The Thais knew what they were dealing with and responded appropriately. Yes, some foreigners would have respected the self isolation requirements and yes some have legitimate reasons to return, Unfortunately, there are alsoforeigners up to no good without the financial means or health insurance to take care of themselves. Some would not have respected the self isolation. Thailand did not have the means or resources to manage that exposure. Because of a few duds, everyone will suffer. And please, no lectures on how this is unfair when we see in the forums the stories of how some farangs play the system and cheat. Sorry to the many people who are suffering, but this is the cost of tolerating scum who are often excused away as poor hard done folk. All it takes is a few selfish gits landing from Italy, Russia, USA. UK to spread death and disease. So what about the THOUSANDS of selfish "Easterners" spreading death and disease - are you forgetting where this disease originated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were "found to be infected" because they were Actually Tested. This bug spreads like crazy, which is why every large-scale testing has shown much greater community spread than initially thought. Thank goodness it is only harmful to a tiny percentage of the population. Can you imagine if it was H5N1 - having a 60% mortality-rate - with those virus-spikes (ACE2 receptor-adapted) on it - as was demonstrated in a published study? Guards you having a laugh and its not just about people outside the facilty , You have no concern for the people inside the facility such as staff and other guests that are staying there as part of quarantine There have been people that have tested negative or arrival at the airport but a few days later have been tested postive I have no issue with foreigners returning but there should be a pecking order 1) All Thai nationals 2) Once all Thai nationals that want to return then existing long term visa holders that wish to reunite with their families Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only realised yesterday that Australians have to apply for permission to leave Australia now. I thought it was the level 4 advisory, but you have to apply for a exemption to leave. And it must be shown at airport departure. My defacto wife of 7 years is stuck in the village after her mother died mid March. I had been in Australia when the fires were on and was heading back to Thailand and my partner when Thai airways cancelled the flights. March 25th. I'm stuck here. She is in her village alone. Hopefully Thai airways will be operating still as I have a credit for the flight on hold. Hopefully the Thailand government will see sense in flights between low risk countries first. And hopefully from Australia the permission to leave Australia will be granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 4 hours ago, bbi1 said: Is there any restrictions in place saying Thai nationals aren't allowed to fly out to be with their spouses in the spouses country? Currently, there are no flights out for anyone but there is flights in for Thai citizens only. So Thailand should at least allow flights out at least until the Pandemic improves which will be a long time for certain countries. My predictions are: April, May, June - no flights in for all foreigners July, Aug. - flights in for low risk countries (at the moment is China and South Korea) If your country is on the high risk list, you will have to wait a long time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depend on which country their spouse is, different country have different list of countries that are allowed in. Most countries would allow Thai citizens in due to the very low rate of infection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other guests that staying in the facility as part of quarantine and hotels only that have working cameras on all floors and entry/exits points with an auditable card key room access system in place and approved by the relevant Goverment dept.

P100 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Separation at borders happened/happens in Germany too. After restrictions have been tightened, I was allowed to enter the country with German passport, my non-German wife sitting next to me was stopped. So we both had to drive around looking for another border crossing which we found at midnight after trying at 5 different places. I can ask why my wife poses an intolerable risk while I pose a tolerable risk, we both live together and are both sick or healthy.... I had the right to cross the border because German nationals have a strong right to enter but so do also spouses, they too have a strong right because the protection and unification of families is a human right and is protected by basic law. So what can you expect from a Thailand, a 3rd world country with military government without a working judicial system and with no respect for human rights or the people's basic needs when even true and solid democracies fail to do it well enough...

Why is that ok for you? Why would a Thai present any less risk than a foreigner? So.. is it only foreigners you want to prevent from entering Thailand, or everyone? Think about that and work out if you are being a little sanctimonious or just cold, or both. Interesting, where did you get October from? - Thats another 5 months with no incoming flights? or just no incomming tourists? or no incoming Western tourists? You could be right, but why October and not November, or September? what thought process? The majority of the major airlines are set to resume flights from June and others from early July. Qatar, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qantas, even Thailand National carrier Thai airways has flights scheduled for July on some sites. Maybe wishful thinking? But These airlines know something that maybe we don't yet.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P100 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 What do you expect from an incompetent military givernment? To have people's needs at heart?? With badmouth Anoutin taking every chance to bash foreigners in his endless hate?? They hate us so much that they even let their own Thai people suffer just to keep us, (according Anoutin) not showering dirty farangs away. They don't care about ripped apart families, they don't care about mamas and children struggeling to survive without their dads. But I know, soon they will open the borders. Unfortunately only for Chinese. To flood in and buy Thailand. Farangs will still have to wait until they can prove that they take showers regularly... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
