  1. "On Sunday, the Department of Disease Control (DDC) said that a total of 20,092 tourists had entered the country since November 1, the day when Thailand reopened 17 provinces to fully vaccinated travelers. Of those, just 15 had tested positive for COVID-19, accounting for approximately 0.07 per cent of all arrivals." Hmmm, another article I saw said the people testing +ve were all unvaccinated and untested prior to travelling = Thai nationals, if they are untested and un vaccinated they are not tourists, they are returning Thais. It would be intersting to see a breakdown of the arrivals to see exactly how many are actual "tourists", (i.e. holidaymakers) and how many are "tourists" (i.e. expats who've lived here for years but are still classed as tourists, and always will be, by the government.) and how many were returning Thai nationals. But I guess while I wait I'll count all the stars in the universe as that answer will probably be reached quicker.
  2. Even fewer will cover if you have tested negative but are forced into quarantine because of contact tracing.
  3. It doesn't help that of the 7000 there will be a large number who are not "tourists" per se but returning expats.
  4. True, but one would expect the Health Ministry to at least have created an FAQs sheet for the embassies as this is not an unexpected question to come up and therefore some level of information should be reasonably expected. If the testing on arrival was dropped it might be less of an issue but no one wants to spend good money on traveling to Thailand (having done the obligatory hoop jumping) only to either test positive on arrival, or worse still, have been sat near someone on the flight who tested positive and find the money they shelled out for a hotel is wasted because the government has shoved them in a hospitel that their insurance may not cover as they themselves hav tested negative for Covid. It is not too much to ask that the ministry provide information to the embassies to deal with enquiries of this........oh hang on though.......it's a Thai government ministry, they probably don't know themselves yet!
  5. Ha Ha HA HA!! Have you forgotten where you are? If they cant even keep track of how many houses and high end cars their own officers have how would they possibly manage to install facial recognition software AND link to every database. I love the way nabbing a numpty who decided not to renew his visa is "keeping Thailand safe". It's not like he was roaming the countryside slaughtering people or peddling drugs, he just decided not to go through the hassle of photocopying every documant he's ever owned to get a stamin his passport.
  6. Nah, they'll just go onto a two and a quarter day week to stretch it out for the whole month.
