Authorities will implement special disease prevention protocols for travelers entering Thailand through the NongKhai border checkpoint starting December 24.
Dr. ApisamaiSrirangsan, assistant spokesperson for the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), said the center will inspect New Year celebration venues in provinces such as Chiang Mai, NakhonRatchasima, and NongKhai.
NongKhai, which shares a border with Laos, will be the first province to open to travelers under the Test & Go program.
Thailand is due to officially open all borders on January 1, including crossings in Mukdahan, NakhonPhanom, and UbonRatchathani.(NNT)
