Pattaya plans for reopening with no quarantine for vaccinated travellers

Pattaya will reopen to foreign tourists this year under a model similar to Phuket… but only if 70% of residents are vaccinated against Covid-19. Local officials are seeking more vaccine doses in an effort to reach herd immunity and bring people back to one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations.

Under the plan “Pattaya, Move On,” quarantine in Pattaya would be waived for foreign travellers who are vaccinated against the coronavirus. Pattaya mayor Sontaya Kunplome says they plan to reopen to foreign tourists during the fourth quarter of the year. City officials are targeting tourists from Germany and Russia.

The mayor says only tourists who are fully vaccinated and are travelling from countries that are classified as a low risk by the Public Health Ministry will be allowed to enter Pattaya under the proposed plan. Travellers will need to stay in Chon Buri’s Sattahip and Banglamung districts, which includes Pattaya, for 14 days before travelling to other areas. During their stay, tourists will need to download a tracking application and report to health officials each week.

Those travelling to Pattaya under the proposed travel model will need to stay at a hotel that is certified by the Safety and Health Administration.

The plan still needs to be presented to the Public Health Ministry and then approved by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration.

Another "great" Thai idea that is given wide publicity - except that it is just pie in the sky. It hasn't even been presented to the Heath Ministry yet, let alone the cabinet. When will these idiot officials learn?!!

The Tourism Authority of Thailand has sent out a letter to people in the tourism industry saying that Phuket will open to vaccinated foreign tourists from 1st July. They do not need to do quarantine but they must stay in Phuket at least 7 days. Children only need to do rapid test. The TAT will start their official countdown next week with full details of the rules and what is open for the visitors. (From Richard Barrow)
