The world is slowly opening up again

Although Thailand has extended its state of emergency by another month to 31 October, it is relaxing border restrictions somewhat - similar to Japan here last week.
 
The country's virus task force has approved a special tourism visa for long-stay foreigners, with the government targeting as many as 1,200 tourist arrivals per month.
 
The visa will be applicable for those who intend to stay in Thailand for a period of between 90 days to 280 days, with the stipulation effective until 30 September 2021. The previous condition for long-stays in Thailand was for a period of 15 days to 90 days.
 
It is another slight step aimed at helping the tourism industry - which Thailand heavily relies upon - but when a few countries start setting a precedent for these things, you can expect many other countries to pick up similar steps as well moving forward.

Very true, especially now that the coronavirus cases seem to be rising again in quite a number of countries...strict precaution are very much needed!
I am not sure if this is wise in view that even neighboring🙄 country Malaysia seems to be battling a resurgence of new cases..not too mention other nations around the world..

-THE END-
