More wealthy russkies who never bargain - more positive tests. It's not personal, it's business.

Too bad they can't lure chinese group tourists yet for stable cash-flow.

Suggest to me that post departure testing is flawed with some countries. Countries like USA, Australia and Singapore have better testing processes.

Russia looks like testing is absent or very flawed.

Fake vaccine certificates and fake negative tests are prevalent everywhere Fred - especially in places like Russia and India - where TAT is heavily marketing Thailand holidays.

Rumors says Thai tests are too sensitive so you positive if had omicron month ago. Maybe different rules of interpretation.

I have heard that myself - never found any 'sources' though, but I would not be surprised. The reason I say that, is because many times when we travelled to Thailand, I would get through the scanners in Australia and other places like Singapore with no problem, but in Thailand I would set off something with exactly the same gear on.  Am I saying that some of the Thailand private hospitals have a vested interest in positive results and therefore are more 'hard' on the test procedures and results? Do bears sh**** in the forest? Is the Pope Catholic?
