They are meeting on Friday to make a decision about which countries to reinstate 14-day quarantine, and which countries will remain eligible for Test&Go.

63 cases detected already so it's here and no doubt will spread like wildfire soon.

Half the countries teacher population will be back late for the new term if they do it too quickly. Not that they usually consider such things.

Many months ago when Thailand increased quarantine back to 14 days from 10 for vaccinated travelers , I believe it was 7 days out it actually took effect. But no guarantee that will be followed now

It is only suggestion so far and Prayut has not officially commented on it himself . My guess is if it was implemented there would be a target date and not an immediate change , as people about to fly or in flight would not have quarantines booked. Also unclear what happens to Bangkok if the revert is just to sandbox.
