This is ridiculous! If you want tourism to come back to normal with tourists coming here again you need to start opening the restaurants at least. Drinking in restaurants can at least be controlled.

There will be a lot of people watching this case very closely to see the outcome. If it goes the wrong way for the expat the Thais will be shooting themselves in the foot again. However, it will depend whether there was any hanky-panky business on behalf of the wife!

But does the lifting of quarantine requirements also apply to residents returning to Thailand?

You can bet your bottom dollar that it won't be retrospective!

How do they think that they are going to get wealthy expats to live and invest here if they are still discriminating against us? It's as if we don't exist!

I agree with many of the above sentiments. We need to get Thailand opened up to its residents before even considering allowing free movement of tourists. A start would be to allow restaurants to fully open, ie, serving both food and booze, and things will move on from there. Many older tourists come to Thailand to enjoy the good Thai and international food here.

Words are cheap. How many people have died despite taking the <deleted> Sino ax?
