Thailand eases travel restrictions for 56 countries

The Thai government is easing travel restrictions for citizens from 56 countries to help the country’s pandemic-hit tourism industry recover, but foreign visitors are still required to undergo a mandatory 14 days hotel quarantine.

Tourists from countries including Australia, United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States can now travel to Thailand without visas.

However, they will need a certificate to show they are free of Covid-19 72 hours before travel and a booking at a quarantine hotel.
