Popular Post webfact Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 Gov’t seeking reopening guidelines balancing safety, and economics BANGKOK(NNT) - The Prime Minister has ordered related agencies to devise guidelines allowing foreign nationals to enter the kingdom under strict measures mandated by the CCSA, while the government is seeking to raise public confidence following a COVID-19 scare in Rayong last month, by holding a mobile Cabinet meeting there on 24-25 August. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul, announced that the Prime Minister has ordered the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and the Ministry of Public Health to find ways to safety allow foreign nationals to enter the country, in order to allow economic activities to proceed. The initiative to allow foreign nationals to enter the country will be focused first on trade persons conducting business negotiations, as well as technicians and installers of specific machinery, whose visits are generally short and less than the 14-day quarantine period. An allowance of limited international arrivals must ensure public safety and help stimulate local economies, and strike a balance acceptable to all sides, without raising complaints of unfair treatment among people required to enter 14-day quarantine. The DPM and Public Health Minister also disclosed that the Cabinet will be holding a mobile meeting in Rayong on 24-25 August, in an attempt to boost public confidence in the province. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-08-06 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Berti Posted August 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 Slowly they seem to understand that being No. 1 in Covid-protection is not sustainable for an economy. A gold medal without a huge prize money does not feed millions of people. They lost a lot of time to build up the infrastructure to contain ongoing virus infections. They only now establish PCR-test labs in each province, hard to believe. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grumpy John Posted August 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 As much as I would like to return to Australia to see my kids and grand kids the 14 day quarantine on return, even if in a luxury hotel paid for by the Thais, could be a real turkey shoot. Sharing the room with Cindy and Vicky would be bearable I guess but my luck may see me sharing with Abdul and Ahmed! 3 1 3 3 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An explanation would signify that it has been planned, thought through, and executed by competent people. You are correct. The nation should be open, with zero restrictions, for anyone willing to jump through these hoops. Anything more than that is not only draconian, it is a sadistic punishment for the Thai people. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crazykopite Posted August 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 I’m anxiously waiting for the next crazy announcement no doubt it will be well publicised before the end of today’s business these people need to realise that without the easing of the restriction they have put in place very few overseas personnel are going to be entering Thailand on top of this the amount of individuals who have lost jobs around the world is going to effect those who will be struggling just to pay bills . I think Thailand can kiss goodbye to all forms of tourism until 2021 at the earliest. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and the longer the leave it to ease these rules the worse it will be for the Thai economy. Once the regulars tourists who use to come to Thailand find somewhere else in the region which is more tourist friendly and their money goes further they will kiss Thailand good bye and never return. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
