TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the current visa changes and restrictions in Thailand, particularly focusing on the status of tourists during the pandemic. One commenter expresses concerns about the lack of significant changes to current regulations and the potential for inconsistent policies. Another individual inquires specifically about tourist visa requirements for UK citizens planning to visit Thailand, seeking advice on any possible new measures related to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Right, this is nothing new. Seems this is what they have been doing since they started repatriation of Thai citizens it’s just that they haven’t gotten down to the all others. Seems another trying to save face.

Pretty much no change then to what's currently in place? Perhaps the only change being they're putting them on the same level as work permit holders. Unless I've missed something here?

Very few hold Permanent Residence. Those on retirement, marriage visas/extensions aren't permanent residents. Some on marriage may hold work permits but it's nothing like a majority.
