Another fine mess you've got me into Anutin. 555

Further info from Barrow and Head: Almost certainly there will be no checks. If there are, it will be just for the cameras when Anutin goes to the airport on Monday afternoon. A senior government official assured me that no tourists will be deported if they are missing a document on arrival. https://twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1611942335792951296 I get the sense that the government is going through this charade as a last-minute response to public concern over the anticipated wave of Chinese tourists - while avoiding singling out the Chinese. Not clear what the new ‘requirements’ would do to curb covid anyway. https://twitter.com/pakhead/status/1611943083582840832 IMPORTANT SUMMARY of what we know so far about the entry requirements for #Thailand for flights landing on Monday. I’ve added insights from a senior government official and what we think will happen next and more importantly which rules they will drop soon. 12 further tweets: https://twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1611935556270952448
