Speaking in a televised broadcast on Monday night (Oct 11), Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said he has asked the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and the Ministry of Public health to “urgently consider” within this week about allowing fully vaccinated visitors from a list of “low-risk” countries to enter Thailand without the need for quarantine. These visitors only need to present negative results for their PCR tests done before travel and when they reach Thailand. “After which, they will be free to move around Thailand in the same way that any Thai citizen can do,” said Mr Prayut. Thailand will begin with at least 10 nations, including Singapore, Germany, China, the United Kingdom and the United States. The full list will be finalised at a CCSA meeting later this week, said the authorities. The list will be gradually expanded in coming months. Visitors from places that are not on the list will still have to adhere to current quarantine measures, which include a seven-day quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers and 10 days for those who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated. Currently, travellers who enter Thailand through the sandbox programmes on Phuket and Samui do not need to serve a hotel quarantine but are required to stay on the islands for seven nights before they can travel to other regions in Thailand. With some countries easing part of their curbs on international travel, Mr Prayut said: “We must act quickly but still cautiously, and not miss the opportunity to entice some of the year-end and New Year holiday season travellers during the next few months.” Thailand’s tourism sector used to make up a fifth of its national income, but travel restrictions have caused its earnings to plummet. Daily Covid-19 cases and deaths have been on the decline, with the nation having more than 1.7 million infections and more than 17,600 deaths so far. lung tuu .. you cannot open up just because you see other countries open up .. other countries have managed their covid programs better, they have got more people vaccinated and with effective vaccines .. they also have their foreign ministries talk with other countries to set up reciprocal travel lanes .. barely 40% of your people have been vaccinated .. you need to study it deeper to see whether the travellers from the countries you are trying to open up to have quarantine for the same travellers when they return .. how many would go and holiday there if they dont feel safe from the virus plus have to pay and suffer quarantine when they return? but then do you ever listen? 55555555555 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveluv Twincharged October 14, 2021 Author Share October 14, 2021 So it’s been finally confirmed but for only 5 countries https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2197799 Quarantine being lifted, more provinces being opened PUBLISHED : 14 OCT 2021 AT 14:40 WRITER: ONLINE REPORTERS Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha confirms Thailand is ready to lift quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers from five countries from Nov 1, and open more provinces to visitors, after chairing a meeting of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration at Government House on Thursday. (Screenshot) There will be no quarantine for fully vaccinated air travellers from five countries from Nov 1, and destinations in more provinces will also be opened to foreign tourists. Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said the CCSA resolved on Thursday to allow in fully vaccinated visitors from Britain, the United States, Germany, Singapore and China if they pass an RT-PCR test before arrival. Travellers from these five countries were considered as having low-risk of Covid-19 infection. They would not have to quarantine. The number of destinations opened to tourists would also expand from four provinces - Phuket and parts of Surat Thani, Phangnga and Krabi provinces - to 17 provinces of economic significance. This would include all of Bangkok, Samut Prakan (only Suvarnabhumi airport), parts of Prachuap Khiri Khan (Hua Hin and Nong Kae) and all of Krabi and Phangnga, Dr Taweesilp said. From Dec 1, another 16 major provinces would reopen, including Chiang Rai, Mae Hong Son, Lamphun, Phrae and Sukhothai. The operations committee of the CCSA had yet to finalise the entire list of the additional provinces, Dr Taweesilp said. The CCSA's briefing on Thursday afternoon started with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha confirming that Thailand was ready for reopening in two weeks. "Many countries want to let their citizens visit Thailand... It will be a small start, for people to resume earning a living," the prime minister said. Ministers and senior representatives of the government and the private sector were also present for the announcement at Government House. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just discussing some Covid thoughts with my family members in Singapore a few minutes ago where we look at some new information from Singapore - First is - As of 14 October 2021, 12pm, the Ministry of Health has detected a total of 2,932 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore, comprising 2,412 community cases, Secondly - https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/covid-19-new-cases-oct-14-deaths-locally-transmitted-hospital-icu-moh-2243956 Did a simple calculation - if we take Singapore population of 5.4mil and Thailand's 70mil, 15 deaths in Singapore is equivalent to 194 deaths in Thailand. And then again if we take Singapore population of 5.4mil and Thailand's 70mil, 2,412 new cases in Singapore is equivalent to 31,200 new cases in Thailand. This is scary shit when you consider Thailand only has less than 35% fully vaccinated while Singapore 84%. Am not doing this comparison to show which country is better instead to ask that really big question what happened to vaccine's efficacy and is vaccine the right way to go and then you seem to see no end to booster shots. Really many questions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really many questions. singapore also has very aggressive testing regime, so the more you test of course the more cases are unearthed .. also many of the deaths are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated .. or old with underlying medical conditions .. when one is old and have underlying medical conditions, it is easy to have difficulties when illness strikes .. lucky we have the boosters (haha not saying it is or it is not needed, but imho reassuring to have). take care and stay safe! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
