one two three
hello everyone i hope you are all having a wonderful day it's another beautiful sunday
here in bangkok and as usual another updating vlog from live love thailand
as you saw lately we were posting vlogs about how thailand can reopen soon
and start welcoming international tourists against all odds
so in today's vlog we are going to talk about the latest situation in thailand
the preparation of the reopening in october the new regulations and measures that might be applied
what are the major provinces that are getting ready to welcome international tourists
moreover the full reopening of thailand without quarantine which
is expected in january so lots of interesting informations stay tuned and enjoy till the end
tourism and sports minister of thailand has confirmed bangkok chonburi petchaburi and
chiang mai will begin implementing their tourism reopening plans on october 1 as planned so as we
mentioned in our previous vlogs that the reopening plan will go on against all odds and that means
covet or not covet thailand will start reopen according to the schedule so what are the
details and what could be the new entry requirements once the plan is activated
thailand is readjusting its reopening model as it will adopt the 1sop1 system policy
removing both mandatory quarantine and sealed roads
for all major areas within this year and cutting covet 19 test cost by half
so what do they mean by this new plan under this plan every province will apply the same as opis
standard operating procedures which will enable tourists to travel freely within
designated areas in each province tourists are simply required to follow the guidelines
such as activating the tracking app and being checked daily by hotel manager in sha
plus hotel instead of being kept in quarantine or only traveling under a tour program
now what this new plan simply means and how things can be easy or complicated
if they are applied let us simplify it and tell you
what might be the new traveling rules in the coming months before the full reopening
so once the new plan is on all the reopened provinces will be under the same
rule which means no quarantine or obligatory stays in the hotel
but when they said you have to be checked up by sha hotel manager then it means still we
have the mandatory hotel bookings for specific times and that means not any hotel you can book
for the first period and i guess that could stay till the full reopening of thailand
the second thing is that how long you might stay in the same province
before you can travel to the other ones will there be mandatory stays or you can freely roam around
well it could be this way a plan to let tourists travel within those areas
as soon as they get negative pcr results they also can choose to stay at any sha plus hotel
so if it's like that then it will be okay for tourists to roam around
as they schedule and if not then it will be a kind of sandbox
the reopening plan for five more areas pattaya chiang mai hua hin cha
um and bangkok will be submitted next week in order to start receiving tourists
from october 1 while samui plus will pivot to a quran free destination at the same time
one of the major destinations is pattaya that might bring some life to the city
if this plan started and attract tourists after a long time of closure we will talk
about pattaya reopening plans in details this week so if you are interested try to catch it up
bangkok's reopening for vaccinated tourists will be delayed by two weeks
as most of the city's residents are still waiting for their second jabs while the tourism ministry
has pledged to open the city to bring at least one million international tourists this year
the quran team free entry via bangkok will benefit the whole country
as tourists usually visit bangkok as their first destination
before traveling to other provinces with the seven plus seven extension plan
which will be enabled at the same time tourists can stay in the capital city for just seven days
and choose another eight provinces in the pilot reopening program as their second choice
if the public health minister reduces the quran team period from 14 days to 7 days
in the near future tourists in any sandbox program could go anywhere in the country from day 8.
so all in all thailand reopening plans are on and the coming month will reveal more details
so we will keep updating you if any major changes i hope you enjoyed this
