when did I mention Thai people? Erm where did I say Thai ‘people’ once? Thai government and those in positions of power making these divisive decisions are the issue. If you are happy to be deemed less worthy then you be you, but quite frankly your “don’t like it then go “ rhetoric is pathetic and cowardly.

true nuf. Up for some beverages when the bars open back up?

2 meters apart and shaking elbows are a must of course.

I’m not sure, if it’s written in Thai I wouldn’t understand it. 😁

I don’t see it a specifically a tourist thing more the wording “foreigner”, add that to the fact no tourists have been allowed in for several months and the buses also refusing foreigners and I question the intent more than policy to stop spreading.

@Steven **************
I agree with that in principle but is this policy to protect and prevent first? Or has the previous health minister comments played a part in a “disease spreading foreigner” thought process leading to this policy?

not sure either way. But as someone who for 11 years of living here has seen everything from dual pricing to ice cream vendors saying “free samples to Thai only” then the temple notice wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Maybe it’s cynicism on my part but considering my previous experiences, the experience I recently had at immigration (while with my 8 month pregnant wife) among others I’m starting to not bite my tongue anymore and instead going on a rant.

depends on the checking policy upon entry. If it’s Thai ID card then no not racist.

you have nothing to apologize for bud. Those who came up with the policy are to blame. 🙏
