Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
WOW ! So reading that JB ( and doing a quick goggle check which confirmed it) they now seem to be clearly saying that travelling from the ENGLAND is STILL banned basically still right over the Christmas period - whereas I thought the exact opposite is what they're now saying on Govt news / press releases etc in that saying that you would now be able to travel "home" etc "over Christmas" to allow people to get home for the holidays ( and / or go shag cute Thai / spainish boys if at all possible to get in to their Countries) - but that seems NOT to be the case now after all perhaps ( for those in England anyway certainly ???) I'm guessing that will screw a LOT of English peoples plans up all of a sudden again !!?? :-(
Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
JB’s post relates entirely to an extension of the Thai emergency decree.
JB...am I correct? I’m afraid I don’t understand Nirish post.

I'm referring to the UK travel advice ( as I believe JB was as well in his last post - are you perhaps reading an entirely different post maybe?) which says :
"From 5 November to 2 December 2020, travelling away from home, including internationally, is restricted from England except in limited circumstances such as for work or for education. Different rules apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You must follow all the rules that apply to you.:
These can be found at : https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-a...el-coronavirus
And my point being IF I'm reading these rules correctly its basically saying NO leaving England for ANY international travel over the Christmas period !?

I thought that Her Majesty’s Government announced that Covid-19 restrictions would be loosened for five days from December 23 to December 27, 2020 and that it applied across the whole of the UK. But given the recent complexities and differences between the four nations of the UK, it would be a better man than me who could speak with any degree of certainty when it comes to which Covid-19 regulations apply to which nation.
You may have already read it NIrish-guy, but the FCDO website covering Northern Ireland said the following:
Quote:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) regulations guidance: what the restrictions mean for you
Following an increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, additional restrictions have been introduced for people living in Northern Ireland. These new restrictions have been put in place to help reduce the spread of coronavirus and to help manage the pressures on our health and social care system. This page will be updated with detailed information as it becomes available . . .
Link to FCDO (NI) website: https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles...tions-mean-you
And, after reading much of this, who could blame goji and gerefan2 for wanting to escape to the Land of Smiles, even if it means a two week quarantine.

Yes, as far as I can see, it relates to the extension of the emergency decree in Thailand, but the FCDO also stated, "From 5 November to 2 December 2020, travelling away from home, including internationally, is restricted from England except in limited circumstances such as for work or for education." But the end date for the FCDO message is 2 December, nothing regarding the Christmas period.
Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
That guidance expires on 2 December ? What’s that got to do with Xmas?
Oops crossed with your post JB
Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
Ahhhh ! Sorry, I was just about to post that - my mistake - I TOTALLY missed that 2nd of December part - apologies for the confusion ! Thats what was confusing me as it wasn't tying in with the other recent press messages, but THAT would be the reason why ! Apologies.

xmas is usually AFTER 2 December, so those rules would have expired.
From 3 Dec we move to regional restrictions. I believe those regional restrictions would be relaxed over xmas.
Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
Yep got it, it was the " Update to information on the extension of the emergency decree until 15 January 2021" that threw my brain, but that of course is not in relation to the UK travel advice, I see that now.
