BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Thai authorities are mulling over waiving quarantine requirements for selected foreign travellers when the ban on incoming commercial flights are lifted, by matching tourists from low-risk countries with low-risk destinations within the kingdom.

"This concept involves identifying low-risk areas in Thailand and overseas to create a sort of international tourist bridge or pipeline linking travellers between these two areas," the Tourism Authority of Thailand's (TAT) deputy governor for international marketing Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya told The Straits Times.
