Where can I find updates on international flights and visa amnesty in Thailand?
Does anyone have a source for updates on this? In terms of airlines resuming (or not) their international flights in/out + visa amnesty deadline status

Unfortunstely every economy on earth is equally impacted.
Thai infection and mortality rates are among lowest in the world.
Lets not prematurely open.
Look at US.
Noone can get in or out of any country.
All in same boat.

@Steve *********
for sure they are not equally impacted - I doubt that North Korea, Laos, Pakistan, etc are aqual impacted than USA, UK, France, Germany ... Steve **********
@Daniel ***********
virus sees no borders, nor races. We will never see figures from No Korea or Laos.Thailand has had approx 58 deaths with 70 + million people.
It appear Cv is contained for now due to restrictions.
I believe extending the restrictions an additional month for schools, etc until July 31 is well worth the effort. govt will have to reach deep for the people.

@Daniel ***********
I Agree, but a catch 22. US chose to open, now will face consequences for greed. Ya, I see both sides, bug values
people over dollars. We need our youth. Tramp has approved bounty on them.

Thailands major source of income is manufacturing, from auto's to computer assemblies.Second would be agriculture.
Tourism is in top 6 or so, and seasonal.
Thailand is not all Bkk, Pattaya, and Phuket.
*Google will list Thais GDP and revenue generators.
Have been here 16 years . Get out into Issan or central you'll see real Thailand

OPBecause I haven't found it doesn't mean it's not there. I could've missed it and this is why I'm asking. But thank you for your input.

OP@Jane **********
thank you but I was looking for reference to an actual announcement or article. Already checked on Thai gvt, CAAT, my embassy, Richard Barrow and various expat groups pages. Found nothing recent. And officials were supposed to have a meeting about this on the 26th.Jane ***********
@Freddie *********
If the 'actual announcement' isn't on the Thai govt site, or on the site of someone who follows the situation closely, it's safe to say that no announcement has been made yet.
