Domestic Thai visitors, which already are coming in some numbers, have other preferences than Western foreign visitors, so showing images of the deserted beach road in Chaweng – again and again – wont't change anything, it's a dedicated Western-tourist area, and it's Western tourists that is needed to make that as crowded as it used to be; it's however never were much crowded at night, except for the party areas, after the cozy market stalls with cheap-products disappeared and were replaced by up-priced brand name outlets.

 

Western tourists – and most other tourist also, for that matter – will not be coming back in numbers before the mandatory quarantine period is lifted.

Plus the ridiculous amount of money required in a bank account before people can even think about coming .........LOL

So far, no long-stay tourists have been found infected with Covid-19, though health authorities have urged Thais to keep their guard up after a symptomless man tested positive in Krabi last week.

The problem is would the government publicise it if it did happen - This is an example of how much they are trusted ...........

If not already too late Thailand needs to beware of with whom it gets into bed with, it is well known China does not play well with others ...........!!!!!

Should feed him to the crocodiles ......!!

Thailand’s deadly roads: 72 people killed on Monday, almost 12,000 killed this year

Lucky Songkran was cancelled also the time spent in Covid lockdown otherwise the figures would be much higher

What is the point, too many Thais drive without a license anyway so it will not affect them, all this will mean is more & more will be driving without a license if they fail a medical - one again a real lack of a deterrent ....LOL 

What is the point in commenting, the reasons are understood by the farang population it is the Thais who cannot or will not bring themselves to understand that the rules apply to them as well; this coupled with the none action of the police who for some reason don't want to look bad or afraid if someone is "Connected" in some way, and finally the paltry fines issued to those who commit misdemeanors who know they will only get a slap on the wrist if they get caught, until all of this is addressed absolutely nothing will change.

Foreigners must complete the mandatory 14-day ALSQ at one of eight hotels on Samui. If they then test negative for the virus, they can travel to various locations on the island, wearing an electronic wristband to monitor their movements. Any found to be infected with Covid-19 will be transferred for treatment.

I guess this will only be for farang visitors, can't see the Chinese visitors agreeing to to the 14 days plus wrist bands ............LOL

Maybe they could double as submarine pens ................LOL
