Thailand plans to end Covid-19 quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travellers from the UK and at least nine other low-risk nations from 1 November, officials have said.

The country’s prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha, reportedly announced the plans during a televised address on Monday (11 October). 

He said the decision "comes with some risk", but claims the move is a "key step" in reviving the country’s tourism sector. 

The 10 nations seen as low risk include the UK, China, Germany and the US. 

According to the BBC, travellers will be required to show proof of a negative PCR test taken before departure and take a second test on arrival. 

If the second test is also negative, visitors from the 10 countries will be able to freely move around the country, the PM said.
