The government decided on December 21, the quarantine-free “Test & Go” model, according to which fully vaccinated tourists only had to do a PCR test when entering the country in November and then had to wait one night in their hotel for the result, initially until January 4th. The situation should then be reassessed.
Vacationers who had already registered for entry under the “Test & Go” model were exempt from the stricter regulations and were allowed to travel to Thailand as planned. You can continue to do so, but only until January 10th. New registrations are currently no longer accepted. Anyone who wants to come anyway has to be in quarantine for seven or ten days – depending on the country of origin and vaccination status.
The sandbox model on the largest island of Phuket, which has been running since July and where fully vaccinated tourists can take a quarantine-free vacation under certain conditions, is still running. However, concerns about the spread of the new variant are great on the island: According to authorities, 144 Omicron infections were recently recorded on Phuket, with locals and tourists.
