Channel 7 reported on the arrival of a Bangkok Airways direct flight from Singapore to Koh Samui in the south of Thailand.

 

The 33 passengers on PG 962 - none of whom were from eight restricted countries announced in connection with the Omicron variant - were met by strict protocols and document checking.

 

All had their Thailand Passes, biometrics checks, and swab tests and were taken to hotels to await results, said the media.

 

These all came back negative and would be followed in 6-7 days by a further ATK test.

 

Omicron has yet to have an effect on travel to Samui with 5,000 arrivals expected on the holiday island in December.

Surely they all had to have a 72 hour pre-flight, negative resulting PSR test before boarding? That's why there were no positives on arrival.

From an internet search, I discovered an Airbus A319 was used, total passenger seating 120.

Wow, that's a relative lot of arrivals compared to Samui+...????

 

However, some might already have arrived, the are qiote a number unskilled foreigners driving motorbikes, quite dangerous traffic now, little scaring if we are coving back to something like pre-covid traffic standard...????

So who certifies the PCR tests.

My PCR test in Sweden was to spit in a tube at a beauty parlor.

Anyone can issue a PCR certificate, biggest scam around.
