Thailand eases rules for foreign visitors to reboot tourism - a focus write-up from Bloomberg

BANGKOK, Feb 26 (Bloomberg): Thailand will further relax entry rules for foreign visitors starting next month, bowing to demand from the local tourism industry to lower costs as more countries ease border controls to lure holidaymakers.

Vaccinated visitors to the South-East Asian nation won’t be required to undergo a mandatory polymerase chain reaction test on the fifth day of the arrival starting March 1. Instead, they can do a self antigen test, scrapping the requirement to have a confirmed hotel reservation for the test.
