The countries mentioned are not covid free for 30 days, China, Japan and South Korea are having outbreaks at present. It also said the trips would be for 6/7 days, not worth it even for tourists from those countries. At least the graphic acknowledges the attraction of Pattaya is pole dancing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's aimed at the PRC tourists, UK and EU will have Thailand on the safe countries list, but they are not going to allow us in lol. Most countries are turning their backs on the Chinese apart from Thailand, says it all really. Who are most? “Most” countries are still not allowing anyone in yet.

jojothai Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) "The “travel bubbles” will cover countries at low-risk of Covid-19 contagion, while the tourists would be allowed to travel on specific Thai routes or itineraries booked through small agencies" This appears to state that you have to fly "THAI" or book through the small travel agencies. What nonsense. Thats just a plan to get tourists to finance "THAI" ,or selected agencies, and those behind the scheme. Its a Cunning plan Baldrick.

Caldera Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 That sounds neither practical nor fun, they basically want to imprison those valued travelers at a resort. I wonder how many takers there will be, but then again, they only plan to let 1000 people in per day anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think China will be an interesting case, because perhaps it'll only be Chinese citizens from certain provinces even though that's not listed in this article. Its just my speculation, but it makes sense. There's an agreement for more tourists from China, and much of the country is virus free as far as we know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new Swine Flu like virus now in China....honestly, are the some of the leaders in BKK on the payroll of the CCP or is is just some sort of mental deficiency? Why EVER invite the Chinese back...? It started in 1957 with the Asian flu from China. Then China proceeded to give the world the Hong Kong Flu (which actually came from Chian), the bird flu, the swine flu, SARS and the CCP Wuhan Coronavirus. GET SERIOUS...ask the Thai people how they feel about the Chinese....if you dare. It's hasn't been transmitted to humans yet. So no idea what you are going on about other than to look for excuses to say China Bad. Edited July 3, 2020 by shdmn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Laos won't be. Laos will be much like North Korea. China will have a lot of influence, it will probably be a complete puppet state, allowing China to do things it wants to do but using Laos as a puppet to do them, leaving China without blame. Thailand will continue to have increased control from China but unless the world falls into hot war (entirely likely) it will always be allowed to retain a facade of autonomy. It's more useful to China that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patts Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) It seems like perfectly common sense to allow China back first. The country that arguably created Coronavirus, then tried to cover it up for two months and told the WHO it had no human to human transmission. China's production and output is nearly back to normal and they are the only country forecast to have economic growth this year, while the rest of the world has been thrusted into recession. Why would Thailand invite them back first? Wouldn't possibly be because China are by far Thailands biggest investor Edited July 3, 2020 by Patts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be reciprocal, and has to agreed to by all other countries in the bubble. So I really doubt China will be included. Singapore, Japan, HK, Korea, and EU are more likely.
