Not surprising in such crowded conditions....Vaccination needs to be a real priority in prisons. It's a place for Covid to flourish and it will inevitably escape into the general community.

"and for the international reopening on November 1 they will only open four districts to travellers: Doi Tao, Mae Rim, Mae Taeng, and Muang."    <===A Nut In

how could that possibly work, every street, soi , road and highway on all of those district 'borders' staffed with military  ?

and what if i , a very long time resident expat in thailand wants to visit c mai ? am i going to be lumped in as an "international traveler" and basically imprisoned in those few districts ?

Obviously it can't "work".

It's not just the tourists - realistically it's not the tourists at all - but it's everyone else who'll effectively have unrestricted travel and access to re-opened bars and restaurants in any "blue" zone who'll be able to come from anywhere and go anywhere.

I think opening of CM may be postponed, as it's kept a "red-zone" in the latest list and has not been made blue.

No idea what they will do about passengers with plane tickets and hotel reservations or changes to access etc.

They'll keep that a nice surprise until someone realises it tomorrow night at 23:59.
