Travel to Thailand


Travel to Thailand 




Tomorrow April 1st 2022 no pre-departure PCR test for travellers entering Thailand is required.

Starting on April 1st 2022, vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers arriving in Thailand will no longer have to take a PCR test before they leave their own country, however, visitors will still need to take a PCR test once they land. 

Requirements for entry were published yesterday in the Royal Gazette making it official. Unvaccinated travellers, or those who do not meet Thailand's vaccine requirements, must isolate at an approved hotel or resort for 5 days under the ASQ scheme and then undergo a Covid test before they are released.

Vaccinated travellers who enter under the Test and Go scheme must book one night in an approved hotel on their 1st night, the hotel packages give you a test on arrival and upon a negative result can leave the hotel and travel anywhere in Thailand. You will then need to take a rapid antigen test on day 5 and report the results.

So Thailand is starting to open up but sadly still with some hurdles to jump, rumours are that from June the final restrictions will be lifted but this is just a rumour for now.

Today Thailand reported 27000 new Covid 19 cases. Providing these numbers start to drop then the doors might finally open to tourism without restrictions.

Will you or are you waiting for all of the restrictions to go before booking that trip? I and my wife have decided to hold off till April 2023 before we return to Thailand giving the country time to reboot and hopefully settle into the new normal, whatever that is.

A lot of ex-pats and regular visitors have seen the changes throughout the pandemic and are speculating about what the new Thailand will look like. Many companies within the tourism industry closed including bars and hotels. However recently new money seems to be entering Thailand including huge hotel groups buying land and hotels up for sale. Signs are encouraging for the future but only time will tell how it all turns out.




Fingers crossed.
