They need to stop the extortionate rip off cost of both the hospitels and the Covid insurance packages. Imagine a Chinese bus tour and one of the passengers gets covid, are they then going to quarantine the whole bus? If asymptomatic people need to be able to quarantine it needs to be at an acceptable cost and not in a rip off hospitel, making insurance affordable, or no tourists are coming.

Partially quarantine free.... Partially open. Still too many hurdles for true tourists to bother jumping over to come to a country that's still half vaccinated, and half closed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thailand C.O.E., Thailand move-on, Thailand Sandbox, Thailand Pass, today it is Thailand reboot! You can't make this stuff up but here it exists day in day out as soon as you wake up. When these leaders get their heads out of the elephant behind see the light their projection numbers aren't going to be met when they announced " slow opening " we expect it here but the continue stupid that comes along with it is very frustrating. Those who will brave the journey under the same but reduced demands will surely find out how slow when they get to the immigration Q! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing fully vaccinated tourists into a country where the disease is already endemic and where just over a third of the local population is fully vaccinated will not cause an explosion of cases.

pjmorton Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 When Thailand was among the least infected countries in the world, there was a good argument to be made for restricting inbound travel. But now that it is one of the most infected countries, who are they trying to protect, the foreigners? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data apparently show that the vaccinated are 90% less likely to become infected, and even if infected far less likely to infect others. So, yes it is a overwhelmingly a problem of the unvaccinated and Thailand is only allowing the vaccinated in without quarantine. Yes, there is a small risk of a vaccinated person being infected and infecting someone else, but do you think the country should be locked down forever? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
