The recent announcement about Thailand lifting the pre-travel testing requirement for international arrivals has sparked a mix of reactions among travelers. While some view it as beneficial and a step towards normalcy, others express concerns over potential increases in COVID-19 cases, the need for quarantine, and the implications for traveler safety. Comments highlight skepticism regarding the effectiveness of this change, with many preferring to undergo testing before arrival to avoid quarantine after landing.

I rather take the test in my home country than Thailand 😂

No testing on arrival would be great news... 🙂

China Japan Korea have huge cases now better to put more ban on travel for one more year 🤣
Carl ********
With many other Asian countries getting rid of tests ect on entry this just shows it’s all about money! But surely this won’t last long as it’s now worse than it was before with people on planes possibly having Covid! 😂
Jeremy *********
Lol I will wait until July. I am not going on holiday to be lock up in quarantine.

This great news could send you to the hell of ISOLATION for 10 days with 40k to 60k thb bill.
Because no pre departure RTPCR test means plenty of covid case into the plane & upon arrival at sha+ hotel authority will catch one by one Covid + to send to ISOLATION.

Chris ******
Does this mean still have to fill a stupid thail pass in to enter country before arrival
How is that great news? The Pom pem is the test in thailand not the one at home

I wouldnt say it was good news .
Just means more positive cases boarding the plane and landing there therefore making more money for Thailand in Hospitels quarantining for 10 days because your positive
Yes, I don't think that's a good thing either. Is to make more money. But I'm flying out on April 9th. And still do a pcr test beforehand. And I've been vaccinated 3 times now and have recovered for 1 week.
I've been there twice during the scamdemic and lately I've been reading that most insurance companies dont payout for Asymptomatic cases so your up for 000's of bahts for hospital stay
Yes it is a risk if your want to go but now there is higher risk that I'm not willing to take
