Popular Post webfact Posted March 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2021 A passport to go to the bar? Intriguing possibility of "vaccine passport" to visit entertainment venues in Thailand Picture: The Standard It may not be only international travel that is affected by plans being mulled and put into place in several countries for "vaccine passports". They may have an impact on what people can do with ease domestically. Thai news site The Standard rounded-up the latest situation regarding vaccine passports. In their preamble they said that once you needed a visa to visit a country. But the pandemic changed much of that. After Covid-19 took the world by surprise you needed a "Covid-19 free certificate" to travel. Now it is increasingly looking like you might need proof of having been vaccinated before you can go abroad. But as they pointed out the so-called vaccine passport is not just for international movement. Such a document could be mandated to enter places where large numbers of people congregate in close proximity. That would mean "the entertainment industry and sporting events" as The Standard pointed out. So it might be necessary to hold a document to go to a pub, beer bar or disco in the future. That would mean an even greater urgency to get vaccinated for people who enjoy a beverage or a night out. The article did not say that this was yet being mulled in Thailand but it appears that all suggestions are currently on the table. The Ministry of Public Health have already published infographics of the step by step process of how vaccination will work. This includes online notifications of jabs and other protocols about receiving vaccinations. A step-by-step way forward has been announced. The Standard noted that Israel has already issued a "Green Pass" that is a kind of vaccine passport (VP) that appears to be for internal use. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of businesses are on the bones of their ar*e due to lockdowns, closed borders etc., and they are expected to turn away future custom because someone doesn't have a "vaccine passport" ! Sorry, ain't going to happen in a lot of places, especially smaller establishments. Edited March 2, 2021 by Thaiwrath 36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like the Junta wants to close all entertainment venues. Or at the least make them unprofitable. As long as I don't need a vaccination passport to load up with booze at Makro, I'm good to go. If only I could order online, I wouldn't even need to go out ......... but they banned online alcohol sales.

internationalism Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 but already existing 2 thai applications, as well as a new one for foreign tourists, are much better options, because they can actually trace spread of virus. and data about vax or being ill or positive in the past can be incorporated in those applications.

How many can your smart phone handle, if you've actually got one.

A boring ride in the elevator at work somehow ends in a pool party. At the end the announcer says “Soda Leo”, as the text below the logo reads “Leo Soda Water”. That is what they’re merely advertising. Same with the young rapper who takes a swig of his “Soda Singha”. Purely innocent carbonated water. Heh. Of course, every Thai knows that soda water is intended to be mixed with liquor, and you’re also supposed to purchase the matching Leo and Singha beers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after a few cocktails, switch to beer. Or vice versa. Too many cocktails and I start getting headaches, not to mention tipsy too quick, too much beer and I get bloated. I know some don’t like this, and stick with one or the other, but not I. Edited March 2, 2021 by CrunchWrapSupreme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
