I know many have said they're not booking at all until this passes, but if you had to give a date, what do you think, or from those living in Thailand with more local knowledge, what say you? oct-devcember. .. as they reduce restrictions, so the count will rise and they will end up re introducing them ( sadly). 2 hours ago, Starshine said: And where do you stay while in Quarantine?.... the cells at the airport?

There's reports of new criteria in the process of being introduced by Buri Ram province. They're something along the lines of that by the end of next week, every resident will be issued a sticker for their ID card. If you leave the province, the sticker guarantees re-entry but with quarantine required. If you don't have a sticker you don't get in. Probably be as much good as Pattaya roadblocks, but worth bearing in mind. 7 hours ago, Starshine said: And where do you stay while in Quarantine?.... the cells at the airport? The Bangkok Hilton? Thay have hotels prepared as both hospitals and/or quarantine centres. in Pattaya they have one wing of the Grand Bella off Second Road, and there are 6 in Bangkok with 1,200 rooms available.

Just after the weekend when there was all the hassle at the airport with one group going to Sattahip and one running away, there were busloads reportedly taken to a Bangkok hotel from another flight.

dcfc2007 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The most important thing is to prevent transmission from abroad and ensure Thais comply with disease control measures, including social distancing, Gen Prayut said. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1906960/pm-wary-of-virus-rebound This does not sound to me like they are contemplating opening up to international travel.
