Jabs, tests and apps: A guide to travel in Thailand as COVID controls ease

13 Sept 16:52 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand eases domestic travel restrictions, yet the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) recommends travel only when essential due to persistent high infection rates.
Domestic travelers must adhere to varied provincial entry requirements, which include proof of vaccination, negative COVID-19 test results, or mandatory quarantine, particularly for those originating from 29 'dark-red' provinces.
Specific regions like the North (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai) and South (Phuket, Krabi) enforce strict protocols, often requiring vaccination, recent negative tests, and dedicated app registration, while Bangkok itself has more relaxed entry rules, though departure points may impose their own restrictions.
