Thailand Travel Advice

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Travel safety

Exercise a high degree of caution
If you're visiting Thailand and then travelling to a country that requires COVID-19 testing (RAT or PCR test) for entry, you'll need to purchase medical insurance prior to your arrival in Thailand. The insurance will need to provide cover for COVID-19 treatment. You no longer need permission to enter Thailand, show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result. Thailand continues to experience local transmission of COVID-19. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow government restrictions. We advise: Exercise a high degree of cautionย to Thailand overall due to the possibility of civil unrest and the threat of terrorist attack, including in Bangkok and Phuket.ย  Higher levels apply in some areas.
