TLDR : Answer Summary

The post and comments discuss the rumors surrounding Hua Hin's planned reopening on October 1. Responses reflect a mix of skepticism, with some stating that Hua Hin has not met the necessary conditions or has backed out of the reopening. Various comments point to ongoing uncertainty and differing opinions about what 'open' means—many suggesting it could resemble a 'sandbox' model with restrictions in place. Additionally, there is a general distrust regarding the official communications from the Thai government and its tourism authorities, with participants advising caution until official announcements confirm the situation.

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?

There is no ' official contact ' in a pandemic. Everything changes daily.

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. Reactive

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

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.
