[Entry requirements / protocols after July 1st for unvaccinated traveler?]

2 hours ago, BritTim said:

There are certainly those who cannot be vaccinated because of their medical status. In virtually every such case, it would be folly for such persons to travel because of their medical status.

 

To be honest, while I consider those who are unvaccinated by choice to be misguided, there is less reason for them to be discriminated against on entry than during delta and earlier waves. New variants will almost certainly arrive in Thailand through the vaccinated even if unvaccinated are excluded. Vaccination provides only limited protection against infection with recent variants. Sure, the unvaccinated are more likely to become seriously ill, but that is not a major overall public health consideration. Those who smoke tobacco are more likely to suffer strokes and heart attacks, but we do not exclude them from Thailand on that basis.

It does not matter if you are vaccinated you can still get covid and can still pass covid on and can still die from covid so why get vaccinated in the 1st place ????? Am I one of millions with common sense

You are a perfect example of why Thailand thinks it needs silly rules.

Only if you think you think it's best to follow silly government rules , masks have been proved by scientists that they don't stop you getting covid so why bother wearing them , what a silly idea it was

How can they have been admitted to the country and passed the insurance screening process if the insurance becomes invalid if only asymptomatic.  Oh wait that is right most insurances will not pay for non-treatment.

I think what they are saying is that insurance companies won't pay for tourists in hospital that's why the tourists won't go , I could have read it wrong but hey ho.

My personal opinion is that these antivaxers are just a bunch of selfish people, without a thought for their family members, kids, frontline staff and hospitals, who will have to accommodate them, tying up beds and equipment from others who may need them, from unrelated diseases and putting more financial burden on the healthcare system resources.  I can not believe i'm agreeing with A-Nut-In government although i think it was a spin doctor who told him what to say, he is right.

 

You should read up on the vaccine , if you are double vaccinated you can still spread the covid virus , you can still get covid and you can still die from covid so double vaccinated must be selfish then in your view.

You have to ask the question, why would anyone want to come, when it is going to involve additional insurance expense, aggravation and stress just getting in, when there isn't any entertainment open and you can't enjoy a beer as you try to unwind?

Lets not forget the proposed 500 Baht entry tax from the New Year adding to the list of negatives.

It is obviously better than it was, but places with less or no restrictions are going to look far more attractive.

It will be interesting to hear the latest tourist number projections from TAT and then see how that fares against reality down the track a little.

 

Because they want sex , but it will cost , pcr test , antigen tests , hotel for 1 night , traveling after 7 days pcr tests and again on arrival , I'm counting at least 5 pcr tests , insurance and hotel quarentine , 1900 pcr x 5 = 9500bt + 20000 bt insurance + 2000 1 night quarentine + if you want to travel again another 2  or 3 pcr or rapid tests , a roundabout cost of 35,000 bt + accomodation for 2 weeks 10,000 bt  and that's before you start on the food and women bar fines and rip offs .

So who is going to pay 1,000 uk pounds to start with extra just to come for 2 weeks + flights , women and food and drink .

I'm not worried about covid as I had it already and got antibodies against covid now with papers from hospital to prove it , so I am immune against covid take no notice what papers or government say , when you got antibodies against covid you are immune for life , you have probably got antibodies now go check , authorities are just letting in fully vaccinated people those people can spread the virus  , they can get the virus and they can die from the virus it makes me laugh just letting in people who can do that , while natural immune people and unvaccinated cannot come it should be the other way round .

There again.......I may not!  Depends on how many times they change their minds re. quarantine etc etc really!

what makes me laugh is thailand to allow fully vaccinated people in as if they are not going to spread the virus or get the virus which fully vaccinated people can still spread the virus and fully vaccinated can still get the virus so what's the difference between fully vaccinated been let in and non vaccinated been let in ? The answer is NOTHING THE unvaccinated also could have proof of being naturally immune to the virus by having antibodies against covid by already of had the virus and now recovered from covid and now not got covid , NATURAL IMMUNITY HAVING ANTIBODIES AGAINST COVID IS HIGHER IMMUNITY THAN VACCINE , AND THE VACCINE ONLY LASTS 6 MONTHS NOT LIKE NATURAL IMMUNITY THAT LASTS FOR YEARS AND ALSO FUGHTS VARIENTS. THEY SHOULD BE ALOWWING IN UNVACCINATED NATURAL IMMUNITY PEOPLE LIKE ME.

No mention of natural immunity with your own antibodys which I have and it is better immunity than the vaccine and my antibodys last for at least 20 years , but the vaccine only lasts 6 months , then you will be getting another and another and another   .... etc , I have paperwork proof from a top hospital in thailand I got antibodys but yet am not accepted . But yet double vaccinated people can still spread the virus  , does not make sense and is discriminatory against naturally immune people. And needs changing as we are better immunized than vaccinated people.
