Impressed by how Bill Heinecke managed to keep a straight face when playing down his support for Gen Prayut, when he publicly said the country should unite and get behind Prayut when he “came to power”, “many, many years ago”.
It was seven years ago, and he “came to power” by leading a military coup against a democratically elected government, using protests he’d orchestrated himself as the excuse.
The main problem is that many countries have either restricted international travel or are advicing against going to areas like Asia where the virus has flared up again, Malaysia is under lock down and in India there has been a huge wave. Also if you do come to Thailand there are all sorts of rules you have to follow like for example you have to stay in designated hotels and have multiple medical check ups, the insurance etc etc, the Sandbox does not look promising for now.
