richard_smith237 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 IT seems the CCSA have just agreed to cancel the Thailand Pass for international arrivals from 1st July. Arrivals simply need to show proof of vaccination. I’m not sure what that means for those who are not vaccinated. Outdoor mask requirements also lifted (with the exception of busy areas). I’m guessing more ‘official’ announcements will be made soon.... So far its just Khaosod who are reporting this. https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for Thailand most of potential European sumo holiday makers have already booked up their Summer Holiday breaks and perhaps made nay-decision based on the Thailand Pass requirements. I hope Thailand can now put this to bed and keep from the negative publicity of arresting tourists for smoking dope after so much fan-fare and announcements of legalising it.... Its time the tourism industry in Thailand had a good break and all those small businesses can recover... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that the European Summer holiday break is a minor factor - this is low season for a reason; less people travel to Thailand. What the proposal does impact on is the planning for 'winter' holidays i.e. Thailand high season. I know several people who are now likely to book something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - I live in BKK and never really noticed the ‘seasons’... But everyone I know travels here in the Summer holidays (longer School break) etc... This lifting of the Thailand pass is definitely a positive for those planning ’their break’ later on in the year as well as regional weekend breaks etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat is a type of crazy Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 In actual practical terms I think having the Thailand pass, getting rid of the TM6, having the cheap Covid insurance option to add on to say free credit card insurance that has no Covid cover, was good. Not hard and makes it easy when you get here. But I guess some dont like the mucking about before the trip, and think it is more than it is, so better to go back to before.
