Thailand Covid At Record High!

[goji]

I think everyone knows...Thailand will not be open without quarantine and health insurance and this and that and this and that.....

Thailand will reopen without quarantine. It might be 2021, 2022 or with more problems than expected, even later. My best guess is late 2021 with either zero or 8 night quarantine.

The Junta might well try to keep some useless insurance in place, particularly if they or their friends have financial interests in such businesses. However, eventually the tourists will have a choice of countries to go to. So Thailand either has to be competitive or lose market share.

So far, Thailand has been one of very few countries to allow any kind of entry for tourists.

I think it will re-open for tourists sometime in 2022.

In any case, it won't concern me because we've been told today that Australia's borders will not open for international travel until probably late in 2022.

Mind you, the situation is evolving all the time and things could easily change but I've basically given up hope of travelling overseas in the foreseeable future.

Damn!

Late 2022?!? So ~18 months from now?

Fuck me...

Dreams... dreams...

The UK still has some restrictions on overseas travel, but a friend who is a company Director can sign off his own business trips, which have some exemptions. So I think he's off to a central European capital shortly for some R&R.

I still expect to travel abroad again before the end of the year.

Australian government announcement? Any link?

Google works! Came from the Finance Minister I guess, and sounds as though him saying that may have been premature:

What I asked for was an Australian Government announcement. That link is to a single government minister having a brain fart. Politicians have them all the time. Remember the UK Minister who went on breakfast television saying that there won’t be “vaccination passports”, anyone wanting documentation for travel could get a letter from their doctor? Saint Boris overturned that brain fart inside a week. Here’s a link to the Australian PM talking about travel and vaccination passports only this week. No mention of a distant future.

Hopefully we will see a downward trend emerging in the coming week....

Bouncing around 2,000 per day, today’s figure is 2,044
