International arrivals in Thailand increase after restriction easing

13 Sept 12:21 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand has seen a significant increase in international arrivals, with daily passenger numbers nearly doubling, following the easing of COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Effective April 1st, travelers are no longer required to present a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test certificate before departing for Thailand, boosting tourist confidence.
While arrivals still undergo an RT-PCR test upon landing and must await results at a pre-booked hotel, faster processing times (3-4 hours) may reduce the need for overnight stays.
