Thailand-

The following is our weekly feature in which we ask our readers a news topical question and get their insight and opinions. We then share their feedback a week later and pick a variety of diverse and interesting responses.

This week, we want to ask: Are you optimistic about the second half of 2022 in Thailand for tourism?

Some context around this question:

  As Covid-19 restrictions ease in Thailand continually, with a chance that Thailand Pass could be dropped in the near future, bars and nightlife legally reopened, and more, are you optimistic about tourism in Thailand for the back half of 2022?  With Test and Go already dropped as of May 1st, more tourists are gradually returning but many critics say further steps are needed. However, with other global issues like Russia’s war with Ukraine, China’s Covid Zero policy, and rising costs of fuel and basic goods, these stand to hurt tourism as well. Granted, anything will be better than the near complete border closures minus massive quarantine in 2020 and 2021, but what will the next six months look like?

We look forward to hearing from you! Tell us on our social media channels, in the comments below, or if you prefer your comment to be private mail us at Pattayanewseditor@gmail.com. We will publish the results and select a variety of diverse responses early next week, as always!
