I don't get what your point is here.

The covid deaths were in context of border closures and lockdowns, social distancing, mask wearing, handwashing initiatives et al

Without those covid restrictions and measures such that there was a 'let her rip' approach, the numbers of deaths would have been a lot higher.. No one can say what the numbers would've been but you've only got to look at countries like Brazil that were very lax and see what can happen for instance.

Were there any or minimal restrictions to road travel (bearing in mind that most people stay in their immediate locale anyway for most of the time)?

"........Vaccinations must be administered within three months of the travel period"
so if u get ur shot now, you have 3 months to get to Thailand ( shot in March, must arrive before end of june)
so are they looking at it that the vaccine is only good for 3 months??
PLUS you still need the covid negative test, and with JUST that test you save 4 days in quarantine.

no, its the vaccine that only saves you 4days, you need the test regardless of staying 7 days or 10

tbh last year i used to use a similar comparison, when we was under lockdown in England yet i was still going to work everyday etc,
and people used to say to me about the risks of catching covid, and i used to say...
i know the risks of covid, but the chances of me catching covid and dying from it, im statistically more likely to have a fatal road accident on my way to work than i am dying of covid, i know these risks yet i still get in my car everyday, why would i be scared of covid (if following standard practice to prevent spreading)

Yes and how many are just injured taking up hospital beds? the sums between covid and road accident are way different and so is the government response.

Clutch/ Cowboy: Please no reason to read further. Thanks

The Thai government has agreed to reduce mandatory quarantine

for certain categories of arrivals from overseas. The national committee on communicable diseases, which falls under the umbrella of the Public Health Ministry, has approved the measure based on the fact that a global vaccination drive is leading to a gradual reduction in case numbers.

According to a Nation Thailand report, the following categories of international arrivals are included in the reduced quarantine, which varies from 7 to 10 days:

Foreigners with a valid Covid-19 vaccination certificate that is no more than 3 months old and no less than 14 days old, in possession of a negative Covid test result: 7 days’ quarantine
Repatriating Thai nationals who have a valid Covid-19 vaccination certificate no more than 3 months old and no less than 14 days old but who do not have a negative Covid test result: 7 days’ quarantine
Foreigners who have a negative Covid test result but no vaccination certificate: 10 days’ quarantine
Reduced quarantine will not apply to travellers from any part of Africa

If you travel to thailand twice a year you'll need two covid vaccines? This can't be right, or thailand government thinks the vaccine doesn't last to long eg more than 3 months.
