Prime minister announced he will "consider" 10 country from 1st november then extended from 1st december and so on. Consider is the key word, i believe people who live enough time in Thailand especially during this covid thing, know it means nothing sure. Same "Consider" word has been used for the reopening of bar and entertainment venue from 1st december... this can be found on news. Just saying, after to each their own decision

So Thailand goes off the UK red list tomorrow. For the thai residents here, any update on the Sandbox programme for Bkk/patts? What do you think the chances are of the go go bars opening up again soon?

Unfortunately difficult to say, it has beens shown on the past their ability to say one thing and change at the very last minute. Bkk, Pattaya, Hua Hin, are suppose to reopen without quarantine on 1st november, that their last statement after already postpone it 2 times. So let see on 31 october what they will say. Regarding gogo/bar reopening, thats another story. Keep in mind that even in Phuket it is not open yet, only restaurant bar are allowed to open with alcohol. I would not be surprise if nothing change until january 2022, especially they start to call locals for a third booster dose for the one who got Sinovac. I would say better being patient and book after things are really open, and not just on a statement that might change. Remember all the one who booked flights last year around the same period then they delayed at last minute, or even the one who came doing quarantine and so on to be then blocked with all bar closed... Lot of risk to my sense

Fingers crossed of course. I get my vaccine Monday, so maybe the passport will be in effect by then. 2 days in BKK, then head south to Pattaya for 10 days, then close it out back in BKK for 3 days. Saw that Dynasty Grande is closed. That's my spot in BKK so hope that is open. Staying at The Base is in Pattaya. Can't wait to see some old friends and make some new ones. Haven't been back in almost 2 years now - sad face.

Are you aware so far you will still need to do some quarantine?! No quarantine for vaccinated people is on the pipeline for october 2021 (maybe July for Phuket). Or you talk for 2022 but if i am not mistaken they mentioned vaccine need to be not more than 6 months old.
