hello everyone i hope you are all having a wonderful day so it's the second sunday of
2022 and unfortunately we are still doing updates about travel and tourism in thailand this latest
variant has changed a lot of things and it seems that things are rolling back because
of the latest cases in thailand and as you know in this week there were a lot of changes
up and downs and lots of updates so in today's vlog i'm gonna update you about
the latest situation in thailand and all the news that you should know if you are willing
to come to thailand these days so it will be a very interesting vlog let's start it right now
now my friends if you are wondering why i am putting masks in the park that are
the rules these days even if you are walking in the park you should put mess
those are the rules we have to follow the rules maybe for some it's so stupid
for some it's so important but those are the rules and we have to follow the rules
so that's why i'm keeping the mask on my face while i'm vlogging even i am in a park
so as i said my friend in the past two three days there were lots of up and downs
concerning the entry rules and regulations to thailand so some said that there will be no
more entry to thailand without quarantines others said that there will be more sandboxes well the
most confusing news was about the pre-approved qr or thailand press people that they already
had their thailand pass and some said that there will be a cut of days like 10th january or 15th
so there was too much confusing news on the media so i waited till today to be sure of everything
so that you won't be confused about this important news and if you have
the qr code or the thailand fest can you still come to thailand at any dates
so let me start with the most important news of today which is if you have already the qr code
or thailand pass can you still come after 10th or 15th january which was supposed to be the cut off
date yes you can come whatever the date of your past is you can still come to thailand that is
official so no worries the news that there are cut off days like january 10 or january 15 is not true
still if you have a qr code the silent pass and whenever you are traveling to thailand you can
still come so that was the good news of today so i wanted to start today's vlog with this news so
now let's continue about the other updates of the latest entry travel and regulations to thailand
the second good news that i want to give you my friend is that lately as
you know there was only phuket sandbox that you could apply for thailand press
the other sandboxes were all suspended now you have additional sandboxes
added to phuket sandbox which will be applied starting from 11 january like kosamui kotao and
krabi so this is a good news if you don't want to stay in phuket you have other options to stay
of course we wanted that other sandboxes will also join like bangkok chiang mai but for the
time being ko samui kotao and krabi will be start operating as sandboxes starting from january 11.
so those were the two good news for today the first one that if you have the qr code and
talent pass you can still come and the second good news is that other sandboxes are joining
phuket hoping that in the coming weeks there will be also other major sandboxes that can join phuket
if you want to come to thailand in the coming weeks now let's jump to some of
the news that i consider them a negative till now because of the latest situation
so the first bad news or let us say the negative news is that still the test and go is suspended
we were all waiting january 4 so that things can change but because of the latest variant
and the rising cases the test and go is suspended and we don't know if it will be back or not for
the time being no one can apply for test and go the only option is to apply the sandboxes
unless you will be quarantined so unfortunately that is the first bad news
the negative news that the test and go is still suspended until further notice
the second bad news or the negative news is that there will be no night lifestyle
so 16 january will not be the official date of the reopening of the night life in thailand
till now the nightlife will stay shut down and there will be no nightlife
until further notice because of the latest situation
so the only thing that you can do in thailand these days is to have some
beers or alcoholic drinks only in the blue zones and of course till the specific times
so that's the only thing till now if you love nightlife i think you should
wait because this is not the right time to come to thailand if you are night life lover
there were also some news that the alcohol permission at the restaurants will be till 9pm
so also that is a sad news for party lovers but these days as you see and rather than the opening
of the nightlife things are going back and i hope that things will be better in the coming weeks but
till now until further notice i can say that there is no real nightlife in thailand
so what does all this news means for the time being concerning travel and tourism in thailand
so all the ones who had already their qr code and talent passed
can still come without any cut off dates and the ones who are willing to enter thailand
soon they should apply only through the sandboxes if they want to avoid quarantine
now if you are not willing to apply for any sandbox then unfortunately you have
to be quarantined that's the second option to enter thailand distaste no sandbox then
it means quarantine and the quarantine this will be according to your vaccination status
so if you're vaccinated or not so the quarantine will be from
7 into 10 to 15 nights so that's the second case if you want to enter thailand these days
so if you don't apply for a sandbox as they said a happy quarantine impact
so according all to the facts that i'm talking now it means that
or unfortunately the high season has ended early in thailand according everything we have
said there will be no more tests and goals the sandboxes are reduced a couple of ones
so the high season in thailand has ended early and i don't know if in the coming weeks things
will change but what i see for the time being the cases are rising i think thailand needs time to
readjust the entry regulations and rules and for the time being these are all the latest updates
and the only good news was that the press holders can still come to thailand without a cost of dates
so my friends i hope you enjoyed this vlog at least we had some good news
i wanted to give you more positive news unfortunately because of the latest cases
and scenarios things are changing and rolling back i hope that in the coming weeks there will
be more good news that i can update you so for the time being those are the latest updates i
hope you enjoyed this vlog thank you for watching stay tuned and subscribe for more from the vlog
