Is Thailand participating in Japan's travel bubble?
I saw Japan is listing Thailand in it's travel bubble, but I don't think Thailand is participating.
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether Thailand is participating in Japan's travel bubble amid COVID-19. The comments suggest skepticism about Thailand's involvement, highlighting that only residents from certain countries may participate. Additionally, there are concerns about the costs associated with quarantine for Thai travelers returning home.

No Thai people are going to travel there. Especially since they they would have to pay an additional 50,000 baht to quarantine when returning back to Thai

Well... the immigration still call us "tourists", even if we stay some years already on retirement visa. As mentioned... if you have this pink-id card they say resident. But in this case it's more important, how the japanese immigration define "resident of thailand". I just quoted from the article... nothing else...Dominic ****

someone living in Thailand on a retirement visa is by definition resident there rather than in their native country they no longer live in.Stephan ***********

Just found this at Merriam-Webster..."Today, 'citizen' tends to specify a person who legally belongs to a country, and 'resident' is used, generally, for a person who is legally living or working in a particular locality."

That's a good question... i guess you are a resident if you have at least this pink id-card, but i'm not sure what the japanese immigration think about that... I'm pretty sure the mean citizens or passport holders.Dominic ****
@Stephan **********
so expats living in Thailand aren't resident there? I didn't see the word citizens mentioned.
