TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around Thailand's requirement for health certificates for all visitors amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Several commenters express skepticism about the effectiveness of these measures, suggesting that simply checking health certificates may not be sufficient if infections are already present. There are calls for mandatory quarantine measures instead. The conversation highlights concerns over government policy and the practicality of enforcing health precautions at the borders.

Maybe the gov should get their thumb out of their ass and get supplies of alcohol and sanitizer flowing again, which can make a huge difference in slowing down the spread. In Spain the Army (which runs factories to make drugs for soldiers instead of owning golf courses and boxing venues) to make hand sanitzer. Or would that conflict with the brass's tee times?

Hi there, does this affect visitors that are leaving? When we got here last Friday there was no say at the airport. We filled up declaration that we show no symptoms.

And, uses up test supplies in other countries that could be used to protect people living there. Better to close all borders for a sustained period. Or, require mandatory quarantine in monitored situation.

Lots of detours, showing who's got the last say. Sad.

What a bunch of 🤡. If you get infected on the plane? Certificate becomes as useful as ass wiper. Mandatory quarantine is the only way.

"We are blocking infection from coming into the country." That statement would have been valid two months ago. Now the virus is already here and spreading fast. And not only by dirty Farang who do not shower.
