Popular Post gk10012001 Posted October 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) so of those new cases, how many were not accinated? That is kind of an important piece of information. Since so many arriving foreigners will be vaccinated or will have gone through quarantine and tested negative, I don't see how foreigners arriving should be much of a concern. They just would not be the significant risk factor Edited October 18, 2021 by gk10012001 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikosan Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I’m afraid I do not believe the vaccination figures. I know for a fact that there are many, many, people who live in Hua Hin who are registered in their home towns and villages and have had difficulties registering for vaccines here. The figures could possibly apply to persons registered as living in Hua Hin, although I’m sceptical, but if you include the others that would reduce the percentage considerably. In truth, I don’t believe the figures regardless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Used2LuvThailand Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) The hand-wringing nutters and their Covid zero strategy. There's really nothing you can do or say for them, but once again anyone stupid enough to be thinking about traveling to Thailand for tourism should pay attention. 1) They're arresting more and more people EVERYDAY for the heinous crime of being out of their home and drinking and 2) The continuation of a Covid zero strategy means more lockdowns and closures are a certainty. Their grand 'reopening' is a farce, just another uncoordinated 'display' by an incompetent government.

Stargeezr Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 With these clusters of COVID, still happening, it is clear that it is a risk for any international traveler to go to almost amy where in Thailand, including Hua Hin. Glad that I am waiting a bit longer before deciding if I go early in 2022 or wait until the end of that year. Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
