It'll pass eventually.....

I just think having Heinecke lobbying the govt is a huge positive 

He has major influence

Probably the most influence in the hotel industry 

My prediction 

T&G will be reinstated, which is a huge positive for some people vs Phuket sandbox, because of the difficulty to fly into Phuket 

And one that I predicted weeks ago, that they would move more towards hotel isolation, which it seems they already are starting to do

But a lot of people won't ever look at the positives

In my heart of hearts, I'm almost certain that they don't intend to bring back the TP/T&G in full, as that program wasn't profitable enough for those particular circles. 

My guess is that they will return to the quarantine sandboxes or the BKK mandatory 7-day quarantine entry protocol.....there is much too much pressure and influence from the business world.

I guess we will see.

You are probably correct about the profibilty 

I don't think they can rely on sandbox programs with the limited flights to those places 

I think we will see some easing in the next couple of months

My wife is going back in March, no matter what, but we haven't booked the flight yet 

I will follow in April, Phuket Sandbox with a 10hr layover in Singapore, if that's all that is available

Cuz your initial post started from the wrong assumption that they have taken away any basic freedoms. We're in times of a pandemic and it is what is. In 1918 with the Spanish flu it was mandatory to wear masks (as a matter of fact you could go to jail if you didn't) and there were also entry/exit restrictions in certain countries. Yet a few years later everything returned to normal. Same will happen now. 

For Manu only: Pareces Paco Martínez Soria yendo de cuñado a aleccionar el gobierno de Tailandia sobre libertades. Como siempre, dando mal nombre a los expat y a los españoles... ¡quédate en España coño!

Nope, this time and our time are not to be compared. I stick to my opinion no f***ing doubt and the thing is the world was not a good place before, it is getting so far worse now. That’s what I think. Not even talking about a virus, only about human beings.  And I do not speak Spanish: English, German, Corsican, Italian a little obviously, a little Greek, Thai when I am in a good mood.

Covid is just the convenient conduit to the grandeur plan.

That I don’t know. I don’t know, that or nothing (“ all I know is that I know nothing “ Socrates - everyone should think like that, I do).  I question everything though cause we simply do not live in a very nice world. Since always . I could not care at all, no impact whatsoever on my life… when something does not feel right well it is usually not.
