smudger1951 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Here in the UK we are prevented from international travel anyway till mid May and have quarrantine on return from red zone countries.

mikebell Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Pre-covid I booked a stay at Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort. It was to be an expensive luxury break. I have tried to resurrect the trip but get no replies as it now appears on the ASQL list. They have my money but are not giving me what I paid for - is this Thainess going to encourage tourism?

Popular Post Timwin Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2021 According to Swedish statistics, 70 percent of victims has been over 80 years old, 90 percent over 70 years old and 97 percent over 60 years old. This is a moral panic, the Karenists are in power. I'd bet those vaccines will cause more victims than COVID itself among people younger than 50! Vaccines always cause casualties due to adverse reactions and what not. It is not sensible at all to vaccine millions of younger people just because less than a thousand or so (most with other diseases already) died per 10 million. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqwakvfr Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Doubt Quarantine can be eliminated even with vaccinated tourists. At present the approved vaccines have an efficacy of over 90 percent but the true numbers will be probably less. At least for this year I see a shorter quarantine. Currently those in Quarantine in Thailand get their first Covid 19 Test at Day 5. The results come back on day 6 and those who are negative are allowed to leave their rooms on day 7. The most realistic quarantine policy for future is 7 days with a Covid 19 test at day 5 or 6. Those who are negaitve then should be "freed". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as a potential tourist, it's up to me if I don't mind enduring quarantine when I get home, or mingling with other tourists. If I've had two shots of Pfizer, I'm not going to worry about catching covid whilst I'm in Thailand. You will still need a COE which requires a neg. test as you can still spread the virus even if vaccinated. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once "health passports" are in place, and your mobility rights can be tied to your vaccination status - pharma companies and their bought-off government shills can easily coerce you into rolling up your sleeve for as many injections as they want. They can't even be sued for injuries/deaths either as they have a complete exemption from liability. Quite the business model. I can't believe so many "men" are willing to give up their right to bodily autonomy so easily. It's so submissive and pathetic. Obviously you have not been sick with Covid. If you had, then maybe you'd be singing a different tune. The next time you catch the common cold, I hope you just suck on lemons for the vitamin C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Teavee Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 11 hours ago, nkg said: Yes, I am happy to get vaccinated in Thailand and to pay for it. My point was that many Thaivisa posters seem to want to delay the return of tourism for as long as possible. Great for them ... not so good for those currently outside Thailand ... It does work both ways and there are some of us “Stuck” in Thailand who would love to go visit our families back “Home” (UK) but face the same challenges coming back “Home” hone (Thailand) as anybody else so welcome the opening up of things. If anything we have it even harder as there are no options for us to get the vaccine here at the moment whereas the UK is ploughing ahead with its vaccine programme & will soon have most of the posters on here demographic covered. happy to pay for the vaccine but it’s simply not available to private patients for the foreseeable future . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skypirate Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Fantastic concept, however logistics to fruition may be difficult. Need a unilateral procedure to verify authenticity of vaccination.

kiteman9 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Ok you are viruses free and have been vaccinated . On the way to the airport you get exposed to the virus and carry it to Thailand and spread it everywhere. Vaccines don’t fully protect against infection, even if they can block symptoms from appearing. As a result, vaccinated people can unknowingly carry and spread pathogens. Occasionally, they can even start epidemics. Edited February 24, 2021 by kiteman9 Add more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
