    They're having a meeting.... there is a "detailed plan"....

    Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will today chair a meeting of the Centre for Economic Situation Administration and discuss a detailed plan to drive the reopening of the country's tourism industry.

    The meeting via video-conference will also discuss economic stimulus and investment-promoting measures.

    Details and progress to prepare to reopen the country's key tourist destinations in provinces that will take part in the pilot phase will be presented and discussed at today's meeting, along with those of other economic stimulus and investment promotion measures, said government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri on Thursday.


    New measures designed to boost confidence among foreign investors in Thailand's real-estate sector will also be among the investment promotion measures to be rolled out, he said.
    PM puts focus on tourism

    I was reading today that the phuket “sandbox” model will not be 7 days on the island with a covid test on the 5th day, but a full 14 days on the island and 2 covid tests, in order to leave the island and go other places within Thailand. You of course need to be vaccinated to partake in this “model”.

    And even if you own a property in phuket and want to stay there, you can’t. There are kunts in the tourism industry that are pushing for people to have to buy “packages” for the duration of your 14 day “island quarantine”

    Its a real shitshow and they haven’t even hammered out the COE stuff for it.

    Can’t see how anyone would fork over that much money to go to a largely dead island but who knows.

    Also if you fail your covid tests you will be shipped off to hospital for god knows how many days and you’ve got zero choice in the matter lmao.

    I just purchased a 90 day policy from here and it was instantaneously accepted by the Dubai Thai Consulate. This was after denying my employers policy because the wording was too generic. Got pre approval within 5 hours. Just waiting on flights now for the final COE upload.

    COVID insurance for Thailand'''s foreign visitor... :: AXA Thailand

    All the good ASQ hotel suites with balcony’s are all fully booked FFS so it appears I’ll be locked in for the whole shit.

    I also read that you have to *book* and *pay for* an SHA hotel but there doesn't appear to be any mechanism to ensure that you *stay* in it...

    I see Barrow also says there will be no exception to the national no-booze rule.

    If it's lifted for Phuket it will be lifted everywhere; he specifically refers to hotels and restaurants.

    Bangkok. There’s a few rooms with a balcony but all the suites with big TVs that I can find are booked up. Right now I have to choose between a crummy room with a balcony or a good suite without a balcony.

    Did you try any of the Centrepoint ones? The balconies aren't big but they have lots of rooms with them.

    The TV's are 42" I think, good enough.

    I keep looking at the center point ones but the tv looks shit in the pics.

    kinda frustrating really as my top 5 choices are fully booked so I’ve resorted to asking the hotels when their rooms will be available so I can book accordingly. Terrified to book an unknown and it end up being shit and being stuck there for over 2 weeks.

    Silom.

    Instead of looking, why don't you ask them?

    They just replied and said they were 32” in all their suites, which is unfortunate as the suites look good and they have some availability.

    The hunt continues.

    Whelp ended up booking the Movenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Suite with two balconies and two 55” TVs for 90k baht......

    ..... And forgot to confirm if you can hook up an HDMI cable to the TV. Some of the larger franchises like Hilton & Sheraton use “hotel TVs” with weird interface and no ability to change the input.

    So now I’m having regrets/concerns.

    I might have a borderline phobia about being isolated in a room with nothing to do and not being able to leave.

    Just the thought if it makes me need my fainting couch.

    I've got a jigsaw that's too hard for me if you want it.
