What are the latest COVID-19 travel restrictions for unvaccinated travelers to Thailand?
In a typical last minute turn of event just hours before government regulations are due to go in efect, they're changed again. Unvaccinated travels can still travel to Thailand without any restrictions but may be subject to testing upon arrival.

According to @sakamoto_kappei
, about 15 tourists on his Turkish Airlines TK64 flight that left Istanbul last night were refused boarding. They didn’t know about the sudden entry rules change. He added there were no checks on arrival in Bangkok. So they could have come

However some passengers (around 15) could't board in Istanbul as they had no vaccination proof.

@Steven *****
people are in the right to complain about the thai government If they have paid for the holiday then they are told that the rules are changed
Because the thai government is going to let the Chinese in Thailand for money 💰
Steve ********
Just don't test positive! Quarantine jail for ten days!
Paul *******
Maybe maybe not. If yes then 5 days quarantine.

It's not. The civil aviation authority of Thailand has outlined these rules. It's a done deal for Air travel at least. No idea about entry by land.
Alison *******************
@Leon *******
It is called a notice to airmen sent by the Thai civil aviation authority directly to the airlines. Exactly the same as the first notice.Leon ********
