If that data becomes sufficiently peer reviewed, I would see no reason that Thailand would continue the quarantine requirements for appropriately vaccinated tourists. My guess is such data would need to be reviewed for each of the vaccines as not all use the same technology as the Pfizer.

Their whole argument is so contradictory. First they travel half way across the world for sex because it's cheaper. Then when they get there they say hey it's more expensive where I just came from so let me pay more. Why don't you just stay where you are and save yourself the expense and hassle of travelling?

Posts: 3040A new report in Bangkok Post suggests the quarantine may be waived for vaccinated travelers. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business...nated-tourists.
Of course this is pure newspaper speculation and I would be as surprised as anyone if it actually happens before a significant proportion of the Thai population is inoculated, but at least the Govt is thinking about it so maybe something will happen as the rate of new Corona infection slows down in the vaccinated countries.

Anyway I meant to post this in the a different forum because that's where the conversation was happening but I won't name it because people in that forum already seem disgruntled about the growing popularity of it, but that's the page I've been checking. I assumed the mods deleted it until I realized it was posted here. I don't want to pretent like I'm an economist and I can explain exactly why the prices are what they are, but I just wanted to try and move the conversation past the idea that people who are willing to pay a bit more so that the service provider will be happy and thus try to make them happy too, are somehow ruining it for everyone.

Posts: 3166It all comes down to if there isn't a factory in Thailand there is going to be an import duty on it. When it comes BMW depending on the model and series if it has a factory in Thailand making a specific model then it will avoid the duty which can range 30-40% more. When it comes to the Mini Cooper there isn't the same with Volkswagon you want a Beetle it is going to cost you even in the gray market.
As for Toyota same if it isn't made here like the Supra it is considered an Import same with the Lexus. If you are looking for a small vehicle to run around in Pattaya travel as far as Bangkok, I suggest one like the Suzuki (the one that looks like a Mini Cooper) a Toyota Yaris, even the MG, the motors are like 1. 2 CC these little cars run for like 560,000 and have lots of go and loaded with all the bells and whistles.
My first vehicle here because of my wife Yaris 2006,1. 5 runs and runs still like new with 115,000 never broken down or need emergency service.
As for a Truck got a new one in late 2018, of course, Toyota although I went to the car show and saw all the models I was tempted with the Ford anything vehicle American I will never take a chance again. I checked into shipping my Jeep (Hemi) over but after long research not ever heard anyone with a success story decided against it. I got a pretty good truck Hilux E plus with 2. 4 l, 4 door Auto 7 Speed, list at 899,000 all the extra added after several dealerships finally got one down to 859,000 out the door. Great truck.
As for used, you got a better chance in Bangkok nearly all Pattaya dealerships don't sell used but they do in Bangkok and some provide warranties with them. As for prices, it seems in Pattaya there are a number of lots I venture to look at regularly out of interest they basically work for the banks and repo cars due to nonpayment, they run through the vehicles shine them up, etc provide a 30-day warranty even finance but the prices seem to be based on how much is left payment prior to repo? Many times I've seen two same models vehicle one had more miles and went for more this is the same with used motorbikes.

However, brand new foreign brand cars are expensive in mainland China. I've priced out a few different brand of SUV's both in mainland China, and Japan. Was much higher than in the states.
Although as another poster noted, pickup trucks in Thailand could be different. You see a lot them here, but I haven't priced any out.
Ford assembles the Ranger over in it's Rayong plant though.

In Japan I would just buy domestic Japanese cars. Think I would buy a Supra there. Only saw 1 in Thailand.
