Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
The Pattaya News did a good roundup of what's known -- which is not much. This article is closer to the truth. TPN is actually a decent (and sometimes cheeky) news site.yong wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 10:44 pmOooops. Thanks buddy for this info.ExPenhMan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 10:23 pmSorry Yong, but the proposals have not been approved or published in the Royal Gazette. This ought to happen sometime between Monday and Wednesday this coming week. But be ready for some amendments. There are too many ministers and others who jabber in public just to hear their own voices.
I, too, am waiting on the edge of my seat. I'm in Canada and plan to return to Thailand the first week of November, avidly looking forward to no quarantine and landing in Bangkok to stay -- in my own apartment.

lots of wishful thinkers out there spreading wishful ideas.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
in addition to the above:
i truly dont see how thailand can open in less than 2 weeks to vaccinated ( they can still catch covid) arrivals
10,111 new Covid cases, 63 deaths on Saturday in a 24 hour period
The death toll stood at 18,242 during the third wave and 18,336 since the beginning of the pandemic.
as shown in Phuket, 91 tested positive out of the 1st 32,000 (up to Sept 15th, total now around 48,000) in their 2 week period an most of those were after their 2nd or 3rd ( day 6, day 13) test, which show's they did not bring in in but got it while they were out an about in Phuket
So arrivals are NOT bringing in covid but arrivals will get it while they are here. Make sure ur insurance covers you
Recent survey results;
regarding The 78%

Recent survey results;
good luck to those that chose to take the risk of holidaying in Thailand till they get at Least 70% vaccinated ( now at less than 40%)78% of respondents agree that 70% of the Thai population must be vaccinated before the opening of the borders to foreign arrivals
31% agree the health care system must be ready
03% stressed the importance of pro-active screening
65% say safety of tourist attractions and public venues must be ensured to build confidence
29% say the opening of the borders will help the economy
74% believe more people will be employed
07% believe tourism revenue will increase
43% believe COVID infections will surge
60% expect lockdown restrictions to be re-imposed
55% believe the health system will be overwhelmed
regarding The 78%
the sandbox proved this si NOT the case!!Most Thais against reopening country, fear tourists will bring in new Covid-19 cases

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
So any tourists going to Phuket for a 2 week holiday are not counted as tourists in your opinion ?Cowshed Cowboy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 1:04 pm Let's not forget a significant number of those entering via the Sandbox were not in fact tourists but actually returning residents. I'm sure a read a figure of 50% left Phuket as soon as their quarantine ended so a very misleading representation of true tourist numbers.
To be fair, you have absolutely no idea how many of the 50000+ Phuket Sandbox arrivals to date are tourists, Thai residents, ex-pats, or foreign business-owners etc
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I am now +2 months in Phuket, and its al little hard to know how many of them are returning expats, and how many "real" turists, if the expats leave after a week, you know, but also a part of the turists leave after a week (used to be 2 weeks before). But i think with 50% you are pretty close to the throught. Police at the moment is checking more to the closing-hour, but always you will find some small light-bulb opened very late. They are useally focused on Bangla, how farther away from Bangla, how less problems !!
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
No list of quarantine exempt nations was released today, as promised. The Oct. 20 CCSA briefing, just translated and posted by Richard Barrow, says nothing new. There was a tidbit in the Bangkok Post about now having to book a limo to a nearby PCR test centre, off the airport property. That's it. Zero progress and only 11 days to Nov. 1.
So who wants to be the first "tourist" to test the quarantine-free system?
The following from the CCSA briefing sure is a confidence builder:

Bloody incompetents. FWIW:As of now, there are two existing channels for entry that are being implemented and these channels will transition into the reopening of the country.
– First, Thai and foreign nationals who have not been fully vaccinated may enter Thailand, but will have to undergo mandatory quarantine in the Alternative Quarantine (AQ) system.
– Second, fully vaccinated Thai and foreign nationals may enter Thailand via the sandbox scheme, which currently includes four provinces and will be expanded to cover 17 provinces on 1st November.
– The upcoming new channel to launch Thailand’s reopening on 1st November is for fully vaccinated travelers from a list of countries to enter Thailand with no quarantine. Relevant agencies are now considering this list and CCSA will inform you as soon as the list has been finalized.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info

About 41.41% of the population is fully vaccinated.
39,039,849 (+428,656) people have received the first dose,
while 27,405,800 (+446,015) have been fully inoculated.
apx 68 + million thai's ,...need another 41 million doubles vaccinated.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
wow!!! 46 countries with only 1 night locked up yet Cambodia wants 7 nights>>> good luck with that
https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... NYzKEwjigYThe government has decided to allow fully vaccinated travellers from 46 low-risk countries to Thailand without quarantine when the country reopens on Nov 1.
The "low-risk" country list has grown from the initial 10 when he announced the reopening plan on Oct 11. The prime minister did not provide the list, though.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha made the announcement on his Facebook yesterday, saying the situation has changed and Thailand has to move fast and move now.
He said the government has decided to expand the list of low-risk countries to cover 46 countries after several countries had begun relaxing travel restrictions.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Surprised the UK made the list with 5 times the infection rate of Thailand and growing fast.
Is that the official list, the finished article? Or is it a proposed or recommended one and subject to someone high up signing it?
