Next step, make Thais entering the U.K buy health insurance from a U.K company. And while theyre at it, make them take a Covid test every 12 hours thereafter for the duration of quarantine ????

If the name change has chased off some of the serial (Thai specific) wingers, then im all for it. I do notice one guy who used to moan daily about the government, PM, brown paper bags, etc seems to have gone quiet. Maybe he did finally leave. 5555 yeah right, they never do????

In that case there is a quite simple fix. Keep the land borders shut and only allow foriegn entry from international flights. Of course it will not happen though, as rich, greedy Thai industry will say they are pushing for tourists, but really just want slave labour Burmese to make them that much richer. Its not just Thailand either. The most paranoid country on earth, Australia, will not even allow there OWN citizens back in the country unhindered, yet are now considering special visas for cheap migrant labour to help greedy industries bottom line. Disgusting.

Dont forget the BS health insurance. Most likely a seperate policy for Covid, and both having to be Thai companies. Many tourists will already have their own home policies paid for, therefor another 2 lots of corrupt, useless, waste of money scams will be forced on them.

When is your bet that things are going to return to normal? Call me crazy, but i cant imagine why anyone in their right mind would invest in a property that could possibly sit 80% vacant for another 1-2 years.

The convo is about attracting tourists to Thailand. In this case, im talking flights from Sydney to Bangkok, but Australians are not allowed to leave Australia anyway. Not sure what you are getting at? The easy answer is, anyone who doesnt want to leave can stay where they are.

What would be the point of doing Bangkok to Sydney? As i understand Australians wont be permitted to leave the country for some time.

Word around Isaan is that he is coming back to lead them out of Covid. So no doubt hes been fast at it making more empty promises. I just can fathom how/why those folk keep believing him
