From 1 March, visitors will be able to take a cheaper rapid antigen test on day five of their arrival, rather than a PCR test. They will still need to take a PCR on day one, and await the results in a hotel.
The new day five lateral flow tests can be self-administered, meaning travellers no longer have to make a hotel reservation to carry them out.
Thailand accepts the UK’s NHS Covid Pass as proof of vaccination, which must be shown by over-18s on arrival.
Visitors must also register with the Thailand Pass and pre-departure PCR tests will still be required. Non vaccinated travellers must quarantine on arrival at an approved hotel.
