sorry mate I totally disagree Thai people are very proud and hate being told what to do in there own country about there country look at the baht monetary policy
very true Thais don’t listen to farang I there country that’s to point I was trying to make after being with my Thai wife for 19 years I came to understand in Thailand it’s there way or the airport
it don’t really matter about your opinion if the Thai government are scared then they will shut down they cannot afford for this pandemic to happen to this country they don’t have the health care or the money so they will panic the amount of cases they are talking about is almost the deaths in one day I’m my country but everyone up in the village is talking about it

So your need
Insurance for covid
Flight details
ASQ booking bank statements this is for the Coe after you have got your visa
