it IS actually a surprise, that there are now more passengers rejected than during COE times....as it was more complicated and required more documents for COE (was twice with COE on a flight and no passengers was rejected)
maybe a lot of Thais; who need now as well a PCR test for test & go and sandbox, but not for quarantine and did not realize this difference?
or maybe just more less seasoned travellers and more tourists with less experience in preparation of a trip and such documents?
probably a similar development like the many rejections of European travelers from boarding a plan to US after this week's opening...
