These new controlling tools they now freshly have acquired in their possession are the very unique opportunity they have been actively been seeking, wanting, needing for years and years to control and curtail it all.

Canadian hitmen scoff at these "controls".

 

 

thailand needs to get back to suckling at the teat of the foreign tourist. 

 

They might keep a pre-departure COVID negative test, vaccination proof and insurance in place. All the other stuff: Day 1 & DAY 5, Thaialnd Pass/Test&Go/QR, will be dropped. Insurance will be dropped a bit farther out.

Improve it by getting rid of it.

and please get rid of those masks outside and on motorbike, they does not protect anything and anybody and are often placed under the nose! 

If you want tourism resumes as before, follow some EU countries like Denmark, UK, France, and more are returning to a normal life like before covid! It's time to wake up come on! Covid has turned to inoffensive variants, less severe and less dangerous than the common flu..!

Who is writing the scripts for these Idiots.

Dont they realize yet, the main hurdle for the Tourists is the prospect of Covid Jail after a 5th Day Test being positive.

[the green light]

this new scheme is like beating a dead horse. It won't matter

They do not need to improve the time because they will not be a lot of  demand for this system.

 

Just imagine a happy traveler to Thailand will need to take 3 PCR test and wait 5 days for the result. If any of the test detected to be positive, be assured you will be dragged to the hospital for 7 days at a cost of Bht10,000/day... This happy traveler has burnt already 12 days of his vacation between quarantine and hospital .What beach can he enjoy ? and no honey to be with for the night?

 

I would love to see his face if he is still smiling.

 

why would any visitor will go through this hassle .? why people insists on visiting Thailand under these circumstances.?

Singapore is going down to one rapid test on arrival for vaccinated travellers from 21 Feb.

No quarantine

One must read between the line for going to Thailand.

 

1.Pre-departure PCR test--->OK no problem

 

2. PCR test on arrival -NO need for vaccinated visitor. only an antigen test is enough

 

3. Insurance_ useless - it does not cover quarantine in a hospital but just medical treatment. so if you pay Bht 10,000 / day --you won't get it back.

added to the cost = $300 ins + hospital $2,100 

 

4. No need any testing after 5 days

 

5. App to track you....OK if there is no test..

 

any scheme set up will work for people returning to Thailand or planning to stay for more than 60 days. Otherwise it is not worth it to visit Thailand now.

Fully vaccinated foreign tourists can now enter the Philippines starting February 10. Main requirements include: acceptable proof of vaccination, valid return tickets, passport valid for at least six months, and insurance with a minimum coverage of USD 35,000.00

 

And even this vaccin bs has to get rid of the list. What about people who had their shots about 4/ months ago? The vaccin will not have its function anymore. Then ask for a booster over and over again? Dont think that will work. A test must be enough if they stay in the scared mode.

They will follow them, no doubt when it comes to lifting restrictions... but that would not be yet would it? Thankfully Thailand overall did far better than any of the countries you cited, Denmark had over 2x the per capita Covid deaths, France and UK, well over 6x.

As we speak another data leak from thailand pass. This time spoofed email is not trojan, but disclosure of personal info. Somehow they cant connect stolen emails to names. 

This is already a third email to my box within 10 days. They come to my box, not to spam folder, as I have already got emails from the real true thailand pass so gmail still doesnt recognise it as spam. 
"Th system noticed some problems in the documents you submitted to the embassy

 You should correct some information so that you are not held responsible by the government

Please reply to this message and write the following information

1.  

   1. Your full name
   2. Date of birth
   3. Last 4 digits of the passport 

2.  

We apologize for any inconvenience caused

Best regards, THA PASS".

 

possible that is a leak which richard barrow referred to yesterday and was mentioned here earlier. 
thai government cant protect personal data being constantly leaked to criminals. 
some suspect its an inside job. Some IT guy selling all data

I didn't see any improvements--just more rearranging of the deck chairs.

It e we I’ll always be a hassle because it’s the military mindset…control????????????

[geisha]

Clear as mud ! 
i don’t know why they can’t do away with a TP, ask for hotel reservation 3 days with PCR test , insurance , all in 2 documents. Show at check in at home with your PCR test, and basta.

Now What?...more changes...more confusion...When will this nightmare end!!!

Waiting to see who blinks first.

Narrator: Improvements were not made....it still sucked.

[Seppius]

The original TP was ok as a temporary measure, but the 5th day test has now killed the already fragile tourism again, risks are too high with the infectious Omicron

That may have been entirely a function of climate, and the integrity or lack thereof of reporting. Hopefully we will someday have a better idea.

At least someone who gets it.

 

After the next elections, we shall see. Until then? Nah, not happening. Those in control at the top of the food chain are lining up their pockets.

I would suggest that the results of the next elections are already known. They are only having elections as a public relations exercise to both their population and to the world.  They have already determined the winners!

Form that article:

 

The new measure means that most arrivals not under the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) scheme will face a seven-day isolation requirement, regardless of which country they are from.

 

 

Short Term Visitors (STV) have some extra requirements too.

 

https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/travel-checklist

 

Quite a lengthy checklist.

 

[Short Term Visitors] Purchase travel insurance with a minimum coverage of S$30,000 against COVID-19 related medical charges. Travellers may be insured with a Singapore or overseas-based insurer. For the list of available travel insurance products offered in Singapore

 

It always sounds so easy in other countries, until you peek under the covers.

Just carry lots of money for when you test positive … it will be handier if you divide into 2 piles for officials convenience 5555555

No Quarantine in Australia for international tourist or returning residents. Only need to be fully Vaccinated. 

Come on Thailand get with the program. 

For the fully-vaccinated, there's been no quarantine in Canada since at least October, 2021, and only a pre-flight PCR test to show. In Toronto, masks were optional on the street, with most people not wearing any.

 

But starting Feb. 28, 2022, no PCR tests needed, only an antigen test 24 hours before your initial flight. So in short, arrive in Canada and carry on life. 

 

 

Did you hear that Thailand?

Why do you believe Thailand's figures on anything?

Their pure fantasy.

You only have to look at the daily testing cases reported versus what's really going on.

Yet you come on the forum cheerleading everyday.

Thailand don't even have 30% of their population boosted.
