From 1 March onwards, the Covid-19 testing requirements in Thailand will be eased for travelers who are fully vaccinated.
According to Bangkok Post, travellers who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to take a PCR test on Day 5 of their arrival and instead, they will only need to do a self-ART test.
The Thai government will also be reducing the amount of travel insurance coverage to SGD$26,901, down from SGD$67,254.
Presently, travellers who are vaccinated will need to take a PCR test on their arrival, as well as on Day 5 of their stay in Thailand; and being required to stay at hotels that have been approved on both the dates of the test, as well as showing proof of their booking.
Thailand had previously resumed their quarantine-free entry on 1 February this year after suspending it in December to stem the spread of Omicron.
More than 300,000 travelers have since applied to enter Thailand, of which the majority are from the UK, Singapore, Russia and Germany, according to CNA.
