Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted May 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2021 Antigen tests, free for Thai’s not free for foreigners - outrage... A foreigner reported passing into Pukhet (land) no charge for a foreigner taking the test. Others reported their Thai friends are not being tested anyway ! Now... antigens tests are not free for Thai’s. -------- Foreigners can get covid vaccines Foreigners will be changed for Covid Vaccines Covid vaccines free for foreigners Foreigners can’t get Covid vaccines until all Thai’s get them IF the Thai authorities are consistent in one thing if the guarantee that at every single opportunely they will be inconsistent in their approach and generally create an environment of utter confusion ! Ensuring any person entering the Island of Phuket (and other Islands) where covid-19 could be more readily controlled is more important to the economy of the Island, ergo the authorities, thus, testing should be free for Thai’s and anyone else - its a no brainer. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusts Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Are they planning to keep all this going even after 15 May....!?!?! ???? I thought most restrictions were announced till 12 May and hopefully by then - they stop testing (wink wink ????) and - no more cases found so we can go back to normal...!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Perhaps there won't be any need to test, after 15th May. Perhaps that's why everyone pays. To deter the requests for tests. No requests to test, no tests, no Covid, job done. Phuket is free from Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
