The PM says no cases of Omicron in Thailand yet - and New Years celebrations are a go.
These results, plus the removal of the alcohol ban in certain districts (including Pattaya), is definitely good news for the restaurants and bar businesses. The Blue Zones were extended yesterday to include 3 more distrcits, including Chiang Mai and Hua Hin, where restaurants (and bars posing as restaurants) can begin serving alcohol.
Great news...now if they can keep the train on the tracks.

For the Chicken Littles of this world - IT’S HERE:

An American traveller via Spain
Remember that vaccine that was the one Amazing Dodgems once claimed was the only one he’d let near his body - Johnson & Johnson? Yep, that’s the one this American tourist had
It was just a matter of time.
The first case of Omicron has been detected in Thailand. The infected person was apparently an American traveling from Spain.
Hopefully, we won't see any over reaction to this.

"In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king"
After the recent influx of Omicron cases the Health Minister is freaking out.
With around 68 cases on the books (all but one being contained) he's now running around in hysterics holding a lantern screaming "Omicron is Coming - Omicron is Coming"....and calling for the immediate reinstatement of "Quarantine" versus "Test & Go" for inbound tourists.
I'm sure the PM and his Generals are delighted at the Health Ministers reaction (over-reaction) to this which has already hit the press.
I'll be surprised if the PM and the CCSA react the way the Health Minister is apparently demanding they do, but this has been the year for surprises - so who the hell knows.
