ORIGINAL POSTERhi everyone, i heard there is going to be new rules and for those arriving after 16 Dec can only apply for Thai Pass from 1 Dec. Any information on this? would the new rules be easier or stricter?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around the anticipated new rules for entering Thailand from December 16th, focusing on the Thai Pass application process starting from December 1. Many commenters believe the new rules will make it easier to enter, particularly with the requirement for an antigen test instead of a PCR test upon arrival. There's speculation about official announcements and the impact of ongoing COVID-19 cases, with mixed opinions on the current health situation in Thailand.

50 thousand in UK no masks .... Depends if u want to live with covid or live In fear. There is one certainty everyone will get covid eventuallyLynnette *******
@William *******
I understand exactly how virus's work, including this one. I'm vaccinated and have a booster too. I still wear a mask out of a duty of care to others as well as myself. I am vaccinated against flu too. It's all about being responsible and staying healthy plus saving lives.Lynnette *******
@William *******
how about we live sensibly and responsibly. Wear masks in crowded places till more people stop "living in conspiracy fear" and get vaccinated. They are the people terrified of imaginary plots about covid19.William ********
@Lynnette ******
unfortunately the vaccine seems to be slow. I could not agree more , u do know in the end worldwide everyone will get covid. The fear now is more dangerous than the virus. When all have been vaccinated that wants it no more can be done. I personally think is been massively overplayed but that's only my opinion.Lynnette *******
@William *******
millions dead is hardly "overplayed". But we don't all think alike.William ********
@Lynnette ******
u even need a test to know if u have itLynnette *******
@William *******
you need a test to confirm its covid because thats how virus data is collated. Seriously, if you don't understand this maybe read up about identifying virus's, tracking infections.William ********
@Lynnette ******
I see u don't understand this virus that does kill... Kills elderly and people with ongoing health problems. Unfortunately elderly people like myself 65 die every day of flu, cancer and many others diseases unrelated to viruses such as the flu ... Covid. It's a unstoppable virus transmitted quicker than flu. Until you realise u get vaccinated and that's it .... Get on with living B4 your life passes u byWilliam ********
@Lynnette ******
0.02 B4 vaccine. ........ Now 0.0002 after the vaccine.Reply to
