Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted April 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2021 Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Thursday announced increased restrictions in Bangkok, Chonburi, Chiang Mai, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan. The aforementioned provinces will become ‘Maximum and Strict Controlled’ areas or ‘dark red zones’. The most notable of the new restrictions imposed will see restaurants prohibited from serving dine in customers, with venues only able to offer takeaway until 9pm. Other high risk venues, such as gyms must also close, while gatherings of more than 20 people are banned. Face masks must be worn at all times when in public places and all schools and tutoring centres must close. People are also asked to only leave home if absolutely necessary. Shopping malls must close by 9pm. CCSA spokesperson Dr Taweesilp Visanuyothin also announced that quarantine for all arrivals to Thailand will be increased to 14 days again after having previously been reduced to ten days. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-04-29 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rhacsyn Posted April 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2021 Vaccinated people who waited patiently for the quarantine period to drop to 7 days, only to find that they will now have to do 14 if the arrive after 6th May will be a little peeved to say the least. I was planning a trip overseas quite soon where I am eligible for Covid vaccination on the assumption that I would have to do a maximum of 7 days quarantine (or zero) on my return. I will now need a rethink and re-plan. My mistake for assuming.... 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxin Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 This is a repeat of what we seen during the new year holiday weekend in January, this weekend is also a long weekend (Monday & Tuesday is a holiday). Thai government are closing restaurants to deter people from gathering, also to deter people from making trips to Hua Hin, Pattaya etc. My guess is restaurants will be back open again on Wednesday when people return back to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen the video of the press conference. Unless you already have your certificate of entry, vaccinated or not it's 14 days. That's a kicker. An extra 20,000+ baht to the cost of everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be, people will move out of the restricted zones and into the less restricted zones. This will encourage people to travel, people who otherwise would not have traveled to different provinces. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danderman123 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I got my second jab in the US on April 24. I was thinking of delaying my return to Thailand until May 8, when I would be eligible for a 7 day quarantine, but decided that waiting 11 days to save 3 days in quarantine didn’t make sense. Lucky me, I am in 10 day quarantine now, rather than 14 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
