Just get rid of the Insurance!

Its a detriment!

just charge everyone 300 Baht tax and announce that it will cover any fees for COVID related Incidents!

Actually it would be 3 billion.  10 million x 3 baht is 30 million, x 30 baht is 300 million and times 300 baht would be 3 billion.

Unfortunately he is not up to date understand now biggest nearest competitor Vietnam has cancelled all entry restrictions. Vietnam is far cheaper than Thailand with good attractions beaches and modern accommodation. Cambodia and Philippines are also attracting potential tourists away from Thailand.
