I have no knowledge of the risk level involved of something not yet implemented. Baby steps to start maybe best. No man, you don't get it. Migrant workers from Burma and probably Laos and Cambodia have been crossing the border with Thailand the whole time the country was, LOL, in "lockdown". They are the reason Covid is everywhere in Thailand right now (starting with Cambodian prostitutes joining hi-so parties in Bangkok, if I remember correctly) Wake up dude! All these rules and requirements do absolutely nothing in terms of protecting the public. They're just extra taxes the thai government is imposing on the only people who can afford them, people coming from rich countries. Well, that, and the usual rhetoric: "locals are fine but those dirty foreigners will kill us all".... except their locals are not fine because more and more cases are cropping up and they're still behind with vaccinations (not to mention some were vaccinated with Sinovac... The whole situation is sad, and it's also sad that some people who should know better are buying the government propaganda. Honestly, I'm just trying to go back to marry my girlfriend, otherwise I would never, ever even consider going back to Thailand. Their whole management of this crisis is nothing but a fraudulent, xenophobic joke. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalueng Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 18 hours ago, island coconut said: Fools. Covid will explode here soon... Really? But if it does it's because of all those Thai residents who travel domestically and are not yet vaccinated rather than the vaccinated foreigners, as the likelihood they catch Covid is 10x smaller, and the likelihood that a infected vaccinated tourist is transmitting the disease is 10x smaller too.

I suggest you read the op again, slowly this time. Hint: no quarantine is for arrivals from LOW RISK countries. The 21 days minimum stay in low risk countries is to make sure people who live in other countries don't go for a couple of days to a low risk country in order to avoid quarantine here.

I'm not worried about covid as I had it already and got antibodies against covid now with papers from hospital to prove it , so I am immune against covid take no notice what papers or government say , when you got antibodies against covid you are immune for life , you have probably got antibodies now go check , authorities are just letting in fully vaccinated people those people can spread the virus , they can get the virus and they can die from the virus it makes me laugh just letting in people who can do that , while natural immune people and unvaccinated cannot come it should be the other way round . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not have you (been careless enough)to get covid. Non vaxxed. …then stay away from me, my family , my pool, btw. You can get covid again …. So could you, even if vacced two times and had a booster. Ask yourself WHY do you need a booster? It's to strenghten your immunity as are the vaccs - which are NOT vacccines that prevent you ever catching Covid.. That could happen in the future given time for medical science to develop a life-long vaccine. That's the reality. And if I have natural immunity it's not likely I'll be contagious or pass it on to you, your family or your pool would it.? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2here Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Myself, I like the part about ‘unless you are returning directly from thailand’ part.. that to me makes it now possible for shorter family visits overseas and even business trips they don’t HAVE TO be 21 days or more longer to be eligible… For me, when i go back to the US, I tend to make my trips roughy around 2 weeks.. so allowing those who came right from Thailand to be eligible is a big plus. In theory, i could now make trips to visit friends - who all reside on one of the currently-listed countries - and stay for only a few days, and be eligible for return to Thailand under this program. What Id be interested to see is at what price point will the various common insurers be setting premiums for USD$50k policies as that seems to be the magical number now; not USD$100k as is now. Lastly, while there appears to be no full/formal list of eligible hotels for the one-night-waiting just yet, it would be interesting to see how that prices out. I’d reasonably guess that there will be a range of hotels; so a range of prices for that part, but what about the test itself.. Under the ASQ package system, if you broke it down, the medical component was a fairly large percentage of the total ASQ price - so it will be interesting to see how these one-night-waiting rates shape up.

Constently tired, feel like living in a fridge for three days with no clothes on, loss of sense of smell and taste, and a (arm/leg) skin attack that lasted two weeks. It wasn't flu or dengue, that's for sure. My low systolic blood pressure rose from 110 to 140 for about ten days - and for those unfortunates who have higher 'normal' initial readings, it's no wonder they get hospitalised. As for being tested, It's not my style to ever rely on these makeshift ones until the results have been tried and tested for many months as being accurate.

Koh Tao is one island that has had several unexplained and horrific foreign deaths over the last few years - it's run by influential mafia families who are above the law. That is why it's known as Death island. Look it up on Google. So it's not surprising they'd try and prosper from overcharging visitors - more important than their protection from Covid - that's if they need it - they have probably had had dozens of booster shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fusion58 Posted October 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2021 All I know is that I have jumped through all the hoops they've set up, i.e., applied for COE, submitted all required documents, booked ASQ hotel, purchased the $100K worth of covid-19 insurance, booked a flight, etc., and I STILL have no idea whether I'll be able to enter Thailand on my early November arrival date. Why? Because COEs approved prior to 1 November will still be honored, according to the Royal Thai Embassy, but my CEO application has yet to be approved, and I have no idea where I am in the processing queue. If I have to start over from scratch on 1 November and apply for the Thailand Pass, then there's a good chance I won't receive an approval before my departure date as the registration process takes up to seven days, according to the embassy webpage.

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?
