THE government has announced a plan to waiver mandatory quarantine requirement for fully vaccinated visitors arriving from November in the capital Bangkok and certain tourism hotspots in nine other regions, amid efforts to revive the ailing tourism sector and economic growth.

Thailand planned to reopen Bangkok and some tourist destinations such as Krabi, Hua Hin, Pattaya and Koh Phayam, following the reopening of Phuket and Samui islands in pilot schemes since July, according to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), the country’s Covid-19 task force.
