Maybe the Thai tourist market to Singapore isn't that significant? Just look at the pre-Covid fourteen daily SQ, TR and JQ flights from Singapore to Bangkok versus the two daily TG flights from Bangkok to Singapore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The below images were taken earlier this week on Bangsaen Beach by blogger Richard Barrow (@richardbarrow). Those scores of wealthy private jet owners soon to flood the country will be delighted to know. "Amazing Trusted Thailand", indeed. With currently no "dirty farang tourists" gracing the realm, I wonder who could be responsible for this disgusting mess. It also will be most interesting to see whether Richard is going to be hit with a defamation lawsuit for unduly having "soiled" (sorry for the pun) Thailand's and Bangsaen's oh so clean (sorry again) and precious image. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a dozen good reasons why they would choose to go elsewhere. Not gonna affect the bottom like much. Another far fetched and extremely desperate attempt to clutch straws.

Phaser Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I don’t blame the govt. they are just logically taking the low risk low hanging fruit - they have effectively a Covid free nation.

Taiwan has handled things superbly and they class Thailand as a low risk country and are allowing business travelers from Thailand to apply for a permit to enter Taiwan. I trust their CDCC assessment of the situation here. I think we are very safe here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomacht8 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Good news. Suvarnabhumi, armed with Covid-19 lab, is ready for foreign arrivals. The lab is equipped to conduct polymerase chain reaction [PCR] tests, which provides up to 95 per cent accurate result within 90 minutes,” he said. We have also turned the area near gates D3 and D4 into waiting rooms with restrooms and facilities for passengers waiting for test results. Seats have been kept socially distant, while the room will be regularly cleaned.” Now information about costs and test capacities are still missing. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30390747?utm_source=bottom_relate&utm_medium=internal_referral Edited July 3, 2020 by tomacht8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermin on arrival Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 2 hours ago, NanLaew said: FYI, on 17 June, Singapore opened a fast-track, non-quarantine visitor channel for foreigners from Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Mainland China, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. They have also initiated a 'fast lane' for residents in China who need to make essential business or official travel between Singapore and the six fast lane regions in China (Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Tianjin and Zhejiang). That sounds like a sensible policy. There should be monitored travel between nations that have the pandemic under control. Travel should be opened up between them with sensible precautions. This idea that there should be no travel because we may have a few cases of covid is nonsense. Much more is known about the disease now and policies are in place or can be put in place to make sure that there is no large spread of the disease. All the so called second waves in China, Korea and Germany are being handled. Let's begin a rational opening up of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphus Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Does anyone remember the crazed religious cult in South Korea that were going around spreading the virus after they all self infected themselves and then walk around cities infecting everybody else ! What stops people doing this now !! No matter when any country opens up, there is an ongoing risk to everybody everyday until a vaccine is developed. Time has come for countries to open or face complete economic collapse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rucker4012 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Parking private jets is a problem. Phuket had a plan to open a private jet terminal. Don't know if that ever happened. Most Intl airports have no provision for overnight pkg much less weekly spots. If Thailand ever opened up civil aviation like the marine industry, thousands of jobs would be created. Thailand would not accept my USA license unless signed by FAA Administrator. All FAA license are online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
