yes. tourists from china (including hong kong and taiwan) contributed 608,085,840,000 baht to the thai economy in 2019. what's so difficult to understand?
american/european fast food, carbonated drinks, alcohol, and cigarettes, kill thousands of times more people than covid. should all westerners be banned from entering thailand?
makes sense on any reasonable assessment of risk and reward. those 6 countries have all had covid under control for a while already, and tourists from those countries contribute around 800 billion baht per year to the thai economy (of which 600 billion baht is from the chinese).
yeah i don't expect to be able to visit my home country the uk without quarantining on my return to thailand (which i can't afford) until at least 2022.
