Anutin may agree to abolish Thailand Pass but wants all foreign tourists to have booster shots
Thai Examiner - Thailand's news for foreigners by Thai Examiner
Episode notes
Calls for a wider reopening are coming at a time when Thai political parties are gearing up for a General Election likely to be called before the end of 2022. As Minister of Public Health, Anutin Charnvirakul has been seen as hawkish on efforts to introduce public health measures designed to boost the economy. On Tuesday, he also questioned whether foreign tourism demand could be regenerated so quickly, saying the kingdom was like a restaurant reopening after being closed for some time.
