Rules? What rules?

I live in Chiang Mai and can honestly say that risks associated with opening up the country to tourists will be greater than the government thinks.

When I shop at Rimping in Promenada Mall I witness numerous farang and Thais ignoring the temperature checks and contact tracing sign-in, especially when there is no security present. I have given up telling these fools to do the necessary checks and also emailed the Rimping head office.

If the government is naive enough to believe that tourists will adhere to Covidprevention rules, they do not understand that many of these tourists come to Thailand because of the lack of rules or enforcement of rules. SJL
