We're delaying travel to Thailand until at least September. I suspect many thousands of other potential visitors will also be looking elsewhere.
Agreed with you, and it feel like Thailand still harbor arrogance thinking on tourism because they think they can throw hurdles and people will tolerate. I suspect that more countries are giving up on strict restrictions this year and make it easier than ever for people to visit. Thailand and some countries need to change their approach on treating asymptomatic cases. I am suppose to come in March but defer it till July or September with hopes that they will abandon silly Day 5 and come up with rational approaches.
