polpott Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 20 minutes ago, 473geo said: What you have to understand is flight, quarantine hotel and insurance is a step too far on the financial scale for many, hence the 'no way I am coming when quarantine is in place' statements. Note how many are suddenly open to quarantine if it is only 7 days.......still quarantine after all ???? The requirement for Covid insurance and the need to apply for a CofE from the Thai embassy would also put many off. luckily the need for a fit to fly certificate appears to be dropped. A far cry from buying a flight ticket and hopping on the next plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fex Bluse Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 20 hours ago, internationalism said: without a full vaccination program, that is a death sentence for tens of thousands. This would shut down public health system in those regions, as well as domestic tourism. There are now many new strains, more dangerous than this from wuhan, to which thai probably were immune. The first wave caused the strain from Italy, in March. The second wave in december from myanmar workers came from virus from bangladesh Yeah, it's everyone else's fault but China and of course Thailand's policies had nothing to do with it. Given your reasoning ability, maybe you will like my theories. Probably the Thais are immune because they also eat bats. The virus probably started in USA and was planted in Myanmar. Myanmar people tried to give it to Thais but Thais are immune already. Cannot get it. That's why Myanmar is having a civil war. Because they are upset they could not give it Thais. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe by 2023 you can buy that ticket, hop on the flight, land in Thailand, walk through immigration getting stamped in and off you go. I don't see it happening over the next 18 months.

Pattaya Spotter Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Covid-19 health insurance...no mention if still needed. Also the October and January no ASQ arrivals...is this just for the vaccinated or anyone (especially the Jan 1 2022 opening)?

NoshowJones Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 15 hours ago, sirineou said: You are in luck. one provinces mentioned in the 7 day quarantine for vaccinated is Koh Samui. in addition some places will not have quarantine after July 1st. I know Phuket was one mentioned, I am sure Kho Samui will also want to be one , if it already is not. The embassy that serves my area (Washington DC) said that the would also accept insurance from your own country that covers you in Thailand, We have Blue Cross Blue shied and someone else we know who also has BCBS said, that the embays has already accepted their insurance. We have filed but have not heard yet. But even if they dont. A three month insurance certificate from a Thai provider is very inexpensive, I think about $200. Is that the price no matter what age you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo2014 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 18 hours ago, sirineou said: No because they are talking about vaccinated tourists, that have completed their vaccine regiment for at least 14 days but no more than three months, and present little danger to the general population. I think thats a huge assumption. The vaccines have been shown to protect against severe covid but are not foolproof against infection. The number of variants continues to grow and many have been shown to evade current vaccines. This means that, unless the Thai population is vaccinated, they are opening themselves up to variants spreading amongst the population but with no protection against severe covid. Anyway lets see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is very unclear is the status of the unvaccinated. No vaccine passport, no entry I'm assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofthemountain Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 7 hours ago, taxin said: Interesting to see Hua Hin is not mentioned as one of the locations alongside Pattaya & Chiangmai. Tourists who visit Hua Hin tend to be older people, as we know most countries are vaccinating its elderly population first, making them first in line to board the plane. Makes sense to say Hua Hin would be a more targeted destination for these older people. It's because they are still working to find a vaccine against boredom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did they "know" when they embarked on the mass vaccination programs of the 50's. You should be grateful the general population of the time did not shy away from doing the right thing.

If you are asking that question then obviously you have established that some entity has applied for approval of the Moderna vaccine. That being the case your question should then be why the delay in processing said application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
