Thailand lets vaccinated tourists in without quarantine
For the first time, Thailand is allowing fully vaccinated tourists to enter the country without quarantine, which was also noticeable on Monday at the airport in Bangkok. Incoming travelers must be vaccinated and spend their first night in a pre-approved hotel, where they must again show a negative corona test. The first passengers thought nothing compared to a two-week quarantine. “There were special circumstances, Corona kept me away from Thailand for 18 months – that is, for a year and a half. I was also separated from my Thai wife for a year. Today is the first day I have the chance to return and hopefully to be happy.” “I will definitely go diving because Ko Tao is just amazing for that and of course the food, the food is insane.” “In Europe, as you know, it’s quite cold, so we decided to go here. We happened to book the first flight, we only saw Thailand reopen but we are surprised that it is the first Flight was. ” The Thai Ministry of Finance expects around 180,000 foreign visitors this year and around 7 million the next. Compared to around 40 million in 2019, these are low numbers.
The first passengers to Bangkok said on Monday how much they had been looking forward to their vacation.
