ORIGINAL POSTER

Just to show some diversity in the border lockdown saga that's plaguing a large number of us. I saw this in the comments sections on an announcement posted on the US Embassy's Facebook page. It's not just foreigners trying to get back into Thailand right now that are struggling, I see the same thing posted in Vietnamese, Malaysian, Philippin, and even US expat groups. Just have to keep our heads up.
