Glad we brought our vax cards so Cambodia should let us come back in.  I can say I haven't missed the Chinese tourists this past month. 

Some people are  going to have to figure this out.  What if I was unvaxed or no records on hand and  spending a few day in a nearby country as part of my vacation. If flight back was Tuesday what then.   Unvaxed people who have non changeable flights after Monday?

Breaking: Thailand Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation Authority Releases to Airlines New Entry Requirements Effective From January 9th

Thailand has released new entry requirements this weekend to airlines, as originally stated as being proposed by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul earlier this week.

 

It was originally believed that the Thai Cabinet would debate the proposals next week, however, it now appears the new entry requirements have gone directly through the Ministry of Transport and CAAT, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand to be sent to airlines, to take effect as soon as possible. Multiple foreign airlines have reportedly already confirmed the new order.

Thaipbsworld, either their own website or their twitter account, is the best source for official information (being a public service broadcaster):

555. I have never heard some of the vaccines listed.  One starts with "Shenzen??".  Ah, so pretty much any Covid Vaccine is acceptable. Also, the Sputnick Vaccine is approved as to not upset our friend Vlad and his people.

"Non-Thai passengers arriving from countries which refuse entry to infected people must have taken out COVID insurance, valid throughout their stay in Thailand plus seven days, before their departure for Thailand. "

Which are the countries which refuse entry to infected people?

G'day 

 

I wonder wether the new entry rules would be extended to quarantine and vaccination for those w.o. vaccination yet. Could be another income source.

 

Cheers

Nice of them to give a whole two day warning 🙄

Right, so if you have already made a booking to fly to Thailand,on Jan 10th say have no vaccinations, what do you do? No time to get vaccinated, so do you need a PCR test before traveling?

You'd have to cancel the trip.  Unless you have a vaccination exemption letter.  There is currently no option of submitting a negative test result.

From the article:

"3. Thai Citizens with a Thai passport are exempt from all vaccination and insurance requirements."

 

So Thais do not need to show proof of vaccination? I understand the no insurance requirements!

So whats the point, if any?

They can't refuse entry to their own citizens!
