Covid vaccinations for everyone in Thailand
Everyone in Thailand - Thais and foreigners, including migrant workers - will have access to quality and safe Covid-19 vaccines, a government spokesperson said on Thursday.
The assurance was given during the daily Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration briefing at Government House, by assistant spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangson.
Everyone in the country, including foreigners, would have access to vaccines, she said.
"Vaccinations will include expatriates and migrant workers. The government intends to offer equal protection," she said.

I will have to say, bars and clubs be legally closed hasn't been a bad thing in some ways. Although the economy and businesses are hurting, staying at some hotels right now that would otherwise be very noisy at night is nice and peaceful. I'm in the JW Marriott right now and they put me in a suite facing Nana Plaza - I can actually see it from my window. Normally the noise would keep me up at night which is why I haven't returned here in many years, but it's actually quiet at night right now. Well, besides the construction they are doing on the road over there, but it isn't loud enough to reach the hotel at night, just loud when walking by the work. I would imagine staying at the Aloft would be quieter right now without the club there going - although I'm not sure if you can make any regular bookings or if it is ASQ only.

Meh.
Since COVID, when bars were open and alcohol flowed most places were dead anyway. Doubt you would have noticed. Yes, clubs and KSR (now a Thai hang-out) were quite busy and noisy.
Most expect clubs to be open by 22 Feb, if not sooner.

I have stayed in different hotels in that Soi during normal times and it's actually usually not so noisy inside the hotel despite it is one of the party-sois in Bangkok...

Thai Quarantine Hotel Sues Man For Complaining, Accusing Him Of Defamation

He had some petty complaints, like poor Wi-Fi and an obsolete television, and some more legitimate complaints, like:
- Fungus in his bed
- Water leaking from the ceiling
- A worn-out door
- An awful smell he couldn’t escape despite changing rooms three times
- Mosquitos and cockroaches; he even had to pay for bug spray in order to kill them
- His breaking point was meals that were poorly made and unhygienic, and he even found a cockroach in his meal

Behind the scenes the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Tourism Ministry, the Tourism Council, ATTA (the Association of Thai Travel Agents and the THA (Thai hoteliers' Association) have been pressing for an end to the two week quarantine that many see as a huge hurdle to the reintroduction of foreign tourism.

Even in Thailand judges at Courts of Law dislike being abused of. So the guest of the ASQ hotel has not much to fear, except being extorted some money to avoid a Court case.

April 1st.
Just in time for the Spaghetti Tree Harvest Festival.
Of course, no year specified.
Until the populace in vaccinated - and that will take at least a year - the only way to avoid standard quarrantine is to buy out a property for two weeks, or take one of the GQ (golf) packages.
A couple of million tourists isn't going to solve any issues. Barely worth turning the water and power back on for this few tourists.
And it will take years to get the airline capacity back up to 2019 levels.

Defamation laws are very strict in Thailand and are often abused of. Many service providers (hotels, restaurants, shops, condos, you name it...) prefer to start lawsuits instead of improving their products. But the judges being aware of the technique, the chances are high that with a good lawyer (this comes at a high cost, as I can testify) one will not only be absolved, but may in theory even get some compensation.

Made it! Safely ensconced at Le Meridien now.
Couple of random thoughts:
All the paperwork went through without issue. No one checked that I had downloaded / registered on the Thailand Plus App.
A flyer distributed on incoming NRT->BKK flight indicated now a requirement to download AOT app and submit T8 form there. I did so, but they only wanted the paper form, which I had also.
Overall, very well organized arrival. Took about 30 minutes. Airport was deserted. About 10 passengers on my flight.
Very happy to be back. Happier still when I can exit ASQ and get on with my visit.
Thanks for everyone that posted their experiences.
