My dad told me because of some video he saw on YouTube. Must have been a misunderstanding.
Unfortunately almost all Asian countries are reacting reclusive to this nasty corona-virus infection and closed down their borders to international tourists. Of course this cannot go on forever like that.
Many Thai people lost their simple jobs in small shops, hotels, restaurants, tourist transportation, airlines/ferries related work, laundry, food production etc. etc. Some are jobless, others are homeless... totally out of money.
A vaccine would be the best to erase widely the corona infection, but I doubt if it will be available soon.
In general it takes years to develop an effective vaccine, which has to be tested to more than 60000 people (after animal testing etc.) to be considered by the WHO for worldwide use.
At this moment, just to enter Thailand with any other visa like pensioner in my case - as there is no tourist visa available - will cost me a lot of money and time to prepare that trip including quarantine. - It's not worth it, I stay in Japan, despite I have a nice second home in Thailand too. I can wait....
