Throughout 2021 we could not travel freely between Thailand and Japan due to Covid-19 pandemic.  The logistics costs for import & export went up and have been staying high as well.  In the peak in 2021, the newly infected reached up to 20,000 per day in Thailand.  It has, however, come down to less than 3,000 per day now.  Although there are new concerns such as Omicron, we do wish 2022 be a much much better year for both Thailand and Japan and of course for the entire world with the recovering of travelling and logistics.
