      well here's hoping this plan moves forward. i fear that when the decision gets finalized they'll start with some local countries like korea and hong kong. but we shall see. i'll keep you updated on this channel every time news comes out Andy.

      You should contact the embassy since those foreigners (whom not tourists) having business, houses, families or spouses in Thailand are allowed to go with state quarantine or alternative state quarantine. They would allocate the date and time and procedures for you.

    Hi, it’s Rocco from Canada here. A new subscriber that just found your channel and is loving it.
    Please don’t listen to stupid people and their comments. Just keep doing what you’re doing, as I believe your channel has not only interesting as well as important content, but also a great representation. I’ll be waiting for your sign that says: “GO”. I can’t wait to get out of here. I’m 58 years old and like to go to Bangkok to get my teeth fixed. I was thinking of spending at least 6 month in Thailand and a 2 to 3 week quarantine time wouldn’t hold me back at all. Better 3 weeks anywhere in Thailand than 3 weeks of winter in Canada.

      Mike Albanese. We would love nothing more than to stay here in the Kingdom. Have asked for an extension from American embassy. They have denied us a Visa extension and said to make our way back to USA...I would have fought this but have been gone from USA for almost a year and need to get to a wedding that has already been postponed once due to the pandemic...just hoping to be able to return in the next year or so...no worries hopefully!

    I think Thailand gov't is quite liking their time in the spotlight of being a covid -free haven. Considering the political issues and the economic hardship, it's only a matter of time till the decision is probably made for the country and they will open up. I welcome the program because I think if it's successful then it's a gateway into more tourism in the winter months (hopefully).

    Hi Chris! Thank you for this latest update and for your very positive disposition! It's aways a joy to watch your latest post! I'm in Northern California at the moment and am waiting to return to Thailand. The proposed Phuket plan sounded very hopeful, and this snowbird plan would be great as well. My concern is that the Thai government may only want to open the borders to countries that have moderate amounts of Covid-19 activity. The USA might be a little bit on the high side! We'll see what happens! Thank you!

    I guess it’s one thing Thailand having a plan in place, but another seeing how many are willing to visit the country. 2 weeks quarantine is still a long time to be stuck in a hotel. That being said I’m sure if Thailand offered this then neighbor states will be quick to offer similar and reopen the backpacker trail and see people flocking in!

    As a country with 20% of GDP comes from tourism industry, Thailand is so needing tourists both long-term and short-term right now. Many islands in South of Thailand now look so deserted and so quiet. I can't even imagine Thailand without tourists for one more year, that would be devastating!

    What visa are you on? Most foreigners have to leave Thailand before Sept 26.

    I saw one of your videos. Thank God somebody went for Korean food where their bill was 1,000 Baht. I was so sick of cheap street food for 60 Baht. Nice variety and you covered a lot of more expensive options too. Great job! There is a wide range, in Bangkok and most people don’t know this because of all the UA-camrs only eating street food.

    Thanks for the update
    Id probably do the quarantine "costs going to be an issue for many" i think they might also end up doing it in Bangkok and Pattaya as well as Phuket think its been suggested
