Thai government issued policies to save tourism.

Dai Suli, deputy spokesperson of the Thai Prime Minister's Office, said on the same day that foreign tourists who have obtained the visa can stay in Thailand for 90 days, and the visa can be extended twice for 90 days each time. The renewal fee is 2000 baht (about RMB in 440 yuan), and the cumulative stay can reach 270 days. It is reported that this tourist visa project will start from 10 and the project will be valid until September 30 next year. In addition, the director of Thailand Tourism Bureau said that the government plans to allow foreign tourists from low-risk or risk-free countries to travel to Thailand from next month.

During the epidemic, the Thai government encouraged domestic tourism, but it was obviously unable to fill the income gap and the loss of jobs. Economists at Thailand's big city banks said that considering the size of tourists, although the special tourist visa program is helpful, it will not bring too significant economic repercussions. This plan is mainly aimed at foreign high-end wealthy people, and middle and low-end tourism service providers will continue to bear the losses caused by the epidemic blockade.
