webfact Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Tourists from African countries will be able to apply for the “Thailand Pass” to enter the country under the “sandbox” program from Tuesday, as Thailand adjusts foreign entry requirements to reflect the changing COVID-19 situation, particularly as concerns the Omicron variant. Under the “sandbox” scheme, foreign travellers must stay at accredited hotels in “sandbox” provinces for at least five days, to enable observation of their condition before they travel elsewhere. According to the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, foreign travellers entering Thailand under this alternative quarantine program must be fully inoculated, in accordance with the Thai Public Health Ministry’s regulations, and will be subjected to seven days quarantine instead of 14 days.

Popular Post Kerryd Posted January 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2022 I thought they'd decided against going after the "low income" tourists and were going to go back to trying to get the people who actually spend money to come back again ? 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and Omicron has spread right through Africa now and they are showing strong natural immunity, maybe that's why. Latest report from the mother in Law who works at Dinosaur market in HUA HIN, she just said minutes ago, she knows no-one with Omicron at the market, possibly I said to her, they don't know they had it, and she says no delta that she knows off, sounds encouraging as she said a few weeks ago stall holders were collapsing from delta so she stayed away for a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herd immunity gained from the very weak omicron variant but no one is listening in the government so they just continue to bark up the wrong tree every minute of the day.

mha noi Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Typical answers from the unaware or just plain ignorant posters. Alot of Farang expats work in Africa and do nothing but spend money in Thailand supporting the whole economy not just the tourism side of it ie. people with families, Alot of business people investing there also travelling to and from. If you fly from Africa to Thailand generally the MEDIA would class you as a tourist. Do some really think the local bicycle mechanic in the bush would bring his wife and ten kids on holiday to Thailand. I think its great news although, I'm on day 2 of 2 week quarantine arriving from Africa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
