PCR-test for unvaccinated daughter? Parents vaccinated

[george]

A friend of mine is really confused with Thai entry - travelling to Bangkok on Thursday first thing and our daughter, who is 13 (is not vaccinated for Covid) but travelling with two parents who are fully vaccinated.

I am on hold to Thai embassy - but don’t think they will pick up, and guidance online is unclear. Anyone who might be able to assist us please with clarifying whether daughter will need a PCR test?

Somebody more expert will probably answer you soon, but it is my understanding that if the girl is less than 17 and is travelling with her parents, she falls in the same scheme as the parents.

If they are both fully vaccinated, she doesn't need to show proof of vaccination.

 

Mind you this is for entry into Thailand. Airlines might have their own specific requirements.

"Children aged below 18:
 - Vaccination not required if travelling with parents / legal guardian
All age group may travel alone (unaccompanied) if fully vaccinated"
