TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus among community members is that there is no imminent plan to lift the quarantine restrictions in Thailand due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Several comments suggest it could take many months, with speculation ranging from mid-2021 to as late as 2022 or 2023 for any significant changes. There are also discussions about potential extensions of existing quarantine measures, particularly in response to new COVID-19 variants. Updates on the situation seem to depend on factors like vaccination rates within the kingdom and broader international conditions.

I see some message this morning that they are considering the option of lifting the quarantine,for people that are vaccinated.

This was stated by Thai tourist authority

But nothing is certain yet

Forget it untill they have mass vaccinations , which wont be untill the last quarter of this year . Not even due to start for a couple of months .

I didn't say they would be finished , but older and vulnerable will be done and as shown in Israel and the UK , the first jab gives the most immunity . With the very low levels of infection rates here in Thailand it could be enough to relax the rules . But Hey this is Thailand and we can speculate all day . Its just been announced that long term visa Ex Pats and Work Permit holders will be included in the vaccine roll out , as there's no point leaving a large section of the population unprotected .

@Malcolm ******

last quarter of this year is very optimistic. 70 million people in Thailand. Heard immunity will be achieved when 80% of the population are vaccinated. That is 56 million people or 112 million injections. I hate to say it but realistically we could be looking at fourth quarter 2022, and that would involve injecting well over 1 million a week.

Have the numbers of Covid gone drastically down in Europe/America,etc ?

Will Thailand lift the requirements? I don't see that.

It's rather the other around: Especially in Europe they do impose quarantine now as well. But in many cases in a very "lukewarm" form: Just stay at home.

But checks have shown that in many many cases this did not work at all.

common sense

Cause after all

When you are vaccinated you can still pass the virus 🦠 to others,who are not vaccinated

And Thailand doesn’t vaccinate yet

So , I can imagine that they are a bit concerned about letting people in

Short answer no. Longer answer when 80% of the Kingdom are vaccinated. As the richest countries in the world are arguing about when they are going to be getting their vaccine delivered getting vaccines in Thailand will be a problem. The one saving grace is the Oxford vaccine is now being manufactured in Thailand. The facility won’t be up to full speed for a couple of months yet.

I agree. A vaccine supply chain is a complex thing. Although the sense of community will help a lot. If a village is to be vaccinated on a certain date the local community will make sure everyone is there to be vaccinated.
