Is Pattaya opening for tourists in October with a vaccine passport and no quarantine?

I don't think so hopefully I'm wrong

I plan on booking a flight to Thailand September 17 can anybody tell me if there are any holidays that week from the 13th to the 17th in Thailand

It should happen - if acting based on facts. And the facts are: From those thousands who entered Phuket Samdbox, only 0.2% got tested positive later - that is only 1 in 500. So inviting good quality fully vaccinated people into the country is safe. And even if very few of them catch it, they very likely catch it mildly. So time to move forward with the plan and open. All you no-sayers … the current problems are local mismanagement, not imported issues.

Not going to happen... It's all touristy hype .. Not based on fact... The current COVID outbreak is serious. Hopefully by early 2022 we may see reopening of Thailand 🙏🙏🙏

>It's mentioned on the government website but I don't see confirmation yet.

What government website?

And the Phuket Sandbox is starting a "soft shutdown", effective tomorrow.

All part of the opening Thailand in 120 days target I guess. Whether it will happen we can't be sure.

Pattaya (and the rest of Thailand) had a record number of cases today. Curfew from 9pm to 4am, the majority of businesses are closed, so are the beaches and nobody has an idea if and when vaccinations start. So, best to take anything you hear with a grain of salt (better perhaps with a bucket of the stuff).

Saw a rumor????? Sandbox could shutdown! Not official!

Phuket Sandbox they only announced couple of days before full info.

Its wait and see you have to remember the same man that said Thailand would be fully open in October is the same man who made a speech to UN in 2010 vowing to halve deaths on Thailands roads by 2020

At present theres more chance of a ladyboy giving birth to twins than Pattaya opening in October
