  1. Probably fair because you pay local taxes and they want to be the good neighbor. Racist ? Did only certain locals depending on skin tone or language get the discount?
  2. Here in the USA the latest variant has got just about everyone. Numbers are falling quickly. Vaccinated are getting sick 2-4 days, unvaccinated much longer and makeup most of the hospitalizations. That being said numbers are down and yes this variant less severe. Many of the tested who come to the hospital for other reasons - all are tested- are asymptomatic. Within 4 weeks the numbers in Thailand will also fall. The second test requirement is just dumb. Who wants to visit if they are positive day 5 because Omicron is pretty much everywhere- and then pay for 2 weeks in a corrupt hotel scam- even though they are asymptomatic. Vaccinated travelers should be greeted with open arms- if they do get sick it will most likely not require hospitalization. They will still spend money and go about their travels. The vaccines are easily acquired for Thais so they can be protected from severe symptoms. We have 35 icu beds- the delta variant had 94% of them occupied with unvaccinated , we now have 6 Covid pts and most of them have other health issues . Covid loves the obese and unvaccinated. Anyway easily argued at this point the lock downs are doing more harm.
