why should a govt prop up everyone? A lot of businesses which relied on foreign tourists are now diverting their attention to the domestic market. Businesses need to adapt and not rely on state handouts for survival.

they also have more domestic travelers as people aren't going overseas anywhere near as much.

It's a big part of the Thai economy but it's not their biggest money earner.

and they'll open up more once they're ready, which they've already said is when the vaccine is rolled out here. They don't need you as much as you make out 👍

@Briton ********
correct, it's also their country and the majority of Thais support the banning of foreigners at this moment in time.

I'm sure Thailand is really gutted that you skipped coming here.

if they axed the "quarantine nonsense" then the borders would still be well and truly closed.

Nothing will happen in Thailand until the Thai government rolls out their vaccine program here.

If you mean for foreigners entering Thailand who have been vaccinated...ASQ for you still.
