ezzra Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 On the news yesterday, the powers that be will meet tomorrow 9.30 am to decide whether to ease the entry rules into Thailand or leave them as is, my money is on the positive outcome whereby they will do away with most if not all hurdles and cumbersome steps to visit Thailand...

Popular Post BangkokReady Posted April 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Hopefully they will see sense. The percentage of cases in incoming foreigners is very low. Thailand pass etc. really doesn't do anything other than put people off. They can't keep blaming foreigners for covid when the numbers are so high. If the numbers triple after Songkran, it will be even harder. While the rest of the world has been open for several months, they cannot keep the pretence up for much longer. People are starving. Zero covid countries are looking worse and worse internationally. Thailand Pass/Test and Go = closed, and they cannot stay closed for another six months.

Thailand Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) And the odds on them removing test on arrival are not good. Whatever they do it is probably too late to save yet another year. Too much adverse publicity and the majority of those prepared to take long haul flights will choose other destinations.

internationalism Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 already from today they have extended thailand pass entry to 7 days prior and after date. But the ATK will still require hotel booking (at least in bangkok) - they are not able to organise ATK's at the airport itself, too many people. However, smaller and less busy airports might do it there and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultName Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 My opinion; they'll postpone a decision until the post-Songkran figures come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvoc Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It will be interesting for sure. Thailand is not alone in keeping some restrictions - other countries have a "Thailand Pass" type of pre-entry form as well. I'm sure the test on arrival will remain in some form, and that makes sense to me. I'm planning a trip in June and I'm not expecting substantial relaxation of the rules before then.

AgMech Cowboy Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 They need to stop all the <deleted> at the airport. Loading you on buses to take you to the F concourse so you can walk all the way to the Immigration booth. STUPID!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been convoluted from the start and attempting to disguise their tomfoolery with upgrades, revisions and fix-it measures is pathetic at best.

internationalism Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 buses in airport transport don't have anything to do with covid restrictions. There is some other reason. Happen to me many times on arrival as well as on departure. fly more, swear less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 The thread is from Monday. I read that tomorrow (Thursday April 21) the Department of Disease Control will meet. They give proposals based on expert/medical assessment. On Friday(!) "the powers that be" (CCSA) will meet. Led by big wise man Mr. P. Cross your fingers that they do not again use the sledgehammer to crash any hope for easing of rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
