The beaurocratic/military bossy mindset is indeed a wondrous thing. Reinstating the quarantine process will of course totally shaft the reopening plan. Can they not understand - as soon as "quarantine" is mentioned, people quite simply don't book! I rather suspect that those influential people who have invested in providing quarantine facilities may be calling the shots here? Either way, they have shafted things again!

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) What on earth have the super creeps done now? Just when there was at least a hope that some tourists might show up, they add a dollop of mud to the mix, and make things completely muddled again. Anyone know what this actually means? Who does the one day test and go program apply to, and who is subject to the 7 day prison stint? Dumb and dumber. Anything connected to the Pratin duo fails. And all of this extreme cowardice, over what appears to be a weak and feeble variant. Edited December 14, 2021 by spidermike007 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Midwit Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 2 hours ago, PuaSai said: I'm going through quarantine right now. Arrived Saturday and actually the process at Suvarnabhumi Airport was very fast and efficient. WAY faster then I expected. I didn't even get to sit in the initial chair line for more than a minute. Immigration lines were very short. I walked right up to be stamped to enter. They didn't have the expedited lines for business or first class and they didn't need them. Taxi service was provided by the hotel and their staff met me and others at the airport and organized your ride to the hotel. I rode alone having traveled alone and the driver's section was sealed off from me by clear plastic. I did the Bangkok Sand Box, but because I wasn't in the U.S. for 21 consecutive days, I am quarantined for 7 days. I even have 2 vaccines and a booster. (Not bragging. I only got the shots to come home. If the situation was different I wouldn't have gotten them.) After you arrive, you get the 1st RT-PCR test and wait 24 hours (or so. My wait was less. This was my 3rd PCR test this week for traveling.). If negative, you're allowed to go outside, but have to finish the quarantine. When I say you can go outside, I mean they let you go, say for example, to the mall you're hotel is attached to. So, you're not a prisoner inside the hotel. Basically I guess you can go anywhere, but you have to return to the hotel. The 6th day you had to do a self test or you can have the nurse on staff do it. The hotel and staff are very nice and the room is huge and clean. The floor I'm on is a restricted floor. Only people on quarantine can go up and get out on that floor. You have to use your key card on the elevator before you push the floor button or a woman's voice announces loudly "you have selected a restricted floor." All in all, it hasn't been bad except for missing a week with my family. I wouldn't want to make them sick, so it's worth it to me. Imagine just getting your passport stamped, getting on the bts and going about your life. Wasn’t that the reason for the jab? If you have been jabbed and tested why are you still being treated like a leper? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly before a shot is considered a "vaccine", it goes through "years of testing." If I can find the document I have from the CDC I'll show you this is what it says. (It is attached) This "jab" supposedly only lessens the symptoms to yourself if you catch the virus and because these vaccines were released so quickly, the long term side affects are unknown. We know some people have had serious side affects such as blood clots and people have died. COVID is not going to disappear. So, do what you can do to live your life the fullest. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you arriving on the second Tuesday of a month, during a full moon, from a country with an R in it's name? If so - 7 days quarantine. But if arriving on the third Wednesday via an approved sea port, then just 1 day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
