Khao San Rd: Foreigners must take 100 baht swab tests if vax is old - ambulance on standby to take them away if positive

[mommysboy]

Totally lost the plot...or perhaps more likely never had it. 

 

Nearly all holidaymakers want freedom and the bars open. They are generally young and have been vaccinated anyway. And really the key is vaccinating the Thai population, of which we are told nearly everyone in Bangkok has been done.

Nearly....all vaccinated, on the old census numbers and not the current actual numbers......

[crazykopite]

Yet another money making scam 

[darrenr]

They have lost the plot ! Already done 2-3 swabs to get into Thailand, rate their going you’ll be swabbed 10 times a day, and they certainly won’t be getting my personal details off my vaccination certificate (such as full name and DOB), unless government official.

 

I hear Cambodia as of 15 Nov - no VOE/Thai Pass, no PCR test, no insurance ,only rapid test on arrival, Thailand May lose a lot of business to other countries with less complicated entry

If foreigners have been vaccinated six months ago they will have to take a 100 baht swab test and wait.

 

An ambulance is on hand to take them away if they turn out to be positive. 

Safety precautions like that will surely get hordes of foreigners visiting Khaosan Road...????

Always Thais are anticipating to new business opportunity's ...... now just wait for the copy cats all over Thailand .....

another pro-active measure to stimulate tourism.

 

Go through all hoops to gain entry to the country.

 

if you are sucessful in making  it, we just want to ensure you dont have any peace of mind while visiting any 'restaurants that can sell alcohol'!

[SuwadeeS]

That's the way how to destroy more tourist places.

Not to forget the dual pricing places.

Thailand is not ready, yet.

Btw where's my moderna vaccine fully paid back in April?

wasnt that another donation to the medical industry that lost revenue from being able to rip  'medical tourists'?

[SuwadeeS]

How about Thai.

So they need to so the Same Test?

I don't think so.

If some Friends ask me to travel to Thailand, I will Not recommend.

[Spellforce]

No problem to avoid KSR.

 

But this is an alarm about the new trend: one injection every 6 months, twice per year, this will be mandatory if you want to travel.

Thai media reported that the traders' association at Khao San Road were adopting their own measures to fulfil the requirements of the latest Covid protocols called "Thai Stop Covid Plus".

Welcome to the land of sharks, no doubt the government will quash this as quick as they did with private buses refusing farangs to board earlier on when Covid introduced to Thailand by the Chinese.

 

Well at least we hope they will, and good luck to the museum with farang tourists visiting.......idiots !

Are they kidding? This is pure discrimination.  How about Thai people with older vaccines? What a country! This will definitely not help the tourism sector.

[Swampy999]

36 three week holidays here and now lived here for 8 year's, if this was the way I was treated on my first visit to Thailand it would have most certainly been my last.

Money number one, rip off tourists today, don't worry about tomorrow.

Because covid infects only foreigners...... [sarcasm off]  

It is pure discrimination like their dual pricing system.

[Petey11]

Won't be returning there if that is still enforced if and when I return, their loss. Keep going with the self-inflicted destruction.

[scubascuba3]

Crazy for foreigners to go there with those crazy rules

[yogi yogi]

so they randomly stop forigner on ko sarn and have them show them thier vacc card and if 6 months old then they have to do swab?   one year of moderna is better than 1 month of sinovac?

[PMinThailand]

Just another "incentive" to attract tourists!

[yogi yogi]

i was their yesterday only about 5 foriegners thier . should be easy to track them down.   is the ambulance cruising around ko sarn right now?

[Benmart]

May the businesses wither and close by their own hand.

[Cat Boy]

It's seems there is no limit to the hostility and vengeance the junta has for its kicking boy KSR. They already destroyed it long before the pandemic, now its just a macabre spectacle, beating a dead body, unstated reference intended
