BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's economy should improve further in the final quarter of this year thanks to government support measures and September's relaxation of coronavirus curbs, a deputy prime minister told businessmen on Thursday.

 

As the southeast Asian nation battles its biggest outbreak that prompted curbs in July and August, the government will ensure sufficient vaccinations, said Deputy Prime Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow, who is in charge of economic matters.

I'm sure the unemployed and bankrupt citizens are cheering.

What happened, did all the unemployed people get their jobs back?

   Did tourism return in full?  What magic thing happened to  improve

the conditions? Exactly what restrictions were eased that caused this

improvement?

There is no need to quarantine the fully vaccinated nor insist they buy insurance against covid-related medical expenses. There will be no tourism while those measures are deemed necessary.

The govts of visitor nations are taking Thailand off their red lists.

It is not too late to enact the promises of lifting restrictions from 1 November. If the industry has a little time to prepare and recruit and rehearse, there could still be some revival this high season.

Direct correlation: improving Thai economy, and a sinking Baht.  Nothing else comes close.
