BANGKOK: Thailand would not require tourists – including from China – to undergo pre-departure Covid-19 test.
Despite a surge in Covid-19 cases in China, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said all travellers entering the kingdom must be treated equally.
He said tourists entering the kingdom must show proof of at least two doses of vaccinations.
“Thailand is a major tourist destination. Therefore, these measures are necessary.
“There will be no special measures for travellers entering the kingdom because all travellers entering Thailand must be treated the same,” he said at a press conference here today.
Anutin said travellers who will be travelling to Thailand must provide proof of insurance.
“It is to ensure that they can meet the costs of their treatment if their test in Thailand is positive,” he said.
