dense. When woods are dense, the trees grow close together. ... And if someone calls you dense, they think nothing can get into your thick skull. Dense comes from the Latin densus which means thick and cloudy. In general, the word means packed tight and gives the sense that something is difficult to get through.

no, I would be grateful and Thailand would be more safe if all visas were processed in there own country, current country they are in, or there local immigration office in Thailand. Time for a new normal? Get real with it. The virus is a bad thing, but good things can still be done.

It would be nice if Thailand allowed all visa types to be processed in Thailand and eliminate these visa runs. It's in the interest of public health and not wanting to bring in a virus from across an international border.

Chinese come and go. Western countries visit to retire, work, and study for a year or longer. They lease longterm, visit malls and markets, one year internet service, and buy transportation too. Westerners bring in sustained money. China likes the exchange rate, cost of condos, lower cost airfare, and to experience more freedom.

Thailand has a medical marijuana law.

I will point out a possible ASEAN type of visa that is multiple entry. I could be completely wrong so it's OK, but it would reduce conflicts of travel interest between ASEAN countries

If the virus goes away or a vaccine becomes available then everything goes as before? Not until they create a plan to make money from tourists on arrival with or without quarantine. Speculative, but I base it on what I have seen in Thailand.
