My friends who are coming in tell me the paperwork is a nightmare. People who are expats here are motivated to jump the hoops but tourists? That's the question with Mexico et all being much easier to navigate. There could be on the flip side a sesmic shift in tourism patterns. The Thai govt must be fully aware of this. With forecasts it's going to take a long time to recover I am sad the govt is not retraining former tourism workers to do other vocations. They really have to relook at their community empowerment programs they stopped after Me Prayuth became PM
Thanks for the update, David. I am still thinking mid March 2022, but could easily push that back to mid April or even May to give things a little extra time to "normalize." What does your crystal ball predict about a 70% plus domestic vaccination rate and more reliable entry rules by then? Cheers.
