i want to know in regards to foreigners, on what time of flight were they travelling?were they with thias?the reason is this- thais arnt tested before flying on some flights.why as they can spread the virus whilst on flights?its a confined area and seems madness to me to be exposed to the virus when they got a clear cert.more stupid from stupid control.make sure everyones tested neg before flying including thais if you have a rule for foreigners everyone must have the same as you are exposing people if u dont,simple logic but far too intelligent a concept for govt to grasp

Surely it’s much too onerous for Thai people to pay around 6,000 baht for a pre-flight PCR test?
