very likely the sample did not include many from the tourist dependent sector. it is a difficult decision but i feel it is better to be cautious rather than rushing into too quick opening.

have fun but do not let your guard down. still advised to observe social distancing and wearing mask for safety.

They still haven't completed the first Bali Hai marina fiasco - what makes them think they can pull this off?

there is no harm in dreaming.

well earned and deserved relaxations.

WOW Yet Another -WHAT are your qualifications to speak out ???

doubt you need any serious qualifications to decide that. the outcome of their actions speaks for itself.

that is precisely what president trump is saying: that WHO did not collect the correct information from source and disseminate it to the world, resulting in the chaos to world economy and population.

why is ko samui so infamous for murder?

Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong, Vietnam....

japan - certainly not at this stage.

you cannot be discreet about public issue. you can take calculated risks and open up tourism in stages but be discreet about it? how????

Ypur wife's income obviously doesn't depend on foreign tourism. My wife instead has 2 businesses, depending very much on foreign tourism and has a totally different opinion than yours. And me, too.

you cannot win all, can you?

good effort to try to attract international tourists. what about the safety precautions to protect the thais from imported cases who might infect the locals. what protocol will be adopted for that.

that is about seven years overstay. strange that he did not get monitored. does the immigaration department not have a system of tracking overstayers?

At a very affordable price no-doubt.... what services are available in the luxury accommodation, are you allowed visitations etc??

quarantine will not allow visitations or free movement,

bona fide tourists are not likely to use this service as nobody will like to be quarantined for 14 days. those who are will possibly return most likely will have their previous contacts and use their facilities.

Too bad if you're European or USA , won't be seeing the GF for a couple of years, but no worry she wait you come back 

are you serious about GF going to wait? time is money.

most countries are still busy trying to tackle COVID19 and they will be in mood to rush into international tourism. better go slow and cautiously.

any economy turnround will depend on how  long the corona virus episode drags on as the world economies are so interdependent.

better to err on the side of caution. suffer the pain a little longer and be safer.

that is not correct, example - average of all deaths recorded in the UK over the last 5 years for March April May have increased by near enough the numbers of those reported deaths due to CV-19 - I researched it, the data is freely available on the ONS website 

hi smedly the situation is different from your viewpoint to which you are entitled. world wide deaths resulting from corona infection are a testimony of what i am saying.
