I went to dinner the other night in Pattaya the car park attendant wanted 100 baht an hour for my wife to park in his small car park. We parked in the empty Second Road for free. With the scammers in tourist resorts tourists won't want to come anyway.

The unnecessary emergency decree extension, the PINCH is on !

Give some jobs to people to enforce laws and apprehend people who don’t abide by the laws . Get some to open public pathways that are stolen by traders and remove all obstacles in the pavements , make pavements child friendly 

A good idea; we could call it a police force - a novelty in Thailand.

Locals will be holidaying like never before, because it will be a long time before the internationals can leave their own countries, let alone return without quarantine, and which airlines going to carry them in at what cost?

Yes, just like the rest of the world is doing - maybe they are copying Thailand 

but most developed countries have been providing money for people to live on, providing free tests. Thailand are just happy to destroy their tourist industry and have very little regarde for the Thai people

Local Thai tourists just don't generate the same income no matter how much they subsidize it. Thai people like to stay with their extended family in a single hotel room and mostly have picnics on mats on the beach where they bring their own food & beer and are content to sit there most of the day. Even if the restaurants were free this cultural impulse would likely not change. Time to welcome back the mighty Farang with long stay visas if they want tourism to survive.
