Pending, but doubtful.

As reported in BKK Post, yes. 5 Provinces including BKK to ‘open’ in October and November. I’ve also had that from an official contact. However, it remains to be seen what the definition of ‘open’ is. Perhaps a sandbox model with restrictions. Who knows?

@Ian ********
There is no ' official contact ' in a pandemic. Everything changes daily. Ian *********
@Steve *********
then let me rephrase. A contact from a government department who is close to current announcements and plans. But yes, of course there are changes. That’s the current environment. ReactiveSteve **********
I noticed a lot of us long term expats vary in explanations.
'Official ' is a bit more than, heard a guy say '
Share knowledge, not

@Steve *********
yeah, whatever. Am just sharing my own level of knowledge with the guy who asked for our take on things that’s all. I don’t really need your input on that thanks. If ya can’t help people in life, don’t hinder ‘em. That’s always been my philosophy as a long term expat Steve **********
@Ian ********
"A nameless contact from a govt contact, who is close to ..."Is certainly not an " official contact ".

TAT says Chiang Mai will fully reopen on Oct. 1 as well. Putting aside that CM was never meant to fully reopen anyway versus a limited program called Charming Chiang Mai, it's reliant on 70% fully vaccinated. It's not going to happen.

Hia Hin was never closed
Daniel ********
Yes.
