Bangkok, October 22 (China News Service) -- The Thai government announced on the evening of October 21 local time that from November 1, tourists from 46 countries and regions who have completed COVID-19 vaccination and entered Thailand by plane can be exempted from compulsory quarantine.
The Thai Foreign Ministry announced the list of 46 low-risk countries and regions on the same day, including China, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Australia and so on.
According to the relevant implementation details, tourists from these low-risk countries and regions identified by the Thai government must complete vaccination for 14 days before boarding, hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate and medical insurance with a sum insured of US$50,000, and also need to undergo a nucleic acid test after entry.
Previously, Thailand announced on October 11 that it would open 10 countries and regions to the entry of tourists without quarantine, and the scope of this announcement was greatly expanded than before.
Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha posted on social media on the evening of the 21st that in order to restore Thailand's tourism industry as soon as possible and boost the national economy, it is now necessary to speed up the opening up.
