Singaporeans who are thinking of post-vaccine travel in the months ahead will find restful places in the Thai kingdom

That includes introducing vaccine passports for incoming travellers, which certify that they have been inoculated against Covid-19.

...or Covid bubbles, or corridors, or bridges or passports.

At my age a "restful place" in Thailand doesn't sound good. I'll continue to enjoy un-restful Bangkok, thank you very much.
