Captain Monday Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 22 hours ago, goatfarmer said: If they were serious about encouraging tourists they'd adopt the Greek model: no insurance and the state covers the cost of testing, isolating you and your travel partners/family and treating you in hospital, if you get sick. In other words, the Greek state is taking the risk. Think about it. What is the cost to the state of hospitalizing/isolating a few people, or a few hundred, even a few thousand people, compared with the benefit of luring back part of the annual $65 Billion in tourist revenue. Sooner or later they'll do the arithmetic. Ask Yanis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crazykopite Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 This is an absolute joke no one will come to Thailand 14 days quarantine plus $100,000 insurance how much will the government be making from these insurance companies .Thailand is about to fall off a cliff edge if it doesn’t wake up you can write off Christmas and New Year off. I had to go over to IO on Koh Samui yesterday I thought Koh Phangan was decimated but Koh Samui is even worse I couldn’t believe how many shutters on shops were pulled down with For Rent / For Sale on them and I’m talking some big business the main Chaweng Road was deserted. I went to Central shopping mall with prices reduced by 70+ % got lucky I purchased an item that was originally up for 3,000 baht and paid 840 baht . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between 40,000 baht to 500,000 baht for the 14 days depends if you want to stay in a fleapit or in a top notch with a suite . You are confined to your room except for one hours exercise in a designated area your food is brought to your room and you are not allowed any visitors even if they are family basically it’s a prison without barbed wire 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

from the home of CC Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 11 hours ago, ukrules said: I can't really blame them, not everyone can be trusted to obey the rules, all it takes with this is for a few to ignore them and there's always a few rule breakers no matter what you do. hence the restrictions to enter the country, it only takes a few rule breakers to cause uncontrolled spread. I can't blame Thailand at all severely restricting people from entering here since so many countries have failed in performing even the basic health measures to control covid . The experience Thailand gained in tracking/tracing/testing AIDS cases has proven invaluable in maintaining control with this virus (so far).

Sumarianson Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Noone is coming to Thailand for a two week holiday in isolation in a hotel room and only left out to walk around on your own for an hour a day after 3 days in isolation and you have to pay the hefty premium for "the specialist hotel". The whole thing is ludicrous and stinks of corruption. Many doctors are successfully treating COVID with a combination of Hydroxycloroquine, zinc and Zithromax so if it can be treated why all the fuss and strict measures or talk of vaccines or " new normals"? What underlies this push to curb rights and impose rediculous unwarranted insurances, masks isolations and the like?

There does seem to be mounting evidence of some non-vaccine treatments that are fairly effective (also in some cases as prophylaxis) but for reasons I can't fathom, they're not catching on in many countries.

Something is shocking. The traveller arrives in Thailand with the risk linked to his country, which is normal. But once he went through the quarantine period "covid free", his risk is the same as any other people living in Thailand. He should not overpay.

thigh Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) So after a quick check on https://covid19.tgia.org/ it seems that the prices are not based on current risk assessment but on a made up premium not reflecting the current situation. One year cover for Chinese citizen 14,000 THB One year cover for UK citizen 23,040 THB One year cover for French citizen 43,200 THB One year cover for Italian citizen 43,200 THB So one of the worst country in Europe at present get the lowest premium and Chinese citizen's obviously get the best rates . This is a total ripoff and a scam plain and simple, feel sorry for those folks that will be forced into this out of desperation to get back to a country that treats them like this.
