WHansen Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 As we have all witnessed many times before, any Thai with an official title loves nothing more than hearing their own voice and being photographed, and i think this is one such occasion. It was stated yesterday that the CCSA would deliver "A clear and actual plan for Thailand’s reopening to welcome fully vaccinated foreigners will be discussed and finalized within 1-2 days, the director of the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration’s (CCSA) operations center stated today, October 18th." I will wait and see what tomorrows plan is and wether it makes it into the Royal Gazette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 2 reasons. #1 because he can, and from the reports I have read of him he doesn't appear to like farangs. #2 he doesn't really know what he is doing and his medical knowledge can be written on the head of a pin with enough room left to write the entire encyclopedia Britannica. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one gets infected during travel to LOS it is unlikely the infection will show up on a PCR test immediately upon arrival. But it will if the infection occurred before travel but was not enough to test positive on the first test. There's always a gap, but this helps minimize it. Do I like it? Of course not, but I understand it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why then are the countries like the US and such not requiring a PCR test upon arrival if your fully vaccinated and had a negative test prior to flying. Oh wait the CDC says it is not needed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/covid-19_testing_required_US_Entry.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why i do trust these kind of reports and not a gouvernment that want to put a needle in avery kids arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CG1 Blue Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 11 hours ago, HappyExpat57 said: This is why you get Covid insurance that covers this sort of thing. Quite a racket! Indeed! And yes, Covid insurance might cover the cost of forced quarantine. But if you (or someone on your flight) test positive upon arrival and you get banged up for 2 weeks, that's the holiday ruined. Imagine waiting 1-2 years to have a big holiday and then having to spend it in quarantine. Tourists won't take that risk whether or not the cost is covered by insurance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Carrbhoy said: My experience must be the exception then. I had previously booked the 14 day package prior to it changing to 7 days. My ASQ (SHA+ hotel) in Bangkok pro-actively contacted me to change to the 7 Day Package and organise the refund / international transfer back to my UK bank account. Very impressed and amount refunded was very fair. The small print does make it clear that there would be a charge of 1000 THB for any refund! Apart from that, all good! As I would expect.

Popular Post Babyfis Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 Double vaccinated and still need a CPR test and a one night stay (Quarantine) don’t make sense at all !! Why would tourists from the US or Europe countries want to fly all the way there for holidays, when most European country reopened for fully vaccinated in and out the country for holiday without any CPR test or quarantine. 100% this will put me and rest of other tourists off from going to Thailand for holidays. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of September 2022 as reported yesterday out of Bangkok Type O-A visa those retired will be required to have Covid insurance AFTER being vaccinated. My hunch all visa types will soon be the same.

Indeed, what a ridiculous piece of unnecessary red tape : "fit to sit on a seat for xx hours when flying to Thailand", that's about what it amounts to. I had one issued by a GP early this year (in Europe), the GP hardly looked at me, no examination whatsoever, not even taking my weight and height. It cost me 2 hours going to him and queuing up, plus the EUR charge of course. Totally ridiculous.
