Unlikely to find omicron any time soon in Thailand, they barely do any testing worth mentioning.

Never going to happen, too many people, mostly the RTP will loose their income if they legalize it.

Fantastic outcome, and it's highlighted a problem I hadn't realised existed. My daughter has lessons in a pool where she is required to wear a hat, however, when the lesson is finished the kids all move into another pool for some fun, and the hats often come off.

Travelling to USA from Uk, just opened up today. 1. Book Flight. 2. PCR test within 72 hours of flight. 3. Double vaccination proof either on phone or certificate. 4. All checked at check in. 5. On arrival USA all checked at passport control. END OF STORY.

I doubt whether real tourists will jump through all the hoops to get here, so the roads should be OK for a while yet.

I just do not see ordinary tourists going through all that trouble to go on holiday.

So clearly going to Thailand to have a holiday, and enjoy yourself, is not allowed. Why would anyone bother to come!!!

The burning season about to start!!!

There seems to be the assumption that you make entry complicated, and tourists assume it's in their best interests, to protect them. Instead potential tourists see it all, and go somewhere else.

It's no doubt a good idea, get some fun back into life again. However, masks and a maximum of 500 people are potentially going to kill it.

Solar is an obvious way forward in Thailand, however, you will never see private solar feeding the national grid, not allowed here. It is also very expensive to install, and as usual, poor quality.

It is there again. The assumption that tourists will drive an increase in Covid.

If you were down wind of that smoke you would have known all about it. Saying there was no impact is a downright lie.

I watched the CNN report, interesting, obviously been going on for some time. The government response is what you might expect, on the other hand I'm a little surprised that this hasn't been classified as "fake news"

I first came to Thailand in 2006. In those days there was a favorable exchange rate, it was relaxed and very few issues, good circle of friends. Fast forward to 2018, poor exchange rate masses of tourism, most of my friends left. Everything that I enjoyed now expensive. I left Thailand before the pandemic struck, on a holiday. I haven't returned since, and when I do come back it will be for a short holiday. Retiree's beware.

Things must be getting desperate for them to wheel him out to give an order!!!!!

It's not only Chiang Mai, but Chiang Rai is rife as well, just nobody really talking about it.

Many international flights come via intermediate hubs in the Middle East. So if those countries are not on the list, then quarantine is still likely to apply.

I wonder whether Covid 19 actually listens to our PM giving his "Orders"....................... possibly not!

Clearly not written by the Thai Government, this is the way the Chinese operate.

The number of recovered patients is totally irrelevant, what counts is the number actually in Hospital and in ICU

I suggest he takes a trip around the country, and looks at how the people are suffering because of the government's incompetence, and lack of support financially. Listen to what they say about Sinovac. He has just stood up in parliament and announced fake news. However, nothing will change, because the Thai population are still not at the stage whereby they will refuse to take this nonsense that is spoken on their behalf. Meanwhile the country continues to be raped, very sad.

Not quite the same as travelling somewhere in Europe now. You really would think at least someone would realise that people are not going to jump through those hoops. I am waiting to come back to see family, but until the requirements are back to near normal, it's not going to happen, and herd immunity is not reached at 70%, that's already clear in Europe.

I don't know anywhere else where they put out the recovered numbers. It's a worthless statistic.

If they want REAL tourists to come, they need to start looking at what other countries do. People want beach holidays where you can actually go on the beach without wearing a mask or unable to drink. Its ridiculous.
