Thailand’s Borders Not Re-Opening for Tourist Until 2021 – Tourism Authority of Thailand

Thailand is unlikely to reopen its borders to international tourists before the end of the year, as mentioned by the deputy of the governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya.

According to him, the Thai government is ‘very careful’ in reopening the country’s borders so that no increasing cases occur in the country. So, Chattan expects Thailand is unlikely to accept new tourist arrivals until early 2021.

“I do not see any sign when the government wants to reopen the country’s border this year, although the current situation has a huge impact on the country’s tourism industry. Imagine the presence of the tourists during Christmas and also the Chinese New Year celebration, it will be difficult for us because this is the peak time for Thailand”, said Chattan.

At this time, the Thai government only allows important individuals such as foreign diplomats, businessmen, foreign investors, and Thai Elite visa holders to enter the country.

“Only visitors from cities with a record of zero infections for at least 30 days will be selected, and they will only be able to travel and stay in designated hotels and provinces. Other conditions include a Covid-free certificate 72 hours before flights, as well as insurance and swab tests.”
