Well he has to pretend to be happy as he knows he cannot drop covid restrictions Not because of Covid mind you but because of upcoming elections If he drops restrictions/Thai pass etc then gatherings must be allowed & there are thousands of protesters just waiting to gather on the streets So, we can expect right after they steal another election all freedoms/things will resume very quickly as they will once again want to bury their snouts in the public baht trough & they know without the tourist without the Thai business prospering there is much less tax income/baht to suck up. So again right after election full steam ahead Edited April 13, 2022 by mania 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right you are, hence the time has come for a new, more modern thinking person who will envision what Thailand should be and not play it 'too safe'... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, he was happy with how things were going with pollution, traffic safety, corruption, education, the economy, covid. . .
