including Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Malaysia, can enter without the need to submit Covid-19 tests or insurance.

So these people are different to other foreigners and don't require hospital facilities etc if diagnosed with covid.

Sorry Thailand that is discrimination. Wars have been fought over less. (Ask Putin)

different conditions of entry and stay apply all over the world depending on what passport you're holding so chill.

very welcome developments, hopefully they scrap everything else very soon.

Well those 4 countries are Thailand's immediate neighbors so in a worse case scenario if there is a deluge of sick people from there overwhelming Thailand's health care they could be transferred back to their respective countries much easier than say someone from far away.

Analogy wise if my neighbor comes to my house and happens to fall sick I could easily send him back to his house as oppose to someone from another town.

Nope....Thailand is always there. I can always invite Thailand to Malaysia. More convenient that way with no restrictions.

Don't you worry, apart from a few "bitter" (??) or whatever commentators here, everyone working in the tourist industry, Thais, Ex-pats with businesses, foreign workers from neighbouring countries (many Cambodians working in the tourist industry where I am), are very much welcoming you back to Thailand. And that's a lot people whom, like everyone wishing to spend their holidays here, cannot wait (and that's an understatement) for all these now useless, non-sense restrictions to be scrapped forever so everybody at both ends can resume their lives as normal (no more this mad "new normal").

is the country where you're from allowing everyone in under the same conditions regardless of their passport?

no?

thought so.

Passport of origin has nothing to do with covid rules. Yes every nationality is treated with the same Covid rules when entry to my country.

      For dog lover's only - Turkey's Stray Dog Massacre

      There was a big dog problem in East London after WW11. Some areas were out of bounds. And kids could only feel really safe in fenced off play areas. It was all down to the bombing of the East End. People were drafted. People were killed. People were evacuated. People were relocated due to losing their homes. The dogs, then without owners, formed packs and would seek out areas where there was some food. Along the Thames right up to Grays (on the Nth bank) was popular with the packs, as they could catch and eat seagulls. Gradually - and it was well into the 1950s - the authorities sorted the problem out.

      For dog lover's only - Turkey's Stray Dog Massacre

      ROFLOL - you seriously think anyone that disagrees with you is racist? You know what that means dont you?? It means you are a 'race baiter' and a racist, if you think calling someone else a racist makes your argument any stronger. The reason there are few 'dog problems' like they have here in Thailand (wandering strays everywhere making life miserable for people), is because the authorities enforce dog control laws/rules. Stray dogs are rounded up, including those with an owner, and those dogs deemed 'adoptable' or not claimed, are offered for adoption. Those not deemed adoptable, or who after 3-6 months are not adopted, are put to sleep (culled). I will say it again. Your 'solution' does not work - because it takes a lot of effort to constantly catch and neuter the all the dogs and then releasing them. But the only real solution is to catch and either neuter or destroy those without a home - every day every week every month every year - and ongoing. That is why we dont have the same dog problems in the West as they do here in Thailand - all stray dogs are rounded up - they are called 'dog catchers' and 'Pounds' are where the dogs are taken. Here in Thailand - every now and then - some do-gooders embark on a waste of taxpayer/donor money by catching and neutering some dogs - they get publicity and it makes them feel good - but it does not solve the problem - because that has to be done to all of them all at once. The 'western' system is far better - because it works - and because over time it solves the problem. There are do-gooders in the West too - they 'save' dogs about the be destroyed and provide them a home/farm - they take them there after they are neutered at their expense. If they do what some did, and release them, they are banned from taking dogs about to be destroyed. There is another solution - South Korea resolved it a long time ago.
