Popular Post Dialemco Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 There is no reason in maintaining the Thai Pass except this would also mean no reason to maintain the state of emergency and CCSA. Personally for purely selfish reasons would like both to be maintained as will drastically reduce number of tourist entering the country keeping accomodation and related tourist businesses prices low but this is not in the best interests of the tourism industry 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, IOW, never going to happen. Planning for future events that you have no idea what they will be or if they will ever occur is futile. Based on that logic all new-born baby boys should be fitted with a condom once the umbilicle is cut in case they catch some STD later in life. It MAY happen but in the meantime you just make life harder for the baby and all those connected with him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uploading docs may be simple for some but a brain crusher for others, and totally unnecessary, just a way to maintain an insurance scam. 14 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thairookie Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 They are keeping the Thailand Pass because the Chinese are still not ready to travel overseas. So there is no hurry on the part of the Thai government to relax the restrictions. As soon as China resumes normality, everything will be lifted to facilitate the Chinese. The stampede at hotel buffet rooms will once again light up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 Thailand will be paying for it's cowardice, indecisiveness, hesitancy, and stupidity for years to come. The sabotage of tourism is nearly complete. A hundred years from now Prayuth, Anutin and Phiphat will be remembered. For turning the tiger of SE Asia into an anemic, sickly, pathetic alley cat. Broke, down on it's luck and lagging behind on most levels, at #89 in the world in GDP. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thomastm Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 I don't know how people justify this. It's just another nuisance to travelling turning people away. Most people have been vaccinated and Covid barely has an impact on the vaccinated. So why are we pushing this on people still? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I recall the past the only docs needed to be approved/accepted in the not that distance past was a valid passport.

What does this military educated clown know about planning anything? He should do us all a favour and go back to the barracks and parade grounds for what he is educated for and take his soldiers with him, and leave running the country to actual politicians. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
