Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2021 When Thailand opened its doors to vaccinated travelers from 63 nations this month, it also launched a new system for them to gain entry. From November 1, tourists flying into Thailand are required to carry a Thailand Pass instead of a Certificate of Entry (COE). And as of November 4, more than 65,000 people had applied for the pass and 12,607 had been approved. What is Thailand Pass? This document is required for both Thai nationals and foreigners who are flying into Thailand, regardless of the scheme they are traveling under. At present, people can land in the country under three schemes – Test & Go (Quarantine-Free Entry), Sandbox (Relaxed Quarantine Rules for the fully vaccinated), or the Alternative Quarantine System.

What happens if you are tested positive (real or wrong): a financial burdon. The most easy and logic way is to put the responsability on the carriers shoulder at check in. And eventually a quick test on arrival. But yeah TIT and you know you will be f*cked in anyway you could imagine ending, if you pass allthese hurdels in a restaurant drinking a fanta.

Popular Post fangless Posted November 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2021 The linked Thaipbsworld article is dated 10 November and contains this gem; "COE applicants at the pre-approval stage must submit the remaining documents by November 7 to get an approved COE that can be used in place of Thailand Pass." Nice to see the clarification is up-to-date! 2 2 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fangless Posted November 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2021 Air passengers who need to change flights in Thailand are not required to hold a Thailand Pass. However, they are required to produce a negative RT-PCR test result taken no more than 72 hours ago and insurance coverage of at least $50,000. Are they joking? 2 4 2 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly false. The author needs to take two minutes to check the website of the nearest Thai embassy or consulate, where he’ll find the message, written in plain English, “COE approved prior to 1 November still valid for entry.” 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Looking at the chart in the U.S. there are 50 States it looks like the average is around 60%. Based on Thailand the way the government leaders seem to think and work it is hard to believe that they aren't benefiting from the required insurance or Hotels that are now government certified quarantine places?

Yes this seems to be the case. The reason why Thai people want to be employed as government workers is because of the countless opportunities to generate additional income from just about everything they do. It is quite likely that someone is getting that little bit extra when approving an hotel for ASQ or whatever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Thai neighbor is a Van owner and driver for a school since the closure it has been covered and he is selling food but last week I saw him cleaning the Van, in a short conversation with the wife I said so and so is going back to Van school opening she said no that he got a short gig at the airport to shuttle passengers to their one day quarantine hotel in BKK but he had to grease for the privilege? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course there are folks who believe it's all fake. In the USA 780,000 deaths from the virus or perhaps you believe that's fake news too. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
