It's a matter of time when the virus enters Thailand from Myanmar as it is impossible to stop it by Thai government. They did a great job with the airports, but the real danger is right at the western border. It doesn't matter how hard they try, they can't stop the spread from Myanmar.

With no evidence, I suspect the virus is running rampant in Thailand. People are not getting tested and people are self-medicating. If there was no problem there, they they wouldn't have the restrictions they have now.
