Not everyone is so scared of the virus that they can't leave their house even after getting vaccinated but it is inconvenient and difficult to travel which is putting off many people.

Exactly.

These assumptions require basics like a complete revamp of the way this country is run.

No checks and balances nowhere, conflicts of interest in whichever direction you look, the social structure with their "phoyai (ผู้ใหญ่)" which instigates authoritarian fear into the low(er) lives of this country which contribute 75+ percent of the population. 

Give fair, younger and professional politicians the stage and put everyone there where they belong.

The present mess with all ministries getting involved in all business, monopolized license production of vaccines to please and seriously enrich higher ups are provenly completely counter productive - to the disadvantage of all those below the lowest rung on the Thai ladder of elitarian oligarchy. 

I am neither communist nor socialist but the disintegration of an industrial nation with a albeit stuttering but still functioning economy and tourism trade in the recent past to the attitude of a third world country is more than mind boggling, 100% self-made by all the crooks, thieves and gangsters. 

What a pity for a beautiful land with - in general - lovely people.

In Italy, Spain,France tourists areas are packed of people enyoing summer holidays.

South East Asia(Thailand especially) just digged their own grave.

Don't know about Italy or France,  Spain isn't packed with tourists, there are some mainly Belgiums, Dutch and Germans a large number of Spanish leave the major cities and head for their holiday homes.

This is all well and good however it comes with a price, that price being a steady rise in covid-19 cases nothing like the initial wave but a rise.

I would imagine that by the end of September a true figure in new cases will reflect the real costs.

I've no doubt that the next 5 years will follow the same pattern.
