    It does not make sense to me there is going to be a sudden exponential explosion of cases in Thailand if there hasn't been already though I'm happy to be proven wrong. Thailand has one of the highest number of Chinese tourists in the world. The virus has been here since the beginning. At first cases were probably misdiagnosed and not reported but I am not seeing proof of exponential growth. I am seeing linear growth and a low death rate.

    Warmer climate + Wearing masks + less hugging & shaking hands than a lot of western countries = fewer cases.

    You accuse him of not being a medical expert then go on to tell people how long they will locked down for like you are. ......and please don’t tell me the experts have said a year because they haven’t. 

    "this is a novel virus, so nobody knows the real longevity or outcome as of yet"

    it's a medical fact, so you can't really argue with that.

    if i were you, i'd just fly into Vientiane, walk across the bridge, and then fly to U-Tapao or wherever is closest to your ultimate destination. I'm planning to spend 7 months with a METV visa and there's no way I'm risking being denied entry at BKK airport after a ~30hr flight + the cost of the visa. 

    But are there any flights from the west to Laos? or would you fly to bkk and then to laos?

    So for you it's normal he had to call his gf?What if he didn't have a gf?If he want a beach vacation only then what?They should clarify their rules and stop bothering tourists.Right now they should be happy for every tourist what comes here.

    Exactly, if only allowed 1 tourist visa per year, then okay, fine, make that an official rule. It really is that simple!

    Being 20 years here, it is my experience that most of them are acting this way for a reason.

    But than it is possible that I mostly met the wrong people.

    Please do elaborate....  because I'm not talking about stinking, dirty tourist areas like Pattaya and Phuket, I'm talking about in real local areas where thney just want to have a conversation with me and learn about my culture and views on this life

    They want farangs who like Russians/Chinese/Indians come with their children and wives like family men spend their holidays and go home. They want Thailand to be a family holiday destination not the kind of holiday destination it is reputed to be amongst farangs.

    Yes, Chinese. they love them, they love Indians, come for 2 weeks, spend as much as you can and F off out.  that is the attitude, you are correct.

    Thailand has changed a lot since 2012, etc....when they were happy to have us and the baht was 34 or higher. I haven't been back since 2018 and am not planning another visit.

    EXACTLY. It is hardly worth it anymore for a lot of people. But many will say it's great and nothing wrong with it here because they are anchor holding them here. I.E wife and kids, but no way out, some are stuck, so they just convince themselves it's fine.
