Thailand has been very fortunate with Covid and to let anyone in who has a few bucks more than average early seems like asking for trouble.

People with money have already paid for their stay in Thailand before they have stepped out of their own home. Air Fare, Hotel including food , transport. I've spoken to many in the Hilton who are quiet happy to have a quiet two of three week by the sea.

I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

It would be funny if it wasn't true!!!????????????

[dave moir]

If I was a big spender with a private plane I don't think Thailand would be high on my list of places to visit!

[GWS]

No plans for letting Privilege Entry visa holders back in the country?

[HenryPattaya]

So thats the cure for Corona if you rich you can not have it 

[GaryAdriaenssens]

So now we see once more what is important for these clowns in power here! So the high spenders won't carry the bloody virus at all...? Hypocrites at large. ????

[lensta]

Delusional

[mberbae]

How many High Spenders are we talking about that will fly in on private jets ?

15 - 20 ?  And how will that affect the common worker in Thailand who need

income the most ??

Right now is the time for anyone already in Thailand to take advantage of incredible deals on hotel rooms. I got 80% off at the place I stay at here in Bangkok.

That is real indicator how much government think about lower class people, and i guess the words of CP billionaire owner became truth, its no secret and is obvious who are in real control of Thailand.

So true. The lower class people or rather their children are back to school and learning what , nothing much as they should know there position in life. The elite are in charge of the country and they don't want this to change.

[toofarnorth]

Anyone going to bring Trump into the equation ?

[ginjag]

They will flock to the sales in Malls,  to get UP TO 70% off   but asking about the 70%  the shop said yes but that one item was sold now we offer 15-20%  lol

It's just a high spender confirming there are bargains for those with an entourage.

And then - back to closing the bars and restaurants again?

You ask any local girl. People with loadsa dosh can come as quickly as they like.

[ronaldo0]

So the rich are looking after themselves. If they let people in to the country that arrive in private jets they ain’t going to be staying at your average hotel or going to a average restaurant. They will be staying at high end places and eating in high end restaurants owned by the already rich in Thailand !! Money goes to money !

[terminatorchiangmai]

Time to build an extra airport quick.

[natway09]

So the Covid machine transporters are about to arive 

[PEE TEE]

Sheer desperation .What makes them think that super rich would want to come here/ i bet the quarantine rules would not apply as rich people are virus free hahaha 

Money money money please come and spend your wealth her in Amazing Thailand   

[Parsve]

555. Dreamers. And those so called high-spenders, how do you know that they are going to spend very much? Should they fill in a document telling how much they plan to spend and before they leave declare it and the eventually minus they have to pay to PM? And by the way, it is not so expensive to hire a pilot and a sport plane to fly from for instance Cambodja and cross the Thai border even me, who is a cheap Charlie could, afford that 

[Mr Grumpy]

Myopic as usual. What about the thousands of 'stranded residents' of Thailand, who are not of Thai nationality, who are effectively barred fro m returning to their wives and children in Thailand through unnecessary and I'll thought out 'required' documentation, tests and bureaucracy in Bangkok? How about letting them (us) return? Rich people flying in and spending money? Don't make me laugh. I'm currently in the process of building a large house/pool etc near Trang which I expect to cost IRO 3,000,000 baht. This employs 7 plus people and would do for about 3 months. That's all about to grind to a halt while we consider bringing my wife and son to the UK. Bibi Thailand, your life blood is draining. My apologies to the lovely Thai people who are actually appalled at what their government is doing to us. They're the ones who are really suffering  

[mikecha]

The real information to all the people who realy want to come back here  has not been written 

 

The things that u must do to get here is a big thing    100000usd health insurance 

Letter from thai embassy /consulate saying  are aloud to go  

20000 baht on arrival  old rule 

health certificate fit to fly  no older than 72 hours  

 

many many are still shut out of thailand want to come back to there hiuse family life and whatever els they lhave here but can not

now they talk this noncense about wealthy private jets coming in  wealthy people ?

 

well my thaughts are with all the expats that have contributed so much here in beer money food money family support ,house building ect ect 

 

wealthu private charters will bring this covis 19 back  i realy hope not 

 

we are now in the process of moving out  no   more visa issues no more 800000 bank  

 

no more 9o days 

and listening to the wealthy  have a better preference 

 

The people that stay here are the wealthy that give much and put up with al this sillyness and just get on with it     good luck to all

You should just keep a copy a paste headline facility entitled " Another official announces the first thing that pops into his head" ???? 

[chilli42]

I am not sure about the wealthy but you would need to be a complete moron to want to spend time in Thailand under current conditions.
