His comments sure do not help to bring tourists here I am surprised he has not been told to be quiet.

Maybe the current administration wants Thailand to be a hermit kingdom so they have to do as necessary to discourage travel there.

So far, it appears to be working

Another pearl of wisdom from the General

not a surprising result considering that most of the participants likely fall into the old/fat/comorbidity group who are likely to die if they got infected.

Even that group likely has a 98% or better survival rate

I doubt there's a single Thai University in the top 500 globally

Catching foreign tourists with covid is a big earner which is why they put so much effort into it with multiple tests and also allow them to go out and mingle for 5 days just to make sure they have the best chance to get infected

...And if the falang doesn't get infected in that 5 days of mingling, there's ways around that too!

Maybe they will eventually settle on the right thing....after they try everything else first

"The compliance would effectively contain the disease everywhere......"

Not testing seems to be the most effective way to "contain" the virus

No need to close the borders when the disincentives are already in place to deter tourist travel into the Kingdom

Nothing sets the mood for romance better than sharing COVID tests

Had Pfizer x2. Waiting on a shot of Omicron as a chaser

I'll give Boris credit if he changed after being caught violating his policy. In the US, politicians that get caught like that usually double down on their hypocrisy.

Interestingly Phuket hoteliers seems to already have raised their prices... that will surely help them getting them fully booked, can't beat their logic.

You mean when there's unlimited supply and almost zero demand, you don't raise the prices??   lol

The understatement of figures must now be huge that there is no point in even looking at the official numbers that give no clue as to what is happening.  A peak with Thailand's population should look similar to or more than the UK which was over 100k and was probably massively understated too. I know several people in the UK who caught omicron.  Since they were retired and not living with vulnerable people, they just tested at home and didn't bother to report it. 

With all the testing done in the US, the CDC estimates only 1 in 4 infections were identified between Feb 2020 -Sept 2021. It's probably 1 in 10 or much higher with Omicron. Looking at the chart and Thailand's testing vs the UK & US, one can only imagine how many actual infections there are

Wonder if the lads over at CCSA slap each other on the back and do high fives when they put together these byzantine "solutions"
