Yes, has always been just a proposal. Don't believe all the Thai headlines you read.

Only proposals.....nothing as yet set in stone.

Does it means that a new insurance requirement for people arriving from elsewhere is coming ? No.

Thai Dep-PM and @thaimoph Anutin Charnvirakul insists tourists from “all nations will be treated equally” when they arrive in #Thailand as China is set to relax its #COVID19 restrictions on Sunday, effective allowing individual outbound tourism. (Cont.) Mr. Anutin also says that authorities will be monitoring wastewater from arriving airplanes for possible #COVID19 mutations and require travelers to be vaccinated at least twice and have health insurance as he expects Chinese tourists to arrive gradually over the year. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1610530685684682752

Another thread on incoming Chinese tourist. Mandatory insurance and testing of Chinese tourist on arrival. That should work.

How ridiculous. They always forget about the other 358 days. Unbelievable

Mass Chinese tourism to Thailand will never happen. If it does materialize, we'll know what to expect.

Covid in China: Countries tighten rules as tourism set to resume China is opening its borders after three years - but as Covid cases surge, other countries are wary. The US has become the latest country to impose mandatory Covid tests on visitors from China, after it announced it would reopen its borders next week. Tighter measures have also been brought in by Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and India. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-64111492?at_campaign_type=owned&at_link_origin=BBCBreaking&at_medium=social&at_ptr_name=twitter&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_bbc_team=editorial&at_format=link&at_link_type=web_link&at_link_id=766C39E4-86ED-11ED-9CE6-C1790EDC252D

The B.P is reporting that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha ordered the police to do anything it can to bring Red Bull scion Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya to justice after he went into hiding following his fatal hit-and-run case in Bangkok a decade ago. Link not provided.

We're waiting for the request for bail to be approved Now where did I put that <deleted> ticket?

I’ve never really understood the need to pay for a re-entry permit in order to be allowed to come back into the country using the one-year extension of stay we’ve already paid for. This is like being taxed every time we want to leave the country. Do other countries do like this? https://twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1607631829846331392

Only applies to the Red Bull case.

4 Thai navy sailors died, 77 rescued and 24 still missing after a navy corvette capsized in stormy weather on Sunday night. Large search operation underway in the Gulf of Thailand. Navy says corvette did not launch life rafts and that there were insufficient life jackets on board Navy has corrected its figures - 5 dead, only 1 rescued today, 76 rescued in total, 24 missing. A lot for the navy investigation to answer - how could a naval combat vessel be sunk by a freak wave? Did something else go wrong? Why go into a storm with insufficient life vests? https://twitter.com/pakhead/status/1605158146040745984

Why do they have to mention that she was wearing a black bra?

The problem with all these different threads is that many members respond to most of them. I certainly didn't move to Thailand to spend most days and nights on a discussion forum. There are more things to do in life. Not another thread on WrLife.
