Magenta408 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 A second wave of the flu is burping up here and there in China. If these "tourists" have to self quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, I doubt they will get the numbers the want. The second wave will eventually creep into our vocabulary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secosteve Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 A simple case of putting money before people's safety. China has just closed down another city because of a spike of infections and this clown wants to open he country up to them, this would set Thailand back after all the good work.

Yorkshire Tea Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Probably safer to concentrate on domestic tourism for now, & businesses producing goods for export. If another wave arrives from outside Thailand, it's back to square one with another lockdown. And get the kids back to school. Imported infections will scupper that.

Surasak Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Sorry I can't give a proper link to this, but gov.uk/topic/health/protection/infectious diseases states 'As of 19th March 2020, COVID 19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease'. Thats the best I can read of a photo of an official UK HCID. See the attached and see what you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta408 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Will Anuteen who has gone remarkably quiet these days, be on site to hand over virus masks to these elite tourists?

Honestly I have the money to ride out a skirmish. I have zero debt and a good sized bank account and money on hand. With the skirmish can come peace of mind to Taiwan and all of the countries who the Chinese in the SE China Asian sea are bullying. I would love to see Tibet let free too. there is a price to pay for freedom against bullies sometimes.

Caldera Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I think China still quarantines Chinese who come back from a trip abroad. Unless that changes as well, it's unlikely that many Chinese will come to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in a similar situation - thankfully, but having worked in China for many years I don't want to see needless slaughter that war would bring, the "Chinese" people are just like us to a large extent, slaves for a regime, the regime in China is the (minority) CCP (ruling Political party), the average Chinese are not high ranking party members and are used and abused at will, they would be the cannon fodder that you would like to see in a "skirmish", to bring peace to the mentioned nations & piece of mind to your good-self ????

Correct All policy after January 23 were revised. If you have an annual policy pre that date, possibilities are you will be covered. A thai friend suggested AXA would issue a monthly coverage policy. I've said it many times on here why don't the government issue insurance coverage in the ticket tax price? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Will Set You Free Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thailand rely on tourist. The Chinese will come but they will not spend money at they stated. The Koreans will come but as long as they have problems in their country they will not come in waves just to play golf. The Western countries are the money making countries. They spend money when they come. Look at the expat they have here now. Giving out what little money they have and the Thai don’t give a damn about you. No money, No honey is their motto. So to sum it up, what does Thailand have other than sex bars. If it was not for the bars in this country, why would anyone want to visit other than playing golf?

They spend for their rooms and not much else. Bad move. You certainly don't see them openly spending their money because they are on package tours. However they certainly splash out on the duty free when departing. XO cognac, smokes. This is where the government actually records the big spending. King Power...
