Dunno..... only from tourists daft enough to actually arrive in Thailand on Monday. Hopefully, expats will have have done a little research here and other forums and will hold off for a while. Just imagining it......instead of the usual pushing and shoving, everyone saying "After you" "No....after YOU, I insist!!!" ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand’s main international airport will operate at just 30 percent capacity on Monday, the first day of its reopening to foreign tourists. Then, 2 paragraphs later: The passengers will arrive on 440 commercial flights consisting of 230 domestic flights, 110 international and 100 cargo flights, Pray tell me..... how do foreigners arrive in Thailand on domestic flights? Even if you connect from say BKK to HKT you still arrive in Thailand on an international flight....don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the cheapest SHA+ cerified hotels I found on Booking.com in Bangkok in November is Baht 333. 333 not bad they pick you up at the airport that’s not even the taxi fare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post apetryxx Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2021 This whole “no quarantine” is such a lie. One must tolerate the humiliating arrival procedures just as before, transport by prison van to your prison cell and pay exhorbitant fees for the privilege.

aussiexpat Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) So according to TAT, there have been 58,685 arrivals in Phuket sandbox in last 4 months. Of these, they say 196 tested positive on arrival (0.33%). For this "massive %' of positive tests, the mandatory insurance would have cost travellers about 176 million baht (assuming 3,000 bt per person). With only 196 positive, most likely without symptoms, that's a pretty impressive scam, oops I mean profit...which is about to be their biggest earner if the arrival numbers go up like they say https://www.tatnews.org/ Edited October 30, 2021 by aussiexpat 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 2 hours ago, JCP108 said: The data Thailand has reported throughout the pandemic suggest that the country has limited testing ability in regards to number of tests per day (for example strange plateaus in the curves of rising daily cases). Is there any discussion anywhere about Thailand adding additional labs or resources to handle the expected extra thousands of PCR tests required under this new program? Nope....it will be what it will be as Prayut once said... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 7 hours ago, mtls2005 said: They often count code-shares, which might include two or three additional flight numbers, all for the same metal. And they may be double-counting, using both arrivals and departures? I seriously doubt there will be 110 separate international arriving aircraft landing at SBIA/BKK on Monday. Some/maybe all of the arriving international flights may be operating under policies of restricted seat filling - empty seat between every passenger. Either required by the Thai authorities or their own company policies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensawadee Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 13 hours ago, RafPinto said: 110 international flights with 7000 travellers. Is it including the crew or just tourists? 110/7000= 63.6 passengers per flight. Wowwww I think 'comfy'.... Many passengers will have a whole row of seats to lay down and sleep... Even those Cargo flights will bring in foreign crews that will spend money... More if they can find a restaurant serving drinks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
