Mask mandate to be scrapped in Thailand from mid June in a boost for the foreign tourism sector
Thai Examiner - Thailand's news for foreigners by Thai Examiner
Episode notes
Visa Global Travel Plan Survey in recent weeks shows that 63% of foreign tourists come to Thailand seeking relaxation from modern life and particularly identified the country’s massage parlour industry, hospitality sector, restaurants and cultural attractions as key reasons for choosing to visit the kingdom. The scrapping of the face mask mandate from mid-June will be a very welcome development although some face mask requirements will remain until the disease is declared endemic which is now expected to happen by July 1st.
