They're not even on the radar when it comes to rule making. And even if they were given consideration, do you honestly imagine giving them special dispensation would be a good political move?! My comment was not to the gov't. It was to the peanut gallery here looking for any reason to argue. Take your comment for example.....

So ban it completely? Other countries seem to manage opening restaurants without banning alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other countries also have 8x the number of deaths and you use them as an example of the way to do things!

Longwood50 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 The government here is like a dog chasing its own tail. On the one hand they say they want more tourists but still fully vaccinated tourists with a clean bill of health are required to be in quarantine. They want tourists but now raise the fee for tourists to enter Thailand. They want tourists but still require for fully vaccinated tourists extra insurance covering their stay in Thailand. If every country adopted that, can you imagine the nightmare for tourists who have to get separate policies for each country they visit. Finally, after all the hassle the government tells the tourist that though you can come, and dine, you can not enjoy a glass of wine, cocktail, or beer with your meal. They really should get their act together and figure out whether they want to make it difficult to get into Thailand and discourage tourists or whether they really want tourists and reduce the burden to come here.
