There’s either been a dramatic improvement, or someone has been massaging the figures!!

Laos to drop Covid entry curbs for vaccinated tourists

https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/23065 ... d-tourists

Laos will drop Covid-19 entry restrictions for fully vaccinated tourists from Monday after the country reported falling coronavirus cases and deaths, senior officials said.

The neighbouring country saw an 80% downturn in international traveller numbers in 2020 -- 4.7 million foreign tourists visited the previous year.

From January travellers had been required to complete seven days of quarantine, present a negative Covid-19 test, and were limited to travelling within certain areas with officially sanctioned tour groups.

Deputy Minister and Deputy Head of the Prime Minister's Office Thipphakone Chanthavongsa said on Saturday that a task force's recommendations that "measures for entering Laos PDR and relaxation for locals" had been approved.

"The Government sees it is time to develop the economy," she said.

The relaxed measures will see international checkpoints re-opened for Laotian citizens and foreigners, provided they are fully vaccinated.

Unvaccinated visitors must produce a Rapid Antigen Test issued within 48 hours of leaving their origin country.

Tourists will also have to pay for their own medical treatment should they become Covid-19 positive.

Laos officials added that pubs and karaoke bars could reopen.

The country has reported 663,533 coronavirus cases and 16,509 deaths.

Meanwhile, our beloved health minister, Anutin has modified his recommendation of a week ago when he agreed the Thailand Pass should be scrapped on 1st June. He now says that it should be scrapped only for returning Thais.
Let's see what the CCSA comes out with in a couple of weeks. They've already said that if cases and deaths continue to decline then they see no reason not to cancel the TP on the 1st.

I don't think he'll be able to sell that racist BS. Returning Thais will do nothing for the treasury here and they know it. They piss off potential tourists yet again they really ask for trouble.

Seems reasonable, meanwhile the retarded prikc Aspirin continues to try to line his already overweight pockets with tourist filthy lucre.
