As to those ASQ hotels for 1 night - they might be from the top shelf above $100 per night. Way above budget traveller. And what if test is inconclusive and you have to stay 2 nights

UK starting lateral flow tests soon for arrivals from green list - just take evidence and post it or something. Thailand should follow suit - hopefully. Currently they are still shuffling nonsense

They should go back to school.

Don't they know that Finland, Sweden, Denmark are part of the European Union?

This will likely will change again by this afternoon. There seems to be little logic to the decision making, other than previous years tourist level arrivals (which fly's in the face of quality tourism). I see no link with any "Covid Risk Assessment Protocol" - My new acronym begins with C and ends in P - figure it out.

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... 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

And if your flight arrives at 10pm.

Test, off the the hotel and at 12 check-out.

 

Ridiculous.

Please let Japan do a reciprocal deal.   Would cancel Deer Valley in a heartbeat for some Hokkaido powder.

They've just announced the biggest daily numbers; have a poor vaccine take-up (probably because the vaccine ranks lower than the Chinese stuff?).  The Kremlin has, today, freed up air travel to all its millionaires.

There are so much russophobia in this statement i choked on vodka!

 

Lower than chinese stuff?

Flights for millionaires?

Jeeeeeeeez

See only 20 countries mentioned here where the other 18??

Thai paw  equals COE I need to drop all that stuff CIT

From monday the airlines in norway scrap the rule about wearing masks.Only domestic fligths.

Even better, Norwegian and SAS scraped the rule about wearing masks for all Nordic flights. Flight outside on the Nordic countries will still need a mask. Hope the whole world can go back to a more normal state as soon as possible.

As I was just mentioning a few days ago before my post was locked. 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.

No drink  no nightlife. What a rubbish holiday!

Neither have successful vaccine programs. Both used failed lock down to 'control' the spread. Neither have geonomic analysis programs.

I doubt any Ozzies would come anyway.  They have to go through an expensive 14 day quarantine upon returning to Australia.

That's also changing quickly, as we speak, for at least NSW.

Ur rigth.Lets just hope things get back to like it was before.

It took 21 months to get to this point and another 21 to get out ? LOL

I can see more colours on the way. Countries going into colour groups. Nov 1st green can come. 

Nov 15th lucky yellow. 

Dec 1st orange can join. 

Dec 15th welcome blue. 

Just love colours! 

Ahhh, "grouping countries according to economic value"!

No, it's because most Russians are just not scared. 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 ????

  Am I the only one finding it hilarious that we have these old, clueless, incompetents apparently sitting around and weighing the 'value' of various countries before bestowing on them the supreme honor of 'allowing' their citizens to visit Thailand.  Too funny.  They will be lucky if anyone shows up with their requirements still not nailed down and it's the middle of October already.  

Notice how non of their neighboring countries are on the list. That shows the true reason for being listed has nothing to do with infection rates......$$$$$

Someone must have told them that Australians are not free to travel abroad on Nov. 1.

 

However, no-one told them about China's outbound restrictions.

Delta, did that not start in India, suddenly they are on the list, even though they have done a good job at treating their people, very well actually.

Might as well open the gate Pratunam Burt. Watergate Open. to all countries , does that mean planes will fly again??

Within the last 24 hours I've read 10 countries then 5 countries then 27 countries and now 38 countries and it's not even teatime yet.

Thai media Daily News reported that the CCSA were considering grouping countries according to economic value and vaccine coverage as a means to deciding which ones' nationals will be allowed to come to Thailand without having to quarantine from November 1st.

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.
