It makes for a wonderful fairytale; only time will tell us whether Red Riding Hood’s grandmother in the form of the Delta variant lies waiting or whether we’ll be giving her the royal salute.
According to a Bangkok Post article below, the CCSA states that tourists will not be permitted to visit any Province after the reopening unless 70% of the population in that respective Province has been vaccinated. I liked hearing this for several reasons. Now, if they can just stick to the plan.

I was on the phone with my daughter this morning who planned to make a return visit to Thailand in October. Her and her husband had to cancel their plans for October 2020, and are reading the news of Thailand's reopening from their home in the U.S.
I told her to avoid getting hung up on the "details" she see's in the newspapers right now, because they'll be changing with the wind, as they always do. She understands this situation is dynamic, and relies on the covid status during that period in time (fourth quarter). Pretty much the same as anywhere else in the world right now.
What the article says is that no province can take part in the 14-day semi-quarantine opening without 70% of its (adult) population having been vaccinated. It doesn’t mean tourists are unable to visit a province once they have sat out that 14-day period (with its PCR testing) - that’s for each governor to say (the current situation)
