Covid rampant, but that's OK cos its omicron, but entertainment venues have to open under mindless rules? Welcome to Thailand folks. "Anutin - not actually a medical man - gave the assembled press a brief sermon on why Songkran is important, the spread of infectious diseases, preventative measures and the like." So, if he's not actually a medical man, what gives him the right to preach about medical subjects? And as per usual part of his "speech" is bound to be controversial to get himself noticed and talked about:- "Bars and clubs will have to open as restaurants for the time being."

Popular Post geoffrobbo Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 TAT predicts 8M visitors, Anutin says no entertainment. So why will they come. More likely they will go to Vietnam. TAT needs to talk to Anutin before issuing optimistic predictions. Anutin will soon stop all that 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paul Henry Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 The Thai Pass continues killing the incentive for tourists. The scam on insurance must be protected. When applying for Covid cover the insurance companies do not ask the vaccination status of the applicant. I will have had 2 Covid vaccinations and 2 boosters by the time I fly to Thailand. My friend who is leaving several days after is not vaccinated yet his insurance is the same price as mine when the risk facters are polls apart. How can they justify that. Just another scam. Get rid of the hinderance to tourism call the Thai Pass. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) This is the clearest indication yet that the government is determined to close down the section of the Thai entertainment industry that has attracted millions to the country for decades. Omicron is on the rise but the health minister has said that, although the country can cope, bars/gogos can only open as restaurants. Thailand excels at not actually banning something as such, but instead makes it impossible to exist by the rules it imposes.

The sooner we get everyone boosted, the sooner we get through this. As for the selfish Westerners who want the Thai government to drop all the mandates, they are not thinking of the safety of the Thai people, they are only thinking of themselves. Most of, if not all, the tourists coming in to Thailand have had more jabs each than the local population has! Jabbing them again won't make a blind bit of difference because: we already know that, vaccinated or not, you can still catch, and spread, Covid 19 strains to get a Thai Pass you have to prove you have had at least 2 vaccinations being tested on arrival means you are finding any carriers/infected on arrival. Now that the dominant strain is Omicron (which has less severe symptoms than seasonal flu for most) far better to let it run it's course. Thai news is big on listing how many foreigners arriving are infected. To be honest, I'd love it if the system was in place that everyone was tested on departure from their home country, shown clear, came here then got tested on arrival back in their home country and the Thai media report on how many came here uninfected and returned home and tested positive. Covid 19 (Omicrom variants) is here to stay, just like measles, Rubella, chicken pox and all manner of diseases that are endemic worldwide. The sooner Anutin accepts that Omicon is NOT Ebola and lets everywhere reopen and people get back to a normal life the better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChrisKC Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 So the two accompanying Headlines for today are involving one man, Khun Anutin saying a continuation of no realistic entertainment and next door to him the TAT man saying there will be 8 million visitors for the rest of this year. Why will they come with any kind of limitations of entry, and if in fact they happen to materialise, what will they do when they get here? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, lots of the entertainment venues are open in Pattaya but there's always the chance of being had over (owners and customers) by the BiB if they fancy it as they're not legally open. I'll be giving it a miss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the selfish Westerners who want the Thai government to drop all the mandates, they are not thinking of the safety of the Thai people, they are only thinking of themselves. COVID is rampant in Thailand. Can you honestly say all the "restaurants" are following the COVID regulations, social distancing, masks, limiting numbers. What the officials spew out is just to look good on the world stage. From what I gather it's nearly business as usual in most "restaurants" apart from closing times and I know that is not been adhered to in a lot of establishments. Every day that passes with the restrictions, testing and paperwork for incoming "tourists" is business lost to other countries with the risk people find a better country to holiday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
