Not Thailand, but good to see a start to South East Asia opening. And notice it's from the more educated governments
Summary so far
The conversation centers around the implications of Southeast Asia beginning to reopen for travel, particularly noting the initial entry point in Phuket. Several comments discuss various aspects such as the lack of COVID-19 insurance requirements, and opinions on the sophistication of government responses in the region, particularly contrasting Singapore with other countries.

Moderators, I must say that you are clever to put "Singapore" in close proximity to "more educated governments" in your writing. You slick alligators.

Even if it was wishful thinking on your part, you would still be impressing every reader here nonetheless.

When a government builds its largest national infrastructure at an airport and tries to rope in its own citizens to spend an entire day of fun and fam there, I have no choice but to be DEEPLY IMPRESSED.

Unfortunately, yes.

And I told myself, No more. Cross my fingers that I don't imitate Prayuth.

That's a good question. I'm assuming it's anyone from Vietnam or Australia.

What is interesting is there is no mention of a Covid-19 insurance policy like the one required for Thailand.
