It‘s very likely that the Thai Pass will be scraped starting on July 1. And between July 1 and now, they will go on easing the measures.
That is as much as they can do. And yes, if anyone thinks, that it‘s not acceptable, he should avoid traveling to Thailand.
Completely agree - restrictions are gradually going away and that is a good thing. Compared to the rest of Asia we in Thailand are miles ahead!

The cost of a limo from AOT was about 850 BHT to downtown. A PCR test is about 1500 to 2000. Then add a hotel room at a 4 star which is about 2500 to 3000 at max. I normally pay around 1700 to 2200 depending on the season. But now most of the hotels charge you around 5900 to 6200 BHT just for that one night.
Well that is a pretty unreasonable comparison - and AOT’s cheapest option (the Isuzu) has been 1,100 (or 1,050?) for a long time before covid.
The one night charge comparison is unreasonable too - that contains sealed transport from airport to hotel, includes testing. So by all means, stay away - I don’t see people complaining like crazy about Singapore, Hong Kong etc which are by far more crazy..
