one two three
hello everyone i hope you are all having a wonderful day
almost one month for thailand partially opening where tourists were entering
under three categories and rules some enjoying the test and go
other sandboxes and the unvaccinated group now things are getting better and much easier where
thailand announced some easing rules that makes entering thailand smoother and why not cheaper
in this vlog we are going to talk about thailand now and how with the new tourist
things are changing gradually where some cities are getting better and some are still the same
the new easing entry rules and how to enter thailand now besides what are the things that
tourists are enjoying these days and how the nightlife is limited and may reopen before
the announce date also the strict rules to wear masks and some of the scams to avoid
when booking your hotel so lots of interesting informations stay tuned and enjoy till the end
as i said tourists are back and the numbers are increasing but if these are the expected
numbers then i say no the rules and obligations and the risky mission is still putting sticks
in the wheels and maybe with the new easing steps things can change and more can be excited to come
to thailand the situation is changing slowly and you can see the slight change if you take a walk
or visit some major touristic areas but all in all it's not that much
bangkok is better and mostly changing the action is on somehow and you can see tourists here and
there and maybe everywhere cause statically most of the new arrivals are through sugar nabumi
airport and the capital city attracting the majority of tourists before they head into
other destinations like phuket but if we come to pattaya and chiang mai then nothing much
and the numbers are so slow sometimes now
and that goes also to the lack of nightlife and action which making pattaya a dead
city if we take a walk in pattaya city you will see that still nothing to mention and the bars
clubs are closed because no alcohol serving is permitted unlike phuket where some action is
back and all in all things are good although it's only till 11 pm but better than pattaya at least
you can enjoy some nightlife and we don't know how long pattaya can survive without nightlife
and why tourists must visit pattaya because there are better shores than there
as we said more easing rules has been announced lately as we were predicting that things can
be much better in december and now some better regulations are going to be applied starting from
december and this will make entering thailand much easier and also cheaper so what are they
now for the 63 countries that are from the test and go group
things are much better now and i can say that two things have totally changed first cheaper
options second no real quarantine anymore so these are the new rules for these groups
the test and go group will no longer require to have a pcr test at arrival
but instead an atk test which is cheaper and faster so this is the first thing changes
hence now you can get your result faster and moreover this means no more waiting anymore
the second thing is that they have only to book a transportation to any hotel they like to take
the atk test rather than the obligatory list of hotels so again better choices and cheaper so
here it means you can book any hotel not the ones from the sha plus list so with these two rules
the test and go group now is enjoying faster and cheaper options now what about the sandbox group
again they will replace the pcr test with atk test at arrival which means at the hotel they
have booked and again this way it's faster for them to enjoy freedom after the quick test result
hence they could go outside their hotels from the first day and enjoy their vacation
the second thing about the sandboxes group is that they now have to book five days of hotel
rather than seven days that was before that's really amazing
two last more days and moreover less expenses this way you are only obliged to stay five days in that
sha plus hotel and i am sure it could be less and maybe no more in the coming months
now these rules are developing and more details will be available in the coming days
so we will have a detailed vlog about this rules on thursday
so please stay tuned and it will be clearer now let's jump to our next part of this vlog
well lots of you are wondering what are the things that these tourists are enjoying nowadays
while they are in thailand the answer is they are enjoying everything available from temples
into historical landmarks street food the walking streets the night market and all
the new events that are now from christmas and new year decorations and surely the action will
be more in december when we are at the festive month from shopping into hopping so all in all
once you are there the options are a lot the only thing is you have to do is just follow the rules
for the nightlife lovers i can say that the action is limited till now and the reopening
of the nightlife is jumping from date into other well till now it's mentioned to open in january 16
where it was postponed from december 1. but as i said it could jump again but this time backward
yes could reopen earlier nothing for sure but things can be cleared
in early december and it all depends on the situation so let's hope for the best
all in all for the time being you can enjoy some drinks have some fun enjoy some walking streets
and if we can say you can party between brackets and do as much as it's possible
following the rules and keeping the safety measures by social distancing barriers masks and
more yes i know it's not fun but rules are rules and if you don't follow you won't be so much happy
i was saying that you should follow the rules because lately a lot of foreigners were not
wearing the mask according to the news not that i have seen so they were warned if they
don't follow the rules and don't use the mask in the public areas and party or have fun without
it then they will pay fines and that will make some extra expenses besides the ones that they
are paying to enter thailand so beware followed rules safety measures above all because of useless
and unresponsible acts you may harm others so easy cheesy wear your masks and have fun
now lately there were some news about scams or maybe misleading from some hotels
while they were booked and this was causing problems for the tourists
when they were applying for the thailand test so what are they and how to avoid them
the frequently changing rules are causing scams or misleading the tourists
while they are booking their hotels where some are booking the rooms without the test
and the transportation this way getting an uncomplete reservation
and in that way they have to pay for their test and transportation and buy another package
my advice to you first always check the new rules before you book your hotel second buy a complete
package with the test and the hotel transportation and never only the room contact the hotel directly
not the booking site i will talk about the details of the new packages this thursday so stay tuned
so my lovely subscribers and viewers all i can say that the best is yet to come the rules and
the requirements of the entry will change month after month and the more you wait the more it
will be easier and cheaper and traveling to thailand will be much fun than heading so i will
be talking and updating you about the new rules and more details on thursday so stay tuned and
don't miss it for now thank you for watching stay safe and subscribe for more from live love time
you
