Just a shame foreign visitors won't be allowed to attend such a prestigious event.
Will the expected Bangkokians leave a town where they can legally sit down and enjoy a beer?

Does it say foreigners are not allowed at the event? Just re-read it and couldn't see such, was hoping to go myself!

I think it would be just foreign tourists as PKK City isn't on the "approved" places to visit list, yet. Foreign residents can go, in fact, I wouldn't think they would bar entrance to anyone fully vaccinated and the money to buy a ticket.

Yes, I was referring to foreign tourists. Actually, thinking about it, how will they differentiate between a tourist and somebody who lives here? Or is this where our vaccine certificates will come into play?

They really can't unless: 1) They have gate people who are fluent in foreign languages and know Thai visas. (Those checking entrance to your football matches gives an idea how that would go. ) 2) The Mor-xxx app arrivals are forced to download has a red flag or sends up flares when some venue checks it.

I'd forgotten that one. I think I read it is meant to alert authorities if they've strayed out of area for more than 20 minutes. However, wouldn't that require Internet access at all times? If you want to go to the GP, I guess you accidentally forget your phone that day.
If somebody strays out of area, do all people resembling tourists get pulled in for questioning? Just another impractical Thai law that can't be enforced I guess.

It's a bluff IMO. They and their IT are incapable.

We're straying....but it needs to be said that the threat of Covid spreading in Thailand is in no way, shape or form going to be because of foreign tourist arrivals who have been checked, jabbed and prodded infinitum before they got here, and upon arrival. It will be because of the unknowing and unvaccinated locals and migrant workers who come out of the woodwork in hopes of gaining employment from this onslaught of money bearing aliens from afar.
If you've noticed, every publication lately has tried to sow fears of a renewed outbreak "because of the opening to foreign tourists..." The innuendo is for local consumption when it's translated for the Thai News, and conveniently leaves out the fact that they will be the people doing the spreading, not the foreign arrivals.

Damn, I was looking forward to that.
Guess covid restrictions may have been lifted by then ... maybe?
