish to wait for. If the PM is happy, Thailand is happy, right? Seriously though, if Thailand wants to wait for zero Covid before opening up they better have a 5 year furlough plan ready for the millions of people that will be out of work. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efficient is the last word i would use about Thailand's vaccine deployment. It's about 6 months to a year behind the rest of the world. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino3 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Has there been any direct discussion regarding children that are yet to be approved to receive the vaccine? As they may not be approved prior to November 1, then they shall be required to quarantine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
