KUALA LUMPUR – Travellers from 46 low-risk countries including Malaysia who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be able to visit Thailand without quarantine requirements from November 1.
This applies to travellers entering Thailand by air and test negative for the coronavirus.
The announcement was made today by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on his Facebook page.
“We need to move faster and do it now because by waiting for everything to be perfect first, we may be too late,” Prayut was quoted as saying by Channel News Asia.
“Moreover, tourists may decide to travel to other countries instead.”
Initially, Thailand only planned to allow travellers from about 10 low-risk countries, including Singapore, China and the United States to enter by air without quarantine requirements if they are fully vaccinated and test negative for the virus before and after their flight.
The list, which consists of 45 countries and Hong Kong, was issued by Thani Thongphakdi, permanent secretary at the Foreign Ministry.
Meanwhile @LinHao_BKK of the China-state affiliated media tweeted that the “Thai Foreign Ministry has announced the list of “low-risk” countries and territories from which fully vaccinated individuals can enter #Thailand without quarantine.
