Scotty Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Wonder how much this is to do with Covid-19 and how much it has to do with increasing protests in BKK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy Boy Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The EU might welcome tourists from Thailand, but I doubt if the opposite will be true, for a few months yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Ladyboys hardly being bastions of honesty and truth, I wonder why Sky interviewed 2 of them and then 2 BR girls who are clearly not going to starve to death any time soon and also fall into a very niche area of Thai working girls, if you get my drift. They'd have been better off heading out to Buakhao and trying their luck there, or perhaps contacting local media like Fab103 to put them in contact with some working girls. The message gets across though, and it is only the tip of a massive iceberg. It is also some very tough pressure from the International media being exerted here, given that they could have picked any number of struggling SEA Countries which also has an established sex industry but chose Thailand for what reasons I have no idea, but perhaps could speculate over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there still 2 weeks quarantine? 7 hours ago, Nightcrawler said: Good question Thailand to ease restrictions on nightlife and foreign visitors Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images Thai authorities have announced that pubs, bars and karaoke clubs will be allowed to re-open from Wednesday, and rules on foreign visitors will be eased, as the country looks to bolster its tourism-reliant economy. The venues will be able to stay open until midnight local time, so long as they adhere to safety guidelines like social distancing. Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesperson for the government's Covid-19 task force, said customers would be closely monitored before entering the businesses. Foreigners with residency, work permits and families in Thailand will also be able to enter the country, so long as they quarantine themselves for 14 days. Business visitors from countries like Japan and Singapore could be exempt from quarantine, provided they are tested on arrival and can produce certificates showing they're free from Covid-19. International flights have been banned in Thailand since March. It's been nearly five weeks since any community transmission was reported there. Thailand was the first country outside of China to confirm a case of coronavirus, but so far its national toll has been comparatively low, with 3,169 infections and 58 deaths.

Nightcrawler Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I noticed that in a Thai Government briefing today, that foreigners who are legally married to Thais are to be allowed in. I presume that means producing a Marriage Certificate. Whether married in Thailand or on another country was not detailed or.what evidence required. Still unsure about whether the 14 day quarantine would apply. That would count me and a few others here but realistically I should imagine.that by the time I feel ready to, then the rules would have opened.up anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, wife's older brother died over the weekend. She knows she can't go home currently even if she wanted, well apart from all sorts of hoops, and then there's our daughter etc. She understands as does her family. Though I'd like to go back with her as soon as we can without it being a nightmare to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The EU says that from 1 July it will allow travellers in from an initial list of "safe" non-EU countries. The countries on an initial version of the list are: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay. BBC Europe correspondent Katya Adler reports that the list will be updated as the situation in different countries changes. China, she says, will also be added if it offers EU countries a reciprocal agreement. The list is expected to be finalised by midday tomorrow.

The current arrangements for visitors won't make much difference, especially considering they are limited to 50k arrivals. I'm still fairly confident if the situation continues to improve in the UK, EU and Thailand, we will see a further easing of restrictions coming into high season. At the minute I wouldn't even bother looking at booking flights there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
