Thus, tourists will not have the opportunity to spend their Christmas or New Year holidays in Thailand.

Currently, the country’s authorities accept tourists with a 60-day tourist visa and “multiple” quarantines, which reduces tourist flow to a minimum.

Travel companies owners are asking Thai government to lift the mandatory quarantine clause and negotiate a “travel bubble” with Chinese provinces and other regions that have a “low” risk of COVID-19 infection.

But the authorities refuse to comply with these requests.
