Even more scary, he talks about an immediate suspension of the Test & Go after the 7th.
So as soon as January the 8th everyone would be due to AQ in Bkk or Sandbox in Pukhet...
Wow... That's even earlier...
But seriously I'm no longer hoping much by now (I was due to arrive on the 13th under the T&G scheme).
I'm basically waiting to press the "cancel" button.
I'd like to have something official though, a proof to justify cancellation in proper form after the 7th..
What a mess, I'm sad for Thai people more than for my own self, to be honest
There's only this guy from Ministry of Tourism, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn who advocates for us. But don't hold your breath. He has no weight whatsoever obviously :
EDIT : he's saying that there are still 30 000 applicants pending that would be unfairly refused access after the 10th while Thailand could perfectly handle the Omicron wave through February and March.
(Hope my listening skills are not that bad, I could have misunderstood)
