Few days ago...flight from China landed in Seoul Korea...they had to have covid test 48 hours before boarding and vaccination proof...they were all given covid test at the airport upon arrival....371 passengers on the flight......81% tested POSITIVE out of the 371....so obvious china's vaccine does not work OR their testing is so minor it does not show positive results...SAD...and CRAZY...

Or maybe chinese vaccine works good at stopping symptoms..... new infection variant with few symptoms.... time will tell.

...and 48 hours is a long time, you may be infected at 8pm at your local group sex orgy party with 500 guys...get tested next morning and still show up as clean, it may take as long as 3 days before it shows up....so its a tool that may minimise risk but its onlty a mitigating factor...

9 Jan 2023
Thailand has revoked an entry policy announced two days ago requiring visitors to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, its health minister said, citing sufficient immunisation levels in China and globally.

On Monday, Anutin Charnvirakul said checking evidence of vaccinations was inconvenient and a panel of health experts had agreed to withdraw the new rule, which was announced on Saturday by aviation authorities ahead of an expected deluge of visitors from China, where COVID cases have surged. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/...e-for-visitors

And how many travelers ended up not even going after that Saturday declaration? This country Can really screw things up that's for sure. Total incompetence.

I think: nobody, because alternative for vaccination certificate was just rapid PCR test for 200 Bahts right in Airport (15 min).

Anutin is u-turning by the hour!

Don't make the mistake of thinking that this saga is over: just wait for a cluster of Covid cases to appear in Pattaya or somewhere following the arrival of unvaccinated Chinese visitors. Panic will ensue, I promise you, as the hospitals fill. And following initial panic, renewed restrictions on entry and entertainment.

Which one "panic" do you expect? Omicron in 90% of cases has no symptomes, in 9% feels like a flu, one night with high temperature and that's all. Nobody cares even to make test.

I had crossed Thai border in 5 min in BKK, no forms, no questions, they just stamp my passport... By the way: I had flight via China mainland and Hong Kong and arrived in aircraft full of Chinese. Already 12 days no any symptoms of Covid
