Will tourism reopenings and more stimulus be enough to kick-start Thailand’s post-pandemic economic recovery?

i am vaccinated and from i have read even if I contact the wuhan virus, or its variants, the result will be minor sickness. The problem with being a tourist in Thailand is the idiocy involved upon arrival. 

3 covid tests in 14 days in Phuket? what happens if one of those shows a false positive? 

I have excellent medical insurance but in the USA medical insurance only lists what it WILL NOT cover, it doesnt state it WILL cover covid or lockjaw or leprosy or.... The Thai solution  is to buy rip off Thai covid insurance. NO THANKS!

It doesn't really matter if the virus is getting out of control in the country that you are "vacationing" to.

Thailand has some serious serious problems right now with this virus and egg is all over their faces and it is truly unfortunate.  The government gambled that it would just burn out but that didn't happen.  

This is an entirely different animal.  

Can you imagine?  Coming for a vacation and they are getting people to sleep on cardboard beds in field hospitals?  I mean who can make this **** up?  

Thailand's worst days are better than most countries best days.  I fail to see how it is out of control unless you have a wild imagination.  The government gambled? Please explain. 

 

Can surely find many mistakes if you look hard enough but out of control seems like a person that needs a drama.

 

The hospital with cardboard beds is for non-critical Covid patients and a great idea.  Have you looked at the pictures?  Pretty cool IMO.  Great foresight, many ICU beds still open in BK but just in case they throw up a temporary hospital with 700+ staff largely from provinces with few infections,  120 CCTV cams, 100 life support machines just incase and most importantly many free WIFI.  All you see is cardboard beds - strange.
