hello everyone and welcome back again into another updating vlog from live love thailand
as we were talking lately through the previous weeks that thailand will continue to apply its
reopening plan in november and adjust some entry rules and regulations finally on monday
came the big announcement although it's not for everyone but at least it's a big step
in this vlog we are going to update you about the latest easing steps in the capital city bangkok
and how it's getting ready for tourists with the nightlife soon
also the big step that will be applied starting from november
and that is reopening thailand for loris countries without quarantine and besides how this list can
grow up and include everyone along the vlog we are going to talk about the future of the sandboxes
and how entry rules should be unified in order to welcome everyone and open
thailand completely so lots of interesting informations stay tuned and enjoy till the end
starting from the capital city bangkok life is getting back to normal in fast steps
where most of the businesses are open now except some minor ones and the action is
back to the city after a long time of calmness so all in all the markets malls and restaurants
are serving their customers and the curfew is ending soon letting other nighttime businesses
to prepare themselves from walking streets into night markets and more
talking about the nightlife which many of you are waiting the reopening while it was also included
in the latest announcement that it could reopen it doors starting from early december and bring back
this sector to the lights where it was doomed from the beginning of the pandemic so that's
a good news for many of you and it promises that night action could be also alive soon in thailand
so starting december 1 it will be considered allowing the consumption
of alcoholic beverages in restaurants as well as the operation of entertainment
venues to make the reopening of the nightlife complete without any exceptions
here we come to the big announcement that was said on monday evening and confirmed on friday
in which thailand will push the reopening most of the country to fully vaccinated
foreign tourists from at least five countries on november 1 as the government earlier planned
so fully vaccinated tourists from at least five low-risk countries would be allowed to
enter thailand by air with no quarantine requirements the united kingdom singapore
germany china and the united states among the first group of countries to benefit from the move
some clear preconditions are that international travelers must show a negative pcr test before 72
hours of their departure also another pcr test at their arrival and some talks are about one night
stay or maybe some time at an asq hotel till they get their results and after that they are free to
roam around and visit all the provinces that will open in november the details could be clearer
in the coming weeks but all in all there is no quarantine and that could be a good start
according to the mentioned now we have many types of entries to thailand
some with quarantine some without other joining the sandboxes some not we have discussed about
this in our friday's vlog where we said this will cause complications while applying for the coe
which could be replaced in november by another application called thailandpass where you will
apply your travel details and choose which case you are eligible with and that's not too much
pleasing and of course we will update you about this new application once it's confirmed
now why low and high risk countries when everyone is vaccinated how to categorize these countries
logically it has nothing to do with the low and high risk
rather than which countries have the most travelers to thailand
since in the list there are countries are much higher risk than some which are not included
so not everyone is welcomed under the same condition while it should be the same for all the
vaccinated tourists wherever they are coming from just like phuket sandbox the only thing announced
about this is that more countries will be added to the lowest countries in the coming months and
hopefully all will be included till january so let's wait and see and hope that will happen soon
now many tourists not included in the loris countries will reconsider joining the sandboxes
to avoid the seven days quarantine and that will be their only hope till they are welcome without
granting this will make thailand like a plane where some paid half of the price
others the double and all are heading to the same destination i don't think that's fair enough
we will wait and see what will happen throughout november and december and check if the coe will
stay and all the other expenses to enter thailand or it will be removed and opened completely
in my opinion the reopening step was not complete and the low risk high risk list should be removed
and all the vaccinated tourists should be entering the country under the same conditions since there
is no logical or scientifically differentiation moreover the coe should be dropped and the
airlines can check the vaccine passport or the pcr test and let people enjoy their vacation
at the end we all wish the comic months everything will be clearer
and much easier to everyone i hope you enjoyed this vlog we will be updating you again as
usual thank you for watching stay safe and subscribe for more from live love thailand
