Cheap method of extorsion. Pay $3000 and get locked up for 10 days if you test positive. Many people will test positive with new variants. Tourists have a choice of other countries. What about the people who live there?

Just fly to the country that you feel comfortable with and ... Bingo ... you will be wasting lesser time bashing Thailand.

Denmark 🇩🇰 has announced to drop ALL covid related restrictions and laws! It seems omicron can not be stopped or managed, so they decided to let it go in the population to gain natural immunity. Right or wrong, time will tell.

They don't care if you are sick. They care if you go make someone else sick. I don't think there should be quarantines but that is the logic you might be missing.Azim ********
