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.
