TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion clarifies that Hong Kong is listed separately from China in Thailand's approved countries for quarantine-free travel. There are mentions of the total number of approved countries being 63, with Hong Kong explicitly recognized as distinct. Additionally, Taiwan's status is briefly noted regarding future inclusion.

Hong Kong is in China, but has a separate passport with different travelling rules.

It was rented to the British for 100 years and given back to the landlord at the end of the lease, no acquisition needed then. The fact that the landlord had changed his political system in between is another story.
