What are the current quarantine requirements for travelers to Thailand?
Made it to Thailand from the UK.
Looking forward to swimming and sunbathing and some decent food when I exit quarantine in 3 days.
Quarantine being locked up 16 days and 15 nights is rough

Answer summary
A traveler from the UK described their journey to Thailand and the challenges of undergoing a 16-day quarantine upon arrival. This sparked discussions among community members about the specifics of quarantine protocols, particularly regarding duration and the impact of vaccinations. Several commented on the differences in quarantine experiences, shared advice on coping during isolation, and discussed the political and health implications of COVID-related travel regulations.

If you have the vaccine do you still need to do the two week quarantine when you get to Thailand ??
Wyndham ****************
Stuart gall some uk got one of the highest rates for the virus so some countries are very cautious
Chris ********
@Wyndham ***************
I’ve never seen confirmation that the vaccine prevents infection being passed. The media seems to ignore that valuable bit of information.Stuart ******
@Chris *******
And they put the focus on the safety of it, i.e will it cause harm? - which is essentially another numbers game they can control. Rather than, does it even make sense if it's only benefiting the individual who takes it. But they will continue talking out of their arses while the sheep spread their arse cheeks for a regular swabbing
Stuart ******
@Chris *******
i was saying that last night, if the vaccines are such a good thing and effective, safe etc then why don't they tell us what the ingredients are, and the precise scientific method behind them. full disclosure. if they aren't able to do that then only a retard of the highest order would take one. But only that level of retard still thinks this whole thing warrants a vaccine to be injected into every human on the planet. wow!Chris ********
@Stuart *****
yup. The vaccine details need to be more available to the public. At the moment they can’t even agree on the success rate or time frame between those which require two doses. Macron recently came out and said the AZ vaccine wasn’t very effective for those over the age of 60.....for his office to then come out and say that wasn’t necessarily true.One things for certain, most politicians and the media are as much use as a colander condom.
David *******
@Wyndham ***************
vaccine passport will be issued in Q3 and quarantine will not be required. At the moment your in prison for 14 days unfortunately!Joy *********
@David ******
16 days & 15 nights David *******
@Joy ********
In quarantine in Qatar at the moment as I contracted COVID-19 while at work! The deal here is 14 days quarantine and then another 7 days self isolation!
Dave ***********
@David ******
that is nothing but speculation at this pointDavid *******
@Dave **********
It will happen!
Barry ********
@Steve ********
That's totally untrue
Steve *********
@Barry *******
so far it IS true. I believe that Romania is likely to be the first, with Cyprus second ...Stuart ******
@Wyndham ***************
Yes. And word on the street now is that the vaccines don't actually prevent you from spreading the virus so taking it is totally pointless unless your so unhealthy that the seasonal flu would kill you. If you are eager to get the freedom to travel back in your life then maybe challenge the bullshit and stop asking your 'owners' if you can or can't do what you have the god given right to doColin ********
@Stuart *****
word on the street🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️Stuart ******
@Colin *******
Jog on Colin ********
@Stuart *****
as opposed to the word on the street and you tube bell ends🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️Stuart ******
@Colin *******
Your sense of humour must have fallen out of your head when you muzzled up and put blind faith in psychopathic murderous "scientists"Wyndham ****************
@Stuart *****
couldn't agree more our gov are full of shit I was only Askin for a friend cos he had vaccine and was Askin would he be allowed in Joy *********
@Wyndham ***************
2 negative tests already Stuart ******
@Wyndham ***************
"if your from uk then think you got no chance with the virus rate so high ere" - what do you mean?Wyndham ****************
@Stuart *****
if your from uk then think you got no chance with the virus rate so high ere Stuart ******
@Wyndham ***************
Yeah, i realised after i got on the rant that it was a simple logistical question, but needed to vent that one out ;-)
Nick ****
@Stuart *****
i agree with you except that we can't challenge them. They have all the power including monopoly on violence and a license to kill. Stuart ******
@Nick *****
That remains to be proven. (EDIT: but maybe i'm being too optimistic. This topic goes deep)Steve *********
@Wyndham ***************
yes, of course! No country yet allows vaccination to bypass any restrictions. Wyndham ****************
