Posts: 360COVID vaccine roll-out could take months to curb spread of virus says PROF Karol Sikora.
So today is the day. A Covid-19 vaccine is being rolled out across the country and by the time you're reading this, thousands and thousands of people will have already received their first dose.

And every country has differing roll out dates over years and some have no roll out dates at all.

There would be, I imagine, in some of those planes, a small number of passengers, Thais who managed to get repatriated, key officials etc. But few of them are Nana Plaza bound. Mongers are so far down the list we are not on the list. Thai muff, for the foreseeable future, is off the menu, for me, maybe forever as I am not taking any half cooked vaccine.

I'm guessing mainly for freight inbound to Bkk and both freight and passengers outbound.
The link on the Thai Embassy Washington DC site for the list of approved "semi-commercial" (whatever that means) flights to Swampy seems to have broken, but via the Thai Embassy Kazakhstan site it appears at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=686263740 (says last updated 7 December).
On a side note the Thai hot air factory (Ministry of Tourism / TAT) has floated a proposal that the duration of the Visa Waiver be extended from 30 to 45 days from September next year. Note Visa Waiver is what most short term visitors from Europe, North America, Australia and NZ travel on. It is sometimes referred to as a "Visa on Arrival" but that is actually a different species for visitors from China, India, etc.

Posts: 110Thailand opening up
Got excited when I saw the news below but there is still a 14 days mandatory quarantine at designated hotels so unlikely to be many taking up that except retirees with lots of time and the intention of staying in Thailand a few months. For me I am a few days trip type. Wait till vaccine roll out and relaxed restrictions. Now if they really want to boost tourism and they offered quarantine in a suite of a hotel with 5 girls of your choice then I think they might see tourist numbers shoot up.

That was back in normal times. I can only imagine how different it will be for the next many months.

I drink coffee with a guy who left in March he was supposed to be gone a month he is still in Boston. Based on his Line message he has tried a number of times he said the list is long and confusing to follow? He went to the airport mid-November and got turn back next line message said it will be Christmas after he gets his shot? You get the idea here?
3rd hand, again guy not the sharpest tool in the shed? He has a Thai wife only speaks English, started in late July still not here. They contacted the Thai Embassy in L. A. Never got a reply finally they got lead to the right track contact an Embassy back East coast. Said much of the information was confusing one day it was this next something else and she was talking to a Thai representative on the phone in Thai. She for whatever reason booked a flight on Eva her normal airline of choice for Dec 5th, in the end, the Embassy contacted her and said you can only go on this airline which is Korean with a long layover and they have scheduled her for Dec 23rd so I will know then?
Today, at my brother's house he lives in a project a Thai ladies run the complex speak great English married to a German goes back and forth she has been gone since May? She has been out of quarantine for 5 days once I heard I put my mask on she startd to laugh. She said even for a Thai national she went through hell to get back said the list is extension and confusing even for her charge her a arm and a leg for testing and quarantine. She said " don't leave "!

Planes from Amsterdam, Tokyo, HK, Manila, Indonesia, some other places. Maybe if you refresh the link, other flights will show up.
Many cancelled flights, I imagine. Guess you might have to develop some social skills in these asocial times. Thailand and similar places are off the menu until at least summer 2021. Mongers wanting to shoot their load are not a priority.

I agree with your comment even if you check all the boxes applying does not mean getting. It seems some embassies in the same way some immigration offices here treat applications differently.
Overall I guess extending the STV to all countries is a step in the right direction and we will have to wait and see how a certificate of vaccination might change requirements such as cutting out the $100,000 insurance.
