Thirty eight countries in the frame for non-quarantine access to Thailand, Thai media

[Stargeezr]

Don't worry about this list of countries. Thailand is a developing country, and that means its brains are still developing.

  Soon the list will change, because, someone in the Thai government will actually get a list of the countries in the

world and a few more countries will be added to this newest list.   Developing ( think 3rd world) countries still

have lots to learn, and that includes Thailand.  This opening of the country is still in its infancy, so let this

wonderful government have time to get things right.

Geezer

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

That was the case a couple of weeks ago. Now it's 7 day home quarantine with monitoring.

test is inconclusive and you have to stay 2 nights

True. Even more what I see is the test not being processed in time whether it's Thai laziness, understaffing or outright scam.

 

Then you must book another night at a non negotiation rate.

[Chad3000]

So, now the list is basically every nation already coming to Thailand prior. Lol.

Same insurance. Fresh quarantine rules. Fresh CoE app. Fresh PCR requirements. But it's all the same.

Well Australia should be clearly ahead of about 30 countries on this list at least.

 

Within a month will probably be the highest vaccinated country in the world (%) wise and compared to 98% of other countries have had minimal cases and deaths.

 

However if the daily news is correct and the requirements re what countries Thailand let in first are largely based on vaccination rates and case numbers Australia will be one of the first few named.

 

When the official list is released I would bet good money on the fact Australia will be one of them

The Aussies are a feral bunch. Especially the woman. Please for God's sake don't allow them into Thailand. Stick to Bali.

I can't see why Canada is not on the list, it has already double vaccinated 82% of the population and low death rates, and most of the deaths are from the unvaccinated people. Canada is way ahead of USA and the UK.

People forget you are there..... make more noise despite the neighbours.

I don't believe that's their nature, unlike their uncouth neighbors to the south.

[aussiexpat]

So even with the Sandbox reduced to 7 days only about 8000 have come in the first half of October...why are they not getting it....no COE, no scam covid insurance, no PCR test on arrival, no 1 day quarantine, no curfew, open bars and clubs, then we might come

If the pax are double jabbed, tested prior to departure and upon arrival, The risk profile of those travellers would be at par if not in close range with any other nations.

Thai rules are rules - not safe countries to the back of the queue

I suspect that these rules will not be applied

But in any event your opinion is not important

Thats right, your opinion is not important.

Factors that decide would be highest economic impact, at lowest risk.

 

For economic impact, per capita expenditure and potential head count are critical.

Risk profile of travellers are vital, less so with the national spread of inoculation rates.

 

[node]

Everyone speaks about entering LOS. What happens on exiting LOS after your vacation. You go do the 72, hours PCR test before flight, which I am 100% sure will triple in price here to do, another income grabber. As most Airlines and countries requires before you fly. You tested positive. Have to rebooked if that is possible, and the Thais will take you straight to some place till you test negative, your insurance will be at milked. I wonder how many will consider this before they rush out and book a flight to the land full of all the S's,  ( Sun : Sea : Sex : Sand & Smiles ). I am sure the Thais are aware of this that many will get infected there before leaving. Icing on the cake for the band of crooks. Not checking the new proposed ( Privilege to walk on the land 500 baht tax).

I certainly wouldn't except them to have this test on arrival/24 hr wait procedure and the presumed glitches to come together in a working fashion at least for another couple of months. It's just the manner in which they initially organize things.

Sure. that's what it's about. Some circles have to make a profit - in one form or another - on the charade.

It's not about vaccination , many of the countries on the list aren't the in the top vaccinated list .

It's not about amount of cases in the countries , many of the countries on the list do not have low numbers .

It's about money and most travellers to Thailand, together with some unknown other thing ( i'd say prob some political pressure from 1 of the members , might be from Thai side or from country on the list side , idk )  .

Canada is not the country which have many people visiting Thailand , most Thais prob doesn't even know it is a country . You are not alone in this case , many other countries face the same issue . I'd say , relax , keep on reading the news , and you never know what rule and what country they take out of their sleeve . Might be there tomorrow or not , or next month or not , might be there now and gone by tomorrow .... nobody knows .

Wasn't it because some mate of a Thai official was miffed by the way he was treated Downunder?

Or perhaps China is tugging on the buffalo's rope.

[Mentors65]

The big, unclear annoucement and since then complete silence, as usual.
