Gov’t still discussing country reopening measures

 

 

BANGKOK(NNT) - The Prime Minister has revealed that related government agencies are still weighing up the most suitable way to reopen the country to international tourists. Only certain groups of foreign visitors are likely be allowed to visit limited areas, subject to COVID-19 prevention measures starting even prior to their arrival.

 

The Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said that a protocol is needed to take care of international visitors, starting in their country of origin, to ensure the effectiveness of disease control measures while helping the economy to recover.

 

He said right now related agencies are considering the possibility of determining only certain areas as tourist accessible, which could be limited to particular beaches or closed off areas, however it wouldn’t be as wide as an entire island.

 

The Prime Minister has explained to the general public the importance of tourists, saying that without them, hotels will have to close down.

 

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul said in regard to this matter that the Ministry of Public Health is now ready to welcome the first group of 150 foreign visitors from China, who will be arriving at Phuket Airport on a chartered flight.

 

He said all these visitors will have to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, reassuring the community that there is nothing to worry about.

 

The Chinese Consul General in Songkhla, Ma Fengchun has praised Thailand’s robust public health system and effective outbreak response, which has helped reassure local and international tourists of their health and safety during their travels in Thailand, while stressing the popularity of Thailand among Chinese tourists.

Here we go once again, one side of the government or tourist department is saying 7 to 10 days for the Chinese & once again the PM saying 14 days. It is high time the PM put his foot down and stopped all the confusing reports ............!!!!

Good comments from Khun Prayut Chan O Cha. He realizes the economy and the health of the Thai people are at risk and as such he has to balance an effective method for both.

But at the same time he continues to develop infrastructure to create jobs, jobs, jobs.

Excellent work by Khun Prayut and his government.

He recognized nothing. He is a unelected and unwanted man. He had destroyed the economy and done undesirable damage. Even with there fake COVID numbers. Tourism should be a priority. Millions suffering due to these unwanteds. Thai people.want a genuine election. Chinese are not wanted by Thais.

Facebook and Twitter have taken down more than a dozen disinformation networks, including one linked to the Royal Thai Army, that they said were used by political and state-backed groups in multiple countries to deceive users.

 

The origins and extent of the Thai army's efforts to cast critics in a negative light and influence public opinion online are detailed in a paper titled "Cheerleading Without Fans" and released on Thursday by the Stanford Internet Observatory.

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a social media company has suspended a network of accounts linked to the Royal Thai Army,” the paper said. “It is the first instance of Twitter including activity originating in Thailand in its state-backed information operations archive.”
