It’s going to be at least two months until you’ll be able to legally drink a beer at a bar in Thailand… The long-awaited reopening of bars and nightlife venues has been pushed to January 15, 2022. The CCSA held a general meeting chaired by PM Prayut Chan-o-cha today and decided to push back the reopening date for entertainment venues. Alcohol sales at restaurants is now only allowed in areas classified as “blue zones” including Bangkok and Phuket.

a sure way to kill tourism on Khao San road
Foreigners must take 100 baht swab tests if vax is old - ambulance on standby to take them away if positive

https://aseannow.com/topic/1239472-khao ... -positive/All foreigners are having their documentation checked even though that condition of entry to the country has already been satisfied.
If foreigners have been vaccinated six months ago they will have to take a 100 baht swab test and wait.
An ambulance is on hand to take them away if they turn out to be positive.
But the good news is that so far 500 swab tests have been done on Thais and foreign visitors and not a single one has come back posiitive.

Imagine a tourist family with two kids, fresh off the flight three days ago, meeting an official demanding a test to enter, having gone through 4 PCR tests pre-flight and 4 post-flight ATK tests (not yet approved, I believe) and having to test again -- 3 times in a week! Apparently the mandatory test applies if your vax are over 6 months old. But the checkpoint is still a big annoyance for having to pull out the certificates for each, if they're carrying them -- not expecting to need them since they have already been approved for entry.
Bloody idiots.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Just applied for my Thailand Pass online about an hour ago for my trip back to Bangkok, it’s really getting better and better
It said 3-7 days but from wife’s experience I’d expect less than 24 hours so this is shocking for me, got approval in 27 minutes can you believe it? Kudos to ThaiPass.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Interesting piece, but i tend to disagree but not entirely.
i'd say 75% are indeed not tourist but that still leaves 25% "tourists" arriving. For sure keeping bars, nightclubs closed is the wrong decision.

LOts more on the subjectThanet Supharothatrangsi, chairman of the Chonburi Tourism Business Association, echoed what people online have been saying for weeks if not months.
In an interview with business media he said there are virtually no tourists coming into Thailand despite the rhetoric of the government after their much vaunted reopening claims.
The only arrivals are not true tourists at all. Just business people, property owners or those with families.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
That's part of it.For sure keeping bars, nightclubs closed is the wrong decision.
They also have only a bit over half their population fully vaxed. Any prospective tourist has to weigh up the risk of getting covid whilst on holiday in a foreign land.
Then you have all the hoops to jump through. This piece from Australia sounds like a nightmare..
