thailand49 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Their economy is tanking right now it is their M.O. to make crazy predictions their white lies to put up a good front maybe the reason their baht the last week seem to be getting stronger instead of weaker?

International travel will probably be given a wide berth for quite a while unless a very effective vaccine is produced and readily available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Virt Posted April 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) I hope things are back to normal sooner than Oct 2021, but time will tell. Personally I can't wait to get back to Thailand, but I don't think I'm up for it until a vaccine is ready or maybe an antimatter (edit anti bodies?) test that shows you had covid 19 is enough. But there is a lot of questions before traveling again. I fear in the beginning that some people around the globe will have a hard time accepting tourists again.

Why are tourists going to come to Thailand so they can spend 14 days in forced quarantine. And... if they dont then Thailand Covid cases will skyrocket and the Chinese will stay away.

moe666 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Boys go back and read the article it says domestic flights will be the first to improve. Then the other 80 percent of there air travel which is asia pacific. I do not think they are to excited about those hot spots of the US, Europe, and the UK. But what can you expect from a westen leaning site, the world no longer revolves around the west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booboo101 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 There’s not a chance flights will be back to normal this year, many Airlines will go bust, those that don't will have to put prices up to claw back lost revenue, half the world will be in serious debt or one of millions out of work, and who will want to sit for 14 hours in a plane sat near total strangers and breathing in re-cycled air, not many I think ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 From the numbers of passengers and flights, it doesn't look like he's taken account of the fact that flights will be carrying 33% fewer passengers even when full due to removing the middle seat in each row for social distancing purposes. That in turn will increase air fares by at least 33%, even if the airlines don;t hike fares to try and recover some of the enormous losses they've sustained. Taken with the inevitable fact that most people are going to be quite a bit poorer in the future, and it doesn't bode well for the long-haul tourism industry.

sagra Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Man, I sure hope they let guys who have Thai wives and kids..... and who got stuck outside of Thailand, come in a lot sooner. I had the worst luck. The country was closed up 2 weeks before my flight. I married into a wonderful farm family last year; I had my Non-O visa (to covert to a Marriage extension/visa...which will expire in 3 weeks); I had money for the bank. I'm a healthy 74 and made all the arrangements in the US and Thailand to allow me to settle into an easy-going existence in the country I love,....with the family I love. Gotta be thankful for Line. We do video chats every morning and night, but it's tough for a passionate couple like us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
