I think the major 2 factors that will determine if Brits can enter are the number and source of cases in Thailand and the number of infected people in the UK. If Thailand experience a surge in community transmission the date you after will move out and the same apply with the UK. If however the UK infections decrease the date move closer. I think Thailand will open to countries like NZ, China, Japan, Taiwan, S Korea and Oz first. Then as other countries infections decrease they will be brought into the "travel bubble". At present I would say not before the new year. One interesting possibility is however for longstayers. If the Thai government allow longstayers to come in with rules like 14 days isolation they pay for, health cover etc. For normal tourist the 14 day isolation do not work but for a longstayer its more acceptable.

dual pricing by government is the law. Dual pricing by Thai people is your choice. If you must pay more for an item than Thai person you have the choice to buy it or not. I choose not to buy it and use my money as power to change not by complaining to other foreigners how unjust the country is.

I care greatly for the country and its people but realised I cannot change it alone. So instead of bashing my head against a wall like you I have learned from the Thais. I have learned patience, learned the concept of giving time for an issue to become clear to me before acting, learned how to live with unjustice without accepting it but still to be happy. The last one I mentioned is the one you must learn. When you see injustice you can either react with anger or can complain to the wrong people about the injustice or can take it up with the person or institution that commited the injustice or you can give up and live with the injustice or you can influence people to bring change or you can live with the injustice and wait for the right time to rectify the injustice. Far from not caring I chose a path of caring for people not issues or injustices. I you take care of people that has been hurt by injustice and fight the injustice in that way.

@Chris *******

if you are unhappy you must either work at becoming happy or you must make a change. If you stay unhappy it has got an effect on your whole life. Your post did not say Thai government once. You spoke about dual pricing which is an government (national parks etc) and Thai business issue (items sood for foreigners at a different price), you speak about ice cream vendors which is a Thai people issue not government issue. When I say you must consider leaving it is not rhetoric nor cowardly but a question of unhappiness and the effect it have on people, their life and their relationships. I went through the same type of patch as you about 2 years ago and had to decide if I will work at becoming happy again or leave the country. I choose to stay and work at my/our happiness. The first step I took was to stop complaining about things I do not like and have no control over and cannot change. Goodluck I hope you find happiness again.

The Thaiger article I read said only government buses. Unfortunately it is the result of the waived 90 day reporting. I think they are scared foreigners have changed address and that they cannot be reached in case a infected person travelled on the bus.

@Chris *******

better for you to leave if you feel this way about Thai people. Just do not know what you will with your wife who is Thai.

yes by keeping the visitor number down to allow social distancing inside the temple.

@Janos *********

I think you must read my other comments you are acting like a true farang, getting angry before you have all the facts.

@Janos *********

how is it racism if they exclude all races including Asians ?

@Chris *******

the person that took the photos also cut off a date. I believe they tried to curb the visitor numbers to allow for social disrancing on specific dates. The person did not understand the Thai part or on purpose took the photo to exclude the date. If you look at the photos, why would they write in English about all the rules if foreigners are excluded for a long time. I think it was for a day or two after lockdown.

@Zsolt *******

one of the photos have a date on it which is not showed in full. I think they are only excluding foreigners for a specific time for some reason. Maybe it is due to high volume of visitors after the lockdown and they are trying to keep social distancing going and only allowing Thais in for a specific time. There is no incentive for them to keep the temple closed to foreigners for a long time.
