Popular Post PST Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 If there's no 7 day stay needed in an sha plus hotel, but pcr test is still needed on arrival, how will they monitor people who are returning to their homes?, as there's no way they are going to sit in their own house for 8 hours whilst waiting for the results!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just cannot work! Or perhaps one member of the group will break one of their high heels, the end of the world as we know it for the whole group. Perhaps they could all walk with no shoes to show compassion and togetherness. But I'm sure TAT would give them free flip flops so they can at least walk to the bus. Or perhaps if only one tests positive the authorities will just ignore it rather than see tears. Edited October 14, 2021 by scorecard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The living standard in some countries is very low and other countries are so small..

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. and nearly all of the 32% currently vaccinated got sinovac which means by now they may as well consider them as unvaccinated 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomyami Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 for my 2 cents Ireland 90% fully vaxed highest in EU seeing some on that list way down. most going will be single travellers expats returning, families are unlike to bring there young to a 33% vaxed country. so pickings will be slim, come jan probably have to incentify travellers COE is a high enough barrier for many that will impact numbers surely they know or are they that thick/stupid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
