It comes after the country’s Centre of Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) announced plans to end a nationwide emergency decree on Friday (30 September).

The country will also reclassify Covid from a "dangerous communicable disease" to a "communicable disease under surveillance" on 1 October.

According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the ending of the decree – which has been in place since 25 March 2020 – will result in the CCSA being dissolved, and all regulations, announcements, and orders issued by the country’s government under the decree will be revoked.
