Thais arriving from 45 low risk countries and Hong Kong to be treated like citizens of those countries
14 Sept 04:51Key points summarised by AI
Thailand reopens with relaxed entry for Thais from 45 "low risk" countries and Hong Kong, exempting them from extended quarantine and health insurance if fully vaccinated, with a negative RT-PCR test, and a one-night hotel booking for an arrival test.
Fully vaccinated Thais from other countries must undergo a 7-day "sandbox" program, while unvaccinated individuals face a 10-14 day quarantine; foreign tourists from low-risk countries still require 3 million baht health insurance.
The new "Thailand Pass" system will gradually replace the "Certificate of Entry" (COE) to streamline the travel process for all arrivals.

She apologized to the victims, promising insurance coverage and additional financial aid, while police continue to gather statements before filing charges.
