Thailand Tourism Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said Thailand will reopen to foreign tourists in October with limited restrictions. In the absence of a COVID-19 re-outbreak,
Chinese tourists will not have to undergo mandatory quarantine and can instead use coronavirus testing and a mobile tracking application. According to Thailand's long-stay tourist visa programme, the first batch of Chinese tourists will arrive in Bangkok on October 20.
Thailand plans to issue 1,200 visas per month to help ease the loss of foreign tourists over the last five months as tourism is severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the report.
Approximately 11 million Chinese tourists visited Thailand in 2019, bringing about US$ 17 billion in revenue, according to official figures.
