It's getting more complicated.
I have all the documents needed (vaccination and insurance) for entry into Thailand since they don't require a Covid test.
I'll only be staying for a few days, though, then I'm moving on to Canada.
Technically I'm not transiting in Bangkok, so there's no connecting flight, but Canada will still want the covid test (in English or French) because I've been in China within 10 days.
As usual it seems the only notification I receive is from GoKunming forums. Airline and travel agent have not given any notification and browsing the web just in the past hour yields nothing from Thailand either.
The change in arrival is confirmed by a story on CNN this morning. I notice that even though there is no quarantine, it may still be necessary to have a negative covid test:
"Travelers still must take a Covid test before arriving in China, but passengers will no longer need to submit their results to a Chinese embassy or consulate and apply for a code. Starting January 8, travelers can test and display the result before they board the plane."
I'm interested in the answer to Kelisi's question, but since I'll be going out in January and returning in late February or early March the rules may have changed a dozen times between now and then.
Foreign visitors are only going to be short term, rather than guests simply because the new visa regulations have shortened the amount of time visitors can stay in China.
I'm beginning to believe that the general population here is either not concerned with food safety or has no concept of it.
Yesterday while walking up Longquan Lu, we passed a man butchering a pig - in the middle of the (dirty) sidewalk in front of his restaurant.
Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.
While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.
Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.
If I lived closer I would be a regular here.
