International visitors will only need to show proof of either a certificate of vaccination, a negative RT-PCR, or professional ATK test result within 72 hours of travel.
These tourists will be allowed into the “green zones” designated by Thailand’s Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), which include Bangkok and 76 other provinces, which have also been allowed to resume full operations of tourist businesses and activities.
Thailand, like most of other countries in The Greater Mekong Subregion, are reopening their borders to tourists, as they are adjusting their policy based on the needs of their citizens and international visitors.
Other countries that have recently relaxed their border controls include Cambodia, which only requires proof of vaccination from visitors; and Vietnam, which has gone from closed borders to fully-open in the space of a few months.
We encourage our readers to check out the COVID-19 travel policies page in this newsletter, and study your options so we can welcome you as soon as your travel plans allow!
The governments of Cambodia, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces in China (PRC), Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam established the Mekong Tourism Coordinating Offce (MTCO) in 2006 as a tourism collaboration framework to coordinate activities that boost tourism's contribution to inclusive economic growth and environmental sustainability in the GMS.
MTCO’s work is guided by the GMS Tourism Working Group (TWG), which is made of senior representatives of the National Tourism Organizations (NTOs) of the six member countries.
