Thailand plans to fully reopen by January

Thailand, 7th September: Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports plans to reopen the country without mandatory quarantine requirements by January 2022, although the move hinges on obtaining high vaccination rates.

Bangkok was scheduled to reopen in October. However, as most residents will not receive their second vaccine dose until the end of October, the reopening schedule has been pushed back to November. The reopenings of Chiang Mai, Prachuap Khiri Khan (Hua Hin) and Chon Buri (Pattaya) will go ahead as planned on 1st October.
