The greed amazes me, they lack the ability to look at foreign visitors as a group from which they made and will make billions of Baht annually. Instead, they manically focus on the few who might cost them a few Baht. This consistent behavior spares me from feeling any sadness over the tourist crash caused by COVID. But for corruption, the government could administer an insurance program. How can you get health insurance anyway once the epidemic has started?

Holy Toledo

That 34,000 bht - US$1400 - for 1 year, would be for us old blokes. (probably)
or 30 days/160 bucks for a visa run, to catch a flight or go on a weekend shopping trip.
Just for Covid only insurance!

One more reason....

The insanity of TAT still thinking foreigners their first priority is re-entering Thailand under all circumstances

Seems like a typical insurance once you make a claim you find out your not covered
