Hi again, I'm a little worried about entry into Thailand. Does anybody have an ear to the ground re Thailand possibly closing their borders in respect to the new strain of Covid-19? It seems other countries are shutting down again. I'm flying out on the 21st tia

TLDR : Answer Summary
Concerns have been raised regarding Thailand potentially closing its borders again due to the emergence of a new Covid-19 strain. However, multiple commenters indicate that there are currently no indications or announcements regarding a border shutdown. Most believe that, given Thailand's recent reopening to tourism and declining Covid-19 cases, further restrictions are unlikely. The discussion also highlights fears about travel restrictions in other countries but emphasizes Thailand's need for tourist revenue.

It’s very unlikely. They are desperate for tourism money again and they have a hell of a lot of expensive PCR tests, hotel quarantine rooms and hospital beds that need paying for!!!

Omicron found to be mild strain but somewhat more transmissible . No word on closing anything. Covid cases in Thailand continue to decline. Unlikely for any border closing.

Absolutely no mention of it at all. Almost certainly they won’t as they’ve just opened up again, but no guarantees.

 he didn't read it because Malaysia has been closed and never opened and Indonesia was only partially and is still open.
