He said that the new COVID-19 outbreak indicates that there are loopholes in the enforcement of regulations and health safety guidelines, allowing illegal migrants to enter Thailand and obtain work.

I do believe this should read "He said that the new COVID-19 outbreak confirms that there are loopholes" ............LOL

Under the conditions of the law change is that it will apply only highways with at least two lanes running in the same direction

They have this law ? the rest of Thailand has four lanes whereby one can travel in whichever direction one chooses .................LOL

Will the government's move inspire any more tourists to come to the country?

It is very doubtful, the ASQ cash cow is way too expensive .......!!!!

Sources close to the Thai delegation said the Thachilek governor agreed to Maj-Gen Narith’s request to arrange for the orderly repatriation of Thais, but they must register first and pay fines for illegal entry, without facing imprisonment.

So this is the reason they are skipping the legal route ...................LOL

A deputy national police chief has ordered related police units to impose more stringent border control measures to prevent illegal entry during the holidays, while urging officers to prosecute persons who have illegally returned from Myanmar

And charge them with what exactly and what will the penalties be - Bht500 & a wai I suppose, one day the authorities will understand what a deterrent is ..............LOL

One has to wonder what would have happened if they were not friends ..........!!!

This is mainly directed at domestic (Thai citizen) tourists who if hospitalized would not be paying for it.

 

Even if you were a foreigner paying out of pocket though the bill for 14 days in the public system would be well under 100,000, it's very inexpensive.

 

Could you push the bill over 100,000 at the most expensive private hospital, sure you could. But it doesn't have to cost that, and the typical cost of Covid isolation/treatment for who this is directed at would not come anywhere near 100k.

Tell this to the Thai government who insist on using high priced hospitals for all others .................LOL

Tourists told: If you came to Chiang Mai and got Covid we'll give you 100,000 baht

Apart from the inconvenience of having this disease this amount would not cover the hospitalisation even if you could prove that it was directly as a result of the lady in question (WHICH I DOUBT) in other words this is just a scam that they should be ashamed of starting.
