Your the 2nd person who has raised this point. Am i missing something? The repatriated Thais don't need to have a negative Covid test as part of their paperwork. They can use a Fit-To-Fly that doesn't include a negative Covid test. Bizarre but true. So, they are more likely to have it than the "clean" aliens who have been tested in the last 72 hours. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch a hand rail on stair or escalator? Elevator buttons? Touch the counter at the check in counter? Touch a bin for your bag going through security? Touch anything on the plane? The point, there are 100's of vectors for acquiring any of the 1000's if not tens of 1000's of viruses or bacteria out in the world that can cause harm we come in contact with every day. Unless the person sitting beside you is coughing, spitting, sneezing on you then you are no more at risk of being infected than by any of those other vectors. Because that person is wearing a mask and we all know a mask is magic against virus...... Simply untrue. People who are asymptomatic can spread the virus even though they are not coughing or sneezing. I know we can not eliminate risk entirely but we can reduce it. If everyone getting on the plane has tested negative for Covid, wears a mask and hand sanitises then that will very significantly reduce the risk of getting the virus. Lets not make the mistake of making an idealised notion of 100% safety the enemy of good practice. Edited October 20, 2020 by Adelphi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your the 2nd person who has raised this point. Am i missing something? I assume everyone else on the plane would be comforted to know that there is at least an effort in place to prevent an infected person boarding. If they are not testing Thai citizens before they board then the chance that they are letting an infected person on the plane is obviously higher. Covid free passengers who have undergone a test before boarding obviously don’t want to be exposed while they are sitting on the plane. Does that clear it up for you?

soi3eddie Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I don't believe for 1 second that these "tourists" are actually that. More likely those with property or business interests in Thailand seeking to secure their investments or make new investments at bargain prices. 14 days quarantine for a 30 day stay.

soi3eddie Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Airport testing before boarding a flight and airport testing on arrival are the only ways to open boarders and get the world travelling again. Simples. Forget vaccinations as its unlikely enough people would vaccinate and take risks of new unproven vaccines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many countries where nobody should have it. They all have one thing common particular: they do not test much (and also low level about anything in relation with instruction). Near Thailand, the world championship for this category is Lao. Do you think they are really far to be COVID infected ? Supermen's land maybe ? Can we seriously stop believing all the time in things that are impossible or very unlikely ? To believe all the time in merchants of ingenious dreams and in sellers of ties?

Sad for them, two less flip-flops on the ground. The disorganization of these flights is mind boggling. BTW: 40,300 for a one way ticket on a four hour flight. They don't want anyone in flip-flops. Next time you go to buy a ticket, wear some fancy shoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk_bwana Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Finally. This is a start. Things have to start somewhere. Chinese tourists make sense because it is the #1 tourist group in terms of numbers, it is nearby with thousands of 737s lined up ready to go, and is low risk. I fully expect to be shot down in flames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I helped send 2 Thai girls who were students staying with us at home on the first repat flight to BK. They had a fit to fly from the local GP and a declaration form signed that they had not been in a covid area for 2 weeks, all docs had to be less than 72 hours old. They had to do 2 weeks state quarantine on arrival, their mother went into quarantine with them. Cost then was 3700 NZ each, quarantine was free, process simple for Thais, not simple for expats as we well know. Some good news is I got a local insurance Thai company price for basic cover to be allowed back 25000 Bhat for one year so thinking about doing it after Xmas if flights look OK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your the 2nd person who has raised this point. Am i missing something? Perhaps if one goes thru all the trouble of being and tested covid free BEFORE the journey to thailand only to ve infected by a dirty thai is rich. Then its hazmat suits and hospitals vs just staying in the room with isolation and rest. Thats the difference. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a Thai (national) friend returning here from Hong Kong, and whilst the health department here don't require a Covid19 test prior to flying, Thai Airways do! I think a lot of airlines are requiring this, irrespective of destination regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
