What are the new ASQ requirements for quarantine regarding mask wearing?

i’m not sure what your point is. Are you blaming me because many Thais are still stranded abroad after 7-9 months And their government can’t get their act together to bring them back home?. And because I use a tourist visa dies not mean my home is not in Thailand.

@Edward *******

Indeed, many Thais stranded abroad. They have a much bigger problem than tourists not being able to visit here or tourists in Thailand that have to go home.

@Julian *******

I was pointed to the Thai Embassy in Swiss and it appears they will do it only for Swiss citizens. I would like to get confirmation at a few more embassies

@Edward *******

interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the input mate.

If I may speak succinctly and simply, South Korea has its shit together. Corruption and greed aren't the main players at the table, rather, problem solvers are. Thailand appears ruled by oligarchs - financial and military, perhaps even medical as well. This results in power grabs, and the refusal of the power groups to work together- most recently MFA and TAT. South Korea takes travelers rom 1 of the worst, if not worst, countries- USA and doesn't have a problem with them because of a 14 day quarantine, staffed largely by young military recruits. South Korea's economy is limping along, but is not devestated like Thailand, which is looking at 3-5 years to return to near normal, and rather than fix the problem, they spin out irrational plans that sputter and die- The Phuket fiasco, now the investment add-on to the elite visa, the STV program with its severe limitations. Hell, 6 months after closing the border they still haven't repatriated all the Thais..

@Edward *******

does it work like that? I thought it depends on the country that you are residing in.

@Julian *******

Common sense? I live in a low-risk country, South Korea, but because I am American I can't use the STV.

you got a point on that one. many things make no sense in 2020. Why wasn't there an public mask, temperature check + hand sanitizer effort in Europe, while Thailand did best in preventing covid on a global scale? We should appreciate that Thailand offers a way to come here through quarantine and not nitpicking some grammar issues in their rules. No one forces you to come here and its common sense for Thailand to protect their people ( something europe failed to do)
