  • Omg this is better than Benny Hill and Monty python ????????????

  • I think the biggest problem they might face is marshaling the huge queues of people desperate to get into Thailand on these terms.

This is complete insanity.

What an absolutely ridiculous idea.

A Covid minder?  Of course! The perfect opportunity for Thailand to invent a new uniform. 

Or just a new amulet

*Go where there are no Thais - what about restaurants, shops etc. run by Thais? Replace them with foreign workers or bar foreigners from entering these shops?

*Covid-minders - new job opportunities for the unemployed and ex-go-go bargirls.

 

Thai authorities - you think they are stupid. Then they open their mouths, and remove all doubts.

 

Go where there are no Thais?

Im thinking Vietnam, Laos, cambodia.

i am still trying to understand....each and every farang will have two

covid agents that will follow him or her to make sure he stay away

from thai people aread / roads?

reminds me of the apartheid in south africam where they had WHITES ONLY signs

on train stations, parks and even street benches.

only that in south africa blacks did not have to pay so much for flights and hotels,

and were not feeling like they are tourists on some kind of holiday...

 

Sorry if this has been answered in the previous pages, but who pays for the covid minder and what is the daily cost?? Just need to add that one to the already mentioned mind boggling amounts needed to enter the forbidden kingdom.

I thought the idea of a holiday was to relax and enjoy yourself.

Sorry, forgot the sarcasm emoji????????

Well it all really depends how invasive the Thai minder assigned to you is.  If your Thai minder is something like this I don't think there will be too much of a problem.

All this rhetoric about Thailand is clear of corona and foreigner is not is going to get worse as time goes by. it is like riding a crazy horse and coming down from it is not easy and going to be painful.
