Open up to the entire world, double vaxxed, PCR 72 hours before arriving. No quarantine no SHA sh#t no nothing. Ohhh and open up Thailand ie nothing closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's hard to understand for Westerners because it looks like you are talking about covid 24/7. But I see in Russia covid hype is gone already and people just live their lives. I guess we never reach even 50% of vaccination with any vaccines. If only Putin forces us ???? So bye bye Amazing Thailand ???? Really?

Covid insurance will still be required for all those already vaccinated. C.O.E. = Thailand Pass new name same games. Anyone who believed the PM a few days ago is a fool. How about those people who stay here, are vaccinated, Covid-free but would like to travel abroad ? They might have preconditions that would deny insurance companies insure them for this Covid 100K Insurance, thus they are unable to return ? Preconditions have been made a criteria for prioritizing vaccinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade didn’t say that infections were low in Russia, he just said that Russians are not SCARED. He also implied that Putin might force Russians to be vaccinated, which is hinted at in the article whose link you posted. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingRoundTheWorld Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 6 hours ago, Swiss1960 said: Just wondering how they intend to solve the latest idea of a 1-day quarantine an PCR test, if tourists REALLY arrive in large numbers... imagine all the hotels who will have to accommodate thousands of tourists for 1 night only with all the cleaning requirements that the current covid situation requires for them... The only ones booking 1-day stays would be expats and others who have a permanent accommodation in Thailand already. Actual tourists would probably book at least a few days as it's a hassle to move around hotels, and they'll likely pick a hotel they're already happy with if most hotels are SHA+ (and they will have to be if they want to survive). I think this is a non-issue, but even if they were to get a large number of 1-night stays - that's still better than rooms sitting empty. And it could easily be accounted for by increasing nightly prices and giving discounts for longer stays. Also don't forget that those guests who book 1 night wouldn't even sleep in the room - they'll check out immediately after the negative result, allowing the hotel plenty of time to prepare the room for next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I would be a hotel owner, I would NOT accept such tourists, except when the government pays me 2-3 nights for each tourist who stays 1 night for covid-checks. AND we need a new website with all the hotels who offer that service, I am pretty sure that all ASQ or SHA hotels are interested in that business Unfortunately the hotel boss is more desperate than the government officials who have collected thier salaries and more during the crises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preconditions have been made a criteria for prioritizing vaccinations. I don't think that there are any preconditions that would preclude you from getting the 100K Covid insurance. But the insurance would be a problem for Tourists making a choice of where to go for vacation. If your insurance back home covers you, how do you present it to the Web based portal? Or if you have to purchase insurance from a Thai company. How do you research it and chose the adequate coverage from your country back home. IMO If Tourists have to buy insurance, I think many of them will become discouraged and chose to go elsewhere or stay home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uroller Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 It’s not Non-Quarantine! You have to stay 1 night in a hotel! Hotels must be thrilled with that rule as the cost of selling a 1 night stay is much higher than multi day stay, unless they Jack up the price????

Actual tourists would probably book at least a few days as it's a hassle to move around hotels. Disagree, I always book a 1-day stay in a 3-4 star hotel on the first night only as I can easily find a better deal in person right after. Basically as reception is often helpful, starting off in a central A location etc. Edited October 15, 2021 by ChaiyaTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like 1)+2)+3) = 38 The Nordic countries are grouped as lowest risk countries. The USA is mentioned explicitely as "critical" with still high infection rates. France is pointed out as EU country with the highest infection rate (?). So this 38 countries is for consideration and might well shrink to my opinion. Still no idea what happened to Singapore? Why don't they just list the 38 countries! Jeez. Why do they always have to complicate things in this country! Just list them in alphabetical order. Or, as the opening sentence says, according to economic value as that is obviously the most important factor to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
