This is the worst epidemic in the lifetimes of just about everyone on the planet. We can’t get on with normal life until the anti-vaccine types either get jabbed or die.

So what is your suggestion, close for another year Entry with quarantine, 5 days + PCR test. But stop the silly CoE, ThailandPass staff resp. offer a 1 off yes/no instead of 2step process. Ppl will do it when it is easy with concise explanation.
October 23, 20214 yr It sounds good at 1st sight. But on closer look still lots of ??? Having to live in a country for 21 days before travelling. Does this mean I cannot fly out from an airport in a neighboring country? Live in Austria but closest airport is in Germany 2h away. Does anybody have any knowledge how to deal with this?

It's very likely that the app will ask what countries you have been in during the last 21 days.
October 23, 20214 yr Yep, won't be planning on returning anytime soon. Really what the **** is the attraction with all these rules & condition just to get into the front door ??

Luckily my flight gets in at 6am so I can get my test early and the result the next morning. My deal comes with a full refund if your PCR test before travel is positive and a full refund if you cancel 7days prior to booking date. What I was most worried about was there being enough hotel rooms which are able to cater for quarantining passengers, it would seem that there are plenty right now and more hotels are starting to apply. If you can get the type of deal above, I would seriously book it now because with the refund stipulations as they are, you really have a lot to gain and much to loose. Imagine if you were all booked, visa in hand and ready to rock but there were no hotels with quarantine credentials or there were but at astronomical prices. Another worry is they wouldn't have the available staff to go to all the hotels to do the tests. Noah built the ark before the rain. Chok dee krap ???? Is private transfer mandatory? No Airport Link or MRT allowed not even Grab? I was planning on going all the way to a hotel near Chinatown by public transportation. Getting there and being forced to book an overpriced transfer on the spot wouldn't be a great start.

Curfew and bars pubs ??? What about transportation restrictions? Tried to go to Koh Tao a few weeks ago. They wanted a 3000b PCR test to board the boat. Can't make this stuff up...going to stop feeling sorry for the industry soon. Yep. Then many of these places are getting on fb and complaining they have no industry right now. If anybody is reading this, this isn’t rocket science… open the <deleted> up, no restrictions whatsoever.
October 23, 20214 yr According to CAAT guidance travellers who are exempt from quarantine (from 1Nov) need $50k min insurance...but from a Thai company. If correct it seems like an unnecessary obstacle for travellers from outside Thailand to insist they use a Thai company https://twitter.com/SiobhanRobbins/status/1451908122759479306 It’s worse for those of us living here who already have health insurance. If we leave Thailand for more than 21 days we would have to buy additional insurance as specified from a Thai company for every day we live here - could be B20,000 - B30,000 for a full year.
October 23, 20214 yr More no joined up thinking from the mumbo jumbo Muppets. You can have gatherings in the tens of people or more but as long as it's not in a bar. Waste of time in attracting tourist numbers in any meaningful quantity without night life.

October 24, 20214 yr 10 hours ago, Danderman123 said: Does vaccine immunity wear off in a few weeks? Nope. Even Pfizer only reduces to 50% after six months. Moderna drops by a percent. Moderna protected me from an infection a couple weeks ago, so it’s not worthless. There is NO current vac immunity from Covid; by strengthening the immune system today's vaccs merely reduce the odds of becoming infected, and prevents the worst effects that could lead to hospitalization. After suffering Covid, and recovering well, without long term effects, natural immunity is far superior than having to risk having booster vac shots every few months. I say risk, because the immune system, by being constantly under 'attack', could be adversely affected. The most at risk to themselves and others are none vaccinated, non/never-infected people who for various reasons choose to reject being vaccinated.
October 24, 20214 yr Stop the fearmongering about the virus Stop all the pointless testing and the future will be bleak again in Thailand. The countries with little or no restrictions like Sweden, South Korea, now also Denmark, Norway etc. were doing best during and after this 'pandemic'. Why not taking an example from them instead of the country ruled by a geriatric and paranoid Pfizer employee?

All Thailand can do is mass immunization and exercise the controls as they doing. You have no right to critise or make gloomy predictions without offering a better solution. hopefully not forever and we dont have to live with covid .. lots of solutions have been introduced but nobody has followed through on them gov needs to get quality vacc to people and jabbed people need to wear masks and yes we do have a right to criticize , that is how we get things done ..and gloomy predictions are what help us with the anti science idiots ... i will NEVER agree that we ignore covid deaths over economy that is just stupid the above is for thailand ... i have tons more to say about usa uk etc but i will save that for reddit

Sweden to give 12-15 year olds Pfizer vaccine, rejects Moderna Are vaccines experimental? Nope. You are confusing Emergency Use Authorization with “experimental “. is Delta less contagious than originally believed? Nope. It’s more contagious. It caught Thailand by surprise. Does vaccine immunity wear off in a few weeks? Nope. Even Pfizer only reduces to 50% after six months. Moderna drops by a percent. Moderna protected me from an infection a couple weeks ago, so it’s not worthless. I always love it when uninformed people choose to display their ignorance here. So lol.

Let’s go through your examples: Denmark and Norway had heavy restrictions during the pandemic. South Korea has completely shut the country from the outside. Only Sweden didn’t lock down, with very poor results, more deaths than its neighbors combined.

I was planning on going all the way to a hotel near Chinatown by public transportation. Getting there and being forced to book an overpriced transfer on the spot wouldn't be a great start. Sorry I was not clear. The private airport transfer is part of the price and is laid on directly by my hotel. So for 6500 I get private airport transfer, 3 meals, PCR test and one night two days stay. Not too bad of a deal if you ask me.

Visitors must have spent 21 consecutive days in those countries beforehand, unless Thailand was the original departure point, and must arrive by plane, among other requirements. Anyone know the 'rule' if Thailand was the original departure point? I'm okay with 3 week+ holidays but would be nice if we could take shorter trips as well and still come back to the 1 night in 'PCR test wait.'
