TLDR : Answer Summary
Thailand's reopening to American visitors is uncertain and largely depends on the COVID-19 situation both in the U.S. and Thailand. Currently, the borders are closed, and there are speculations that it might not open to U.S. citizens for an extended period due to high infection rates. Discussions reveal that other countries may see a quicker reopening based on their handling of the virus. Many suggest following official Thai government updates and trusted information sources for the latest news.

 Please be specific. What government and what department or ministry? Was the email an official public communication or a confidential slip from an insider? Was the originator someone in an official capacity with significant authority or a uni student intern?

Inquiring minds want to separate rumor from facts.

I think the best answer would be to follow Richard Barrow over on Twitter. Always the latest news with knowledgeable commentary.

The guy has good media and government connections, especially with immigration.

I think visitors from particular countries will be allowed in whenever that country ends their lockdown plus a few weeks. That should be soon for most Asian countries but a lot longer for Europe and North America.

Asia is the future economically and politically? 😂Anyway expenditure per capita as reported by the Thai government has Europeans and Americans ahead by almost double. Yes the numbers of Chinese are high but the most lucrative groups are European and American.

 actually I have a feeling it will be the exact opposite. Open for Europeans but closed for Asians. Remember there is always a financial issue involved

 It is still wild here. I'm in lockdown. My state alone has over 11,000 cases and it's a small state. I guess we just add vacation funds to our Thailand Retirement funds this year!

That is up to the virus. The geniuses in the States that are overruling the epidemiologists program that had locked down the country are gonna make that at least 90 days longer and You will still likely be quaranteened for 14 days after arrival. anyhow.

I’m presume you’re coming from USA? It’s not really a question of opening the borders, more a question of when and which airlines will fly there.
