Don't have to be an expert to realise Omicron is so infectous that it is almost certain everyone will catch it which hopefully will result in herd immunity. It is still very important to be vaccinated to reduce serious illness

Try telling this to officials who are destroying the  tourist industry by incarcerating tourists who test positive for Omiricron in very expensive hospitals when they have no other symptoms 

It's all very sad. The best advice is not to travel to Thailand until Covid is under control and the entry requirements are very clear and unambiguous. It appears that the Government makes the rules for entry into Thailand but that provincial Governors have the authority to make other rules.  

Pity the Government does not take traffic deaths seriously. If they put half the efforts in trying to control traffic fatalities as  they have in trying to  stop Covid it would help but unfortunately  drink driving is part of Thai culture and cannot be blamed on foreign tourists 

The answer is stay at home save your money for better times without tracking apps and quarantine holidays.

Omicron is already in the country and very contagous so anyone entering the country has more chance of contracting it from local transmission rather than fully vaccinated, tested foreign entries. 

Under estimate probably about 100,000 to 200,000 every day as Comricron is very infectious. Hopefully will burn it self out and be mild within about 4 weeks after it reaches its peak . That will be tested cases actual cases could  4  to 5  times higher. Herd immunity will hopefully be the final outcome.

Now that the bars are closed they are now visiting massage shops with their collection boxes. 

Extraordinary comments look back to the beginning of the Pandemic when Thailand was boasting a safe country free of Covid and then what happened. Let's hòpe history does not repeat its self with comicron and that he was not under the influence of something else freely available in the Golden Trangle.

Absolutely correct even attending state schools it is very expensive for transportation costs contributing to school expenses writing materials etc and school uniforms. Poor families do not have access to the internet nor computers for remote learning. This is not confined to rural areas but also tourists locations where their parents are now out of work without any help whatsoever from the Government.

Thailand was losing tourists to Vietnam and Cambodia before the pandemic mainly because it had become too expensive so they may already have their wish and must accept the gravy train is finished.  No doubt Chinese tourist will return at some time but they mainly come in groups following the flag not helping most of the unregistered Thai's who are now unemployed.

Sex workers are human beings many of whom had been supporting families and children  This is a way of life which they have been forced into whether they like it or not and deserve sympathy and help in these difficult times.

Omicron is impossible to keep out and will probably already be spreading fast. If it is mild maybe end of pandemic but to date no one knows. Vaccination will help so get vaccinated if you can
