Thailand is easing restrictions for fully vaccinated young travellers from, currently, 63 countries, including those from the Nordics and the Baltics, and unvaccinated children under 18 years.
The Royal Thai Government Gazette has officially announced the further easing rules for travellers entering Thailand under the Exemption from Quarantine (TEST & GO) entry scheme, effective from 16 December 2021.
What’s new?
