Thailand has reopened to fully vaccinated tourists from more than 60 "low-risk" nations, including the UK.

Visitors from countries with low rates of Covid infection and/or high rates of vaccination will be able to travel to the country without having to quarantine from Monday (1 November).


It is the broadest reopening of travel to Thailand since the start of the Covid pandemic last March, with Thailand having trialled several safe tourism initiatives.


Chief among these was its Covid sandbox programme, which allowed tourists to travel to certain areas of the country via certain routes and ports in accordance with strict Covid vaccination and testing rules.
