Thai government has unveiled its ‘area quarantine’ plan to open Thailand to foreign tourists from next month.
Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said area quarantine will be piloted in 5 provinces popular with foreign tourists – Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, Surat Thani (Koh Samui) and Chonburi (Pattaya City).
He said tourists will quarantine in their rooms for the first 3 days and will be granted access to the whole hotel or resort until their 14-day quarantine ends if no infection is found. Then, they will be allowed to travel freely through the quarantine area.
