Bill Heinecke has been vocal on issues affecting tourism’s recovery for some time, penning an open letter to PM Prayut Chan-o-cha at the start of the year, urging him to reinstate the suspended Test & Go entry scheme.

it needs to abolish the Test & Go entry scheme and allow people to arrive with proof of vaccination and a pre-departure negative PCR test result.

Scrap the pre departure PCR too while you're at it. Enough with the hysterical testing of asymptomatic people!

Think of this as a shrimp buffet and the chinese are coming--all the countries are opening up..

WHO will be the first and most successful to get the "chinese" and open the flood gates again..

How easy will the "countries" make it for the "chinese" to "enjoy and access" this "buffet"..

As an analogy...the easier it is made will seemingly get the "crowds"....up to you thailand....

Well, until such time that officials finally understand that sticking with this "Thai Pass" doesn't make any sense anymore TAT can launch new campaigns as much as they want: there will be no flow of incoming tourists. Things can be so easy and yet (needlessly) seemingly so difficult.

Never get tired of criticism! Some prospective travelers come to these forums to get a sense of what others think of the pros and cons of restricted travel. It would be a disgrace to deny or troll opinions, even yours!

Personally speaking imop if anybody wants to travel here for holiday , of 2 or 3 weeks go somewhere else!

I agree, 2-3 weeks just as a holiday is not worth it

I am going for 6 weeks but to see family, so worth it for me..............

But how many times can someone complain about the same thing? They complain and say the same thing over and over

 

Then go somewhere else, until the situation suits you

Great points. I'm all for the scrapping of The Thailand Pass and PCR testing.

It's Endemic Time. Let's ACT Swiftly!

I took my Waverunner around 360 - Koh Lan pathetically empty chairs. I viewed all resorts and beaches from the sea, then on to Koh Khram. Counted on 2 hands the number of snorkler boats and tour boats!!

Then on to Bang Saray. The beach and restaurants? Possibly 10% capacity. The beach I'll up the number to 50%

Way too many businesses shuttered.

The upside: flawless traffic flow BKK - Pattaya, Rayon. Nice new wide highways - very few cars and exquisitely clean air!

There is nothing flawless about BKK traffic flow, nor will the air ever be  exquisitely clean ... But I understand what you are attempting to convey
