The Thai PM (the man of many words), announced this week that Thailand will be fully reopened to tourists within the next 120 days.

He stated on TV, as well as in the Bangkok Post article linked below, that he understands the risk associated with the reopening, but says that the economy just has to get running again. No one can argue with him there.

It will be great to see friends returning who have been MIA for over 16 months now, but I imagine the restrictions that accompany this reopening will dictate the tourist flow. As we've come to realize, the July 1st reopening in Phuket, which serves as the model for Thailand's reopening, is pretty much a flop due to the long list of restrictions tourists would be faced with, as well as the fact that the bars and entertainment venues won't be operational yet.

Let's hope the real reopening in the fourth quarter will go a bit smoother.

Wouldn't it be nice if vaccines were available? What a concept.
