Thais treated 'with contempt' over Egyptian visitorsThe opposition has lambasted the government after foreign nationals were allowed to enter Thailand without enforced quarantine. It obviously appeased some VIPs but it treated Thai people with contempt," the MP said. Besides diplomats and their families, all flights from foreign countries, including military aircraft, will have to follow those measures from now on, said the premier, who publicly criticised the Egyptian visitors for being irresponsible. "Is the prime minister willing to resign over the incident?" Responding on the prime minister's behalf, Deputy Public Health Minister Sathit Pitutecha said the 27 Egyptian military visitors were among the 11 groups of foreign nationals exempt from confined quarantine.
