The fact, that there are extremely low numbers of travelers from China and Russia, has nothing to do with Thailand‘s entry restrictions. And additionally the war in Europe affects the numbers of travelers from Europe.

Tourism needs months, maybe years to ramp up from zero. Other countries in SEA just started to open. They will need half a year or more to get back to more than 50% of it‘s pre covid standard.
