Will Thailand require vaccine passports for entry again?

@Steve *****

Yes, it does indeed. Looks like a rewrite of the Bangkok Post article from December 31. Since January 1, aside from this Pattaya Mail article, all references to requiring vaccination proof for all have been scrapped. It appears as though they're no longer planning that. Only for Chinese.

That being said, being Thailand, a flip flop is not out of the question.

However, it would be very strange for Thailand to impose new curbs on everyone, because it would be the only country in the world to suddenly require everyone to be vaccinated at a time when most countries have opened up or are about to.

Even neighboring Laos just scrapped their vax/test mandate, which was actually rarely enforced at land borders anymore. Several land borders report no checks since July, even though the official rule was only lifted on December 27.

oh come on... get over it already. How is it tyranny? Don't carry one or carry one. I couldn't carel less. Remember that you just might have to show. Negative test result like for the past 2.8 years. Move on.

Errr....no, insurance on it's own wouldn't slow things down by much at all. I could accept it as a travel requirement, but vaccination or a Covid test would be a deal breaker.

@Roberto **********

It will slow things down as not everyone is vaccinated or wants to be. It's medical tyranny.

Showing proof of vaccination will at minimum, reduce visitor numbers by 10-20%.

Yep, fingers crossed.

@Paul ******

as is all.

@Paul ******

Many things will change this week Jan 5 will have ( ? ) new or announce current requirements as China's doors open the 9th.

Right now , no requirements, but with everything here...it'll change

I keep a photo of my vaccine history in my gallery on phone.

Always accepted.
