Over 21,000 overseas passengers arrive in BKK, Phuket, on 1st day without 'Test & Go'
13 Sept 11:14Key points summarised by AI
Thailand experienced a significant surge in international arrivals, with over 21,000 passengers landing in Bangkok and Phuket on the first day after the 'Test & Go' scheme ended.
New entry regulations categorize passengers: fully vaccinated or pre-tested individuals can enter without quarantine, while unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travelers without a test must undergo hotel quarantine.
All arriving passengers are still required to apply for the 'Thailand Pass', and the Transport Ministry anticipates a substantial increase in both international and domestic flights by late this year.
