Thai Tourists the Main Focus for Pattaya

[gerefan2]

Surely they are defeating the whole object?

The delay in allowing tested falang tourists who are CERTIFIED COVID FREE has been caused by the lack of vaccine so that the required 70% of locals have not been injected.

By encouraging Thai tourists, from all over, surely the required 70% is even further away?

Then when we eventually arrive we will be at further risk.

That 70% figure.. hmm..

I suppose if you can convince the Thai public that 70% vaccination will make it safe to venture back into the sunlight, the inevitability that most will get an actual infection to some degree before the bug returns to the shadows is, perhaps, easier to handle.

And would the full reopening of tourism actually make that much difference? With Covid working its way through the population anyway, and most tourists 'post-Covid' either vaccinated or previously infected; and the great majority of those Thais they socialise with being of an age that rarely suffers bad outcomes from infection, is there really anything of substance to fear now?

A damn good point. Will the Thai tourists have to do a covid test before entering Pattaya ?
