The removal of the pre-departure test is helpful from a logistics perspective but not a big deal to me. As other have mentioned, I am going to test anyways as I want to mitigate the risk of testing positive upon arrival. I would actually prefer to require a PCR test within 24 hours of departure and no test gymnastics upon arrival. But it is Thailand, they have to do it "Thai style".

By the way, for those saying that they do not see as much complaining about non-sense in other Southeast Asian countries. It's because Thailand is the most visited and has a very loyal travel contingency. I love Hong Kong, it is a lost cause though. Singapore? Not even a comparison. I think the Philippines and Vietnam are smart to try and help their tourist industry a bit while Thailand fumbles around in getting to where we all know they will ultimately land. It will take all of these areas a long time to get back to something that looks normal on tourist numbers. Just the lack of flight and the time to get new flights scheduled etc takes time.
