One of the world’s favourite holiday destinations has reopened to sixty

Vaccinated tourists from more than 60 “low-risk” nations are now allowed to enter the country and avoid hotel quarantine, following the easing of travel restrictions and the reopening of international borders.

Tourist numbers are forecast to jump to as much as 15 million next year, bringing in more than $30 billion to the local economy.

However, much of country itself still faces restrictions, with only around 42% of the population fully-vaccinated.

Thailand continues to record high cases of COVID-19, and the vaccination rate remains low

Thailand is still registering almost 10,000 Covid infections a day.

COVID-19 has devastated the Thailand economy, which relies heavily on tourists and would attract around 40 million tourists a year pre-COVID.

Airports that serve Bangkok and Phuket will first reopen to countries including the UK, Japan, China and the US, as well as most of Europe.

The Thai government is predicting revenues to rebound to pre-pandemic levels by 2023.
