Thailand mulls waiving quarantine for vaccinated tourists

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha said on Tuesday his government will consider allowing visitors who can produce a vaccination certificate to skip the quarantine and authorities will come up with a plan to track them during their stay in the country.
