Another 6 groups of foreigners to be allowed entry in July

Six more groups of foreigners are set to be allowed to enter Thailand in July, the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) announced on Monday (June 29).

Authorities had already permitted experts and foreigners with Thai work permits to enter Thailand from July 1.

The six additional groups proposed by the Foreign Affairs Ministry are:

1. Foreign spouses and children of work permit holders.

2. Foreigners with residency rights in Thailand.

3. Foreigners married to Thais.

4. Foreigners and their carers seeking medical treatment in Thailand (except for Covid-19).

5. International students and their guardians.

6. Short-stay business travellers and guests of the government from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China and Hong Kong – as per special arrangements made with these countries.

The special arrangement will initially allow entry to 200 foreigners per day. That number will increase when more alternative state quarantine (ASQ) rooms are made available. The special arrangement will allow entry to groups of no more than 10 people for a short period. Visitors will be tested for Covid-19 prior to travel and on arrival in Thailand, where they will be monitored constantly by health and security officials. They must submit their Thailand itinerary in advance and will only be allowed to travel by private car.

Foreigners work permit (WP3) and/or BOI certificate holders should contact their local Royal Thai Embassy or consulate for a permit to travel to Thailand. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) will arrange seats aboard repatriation flights for eligible passengers.

Their ability to conjure up unworkable, unenforceable and quite stupid regulations is really beyond compare. Possibly the only people in the world to be devoid of the common sense chromosome.
Quite fascinating but ultimately ridiculous.

I spoke recently to an expat mother of a student currently attending international school who told me she and her son could return from a home visit before the beginning of the next term but they would be required to quarantine in one of the two Pattaya hotels contracted to provide this facility. Now, both these hotels are in a category that is currently offering rooms at 1000 to 1500 baht per night, given the parlous state of the industry. However, the quarantine fee my acquaintance was told she would have to pay the government would be 50,000 baht per person for the 15 nights. From the information recently disclosed in the 'alleged' scandal local ' forces of influence' were extorting bribes from hotels wishing to offer quarantine accommodation, we know that the authorities were paying hotels a flat rate to include the provision of food of 1,000 baht per day.

Truly, one just tires of them.
