And they still wanna allow all with a thailand pass for "test and go", to test and go? No minimum 7 days ASQ, from now on? That will be the point of no return, methinks!

Aside: what is with all the people in the flight of the Brit, from Bkk to Chiang Mai, the Hotel's, the Con mvenient stores, the masssge, ...? Anyone tries to trace?

It does not matter, as long as one brings in covid (omicron in particular) to Thailand, one is considered dirty.
