With the Test and Go program, you need to pre-book an approved hotel or resort for at least one day, be tested upon arrival and once you receive a negative result, you can go wherever you like. You’ll also need to self-administer a RAT test on Day 5 and upload the result to the MorChana App. You are also still required to show required documents to Thai authorities to be granted entry. Here are the requirements:

  • A Thailand Pass. Apply HERE.
  • A medical certificate indicating a negative PCR test
  • Travel insurance with health coverage no less than US$20,000.
  • Proof of prepayment for one night’s accommodation at a Safety and Health Administration Extra Plus (SHA++) hotel, which includes the expenses for a PCR test to be taken on Day 1, and a self-administered RAT test on Day 5.
  • Certificate of vaccination or recovery.
  • Download and install the MorChana application to record the Day 5 RAT test result.

Children that are under the age of 18, are not required to be vaccinated as long as their parent or guardian is vaccinated and has a certificate of vaccination.

Medical Certificate for COVID-19 Test Result

To enter Thailand, you are required to have a negative RT-PCR test result. The result must be issued within 72 hours of the travel date.

If you have recovered from COVID-19, you will need a Certificate of Recovery. It will serve as proof that you have recovered from COVID-19 for at least 3 months.

Travel Insurance

You will have to purchase travel insurance that covers the costs of COVID-19 related incidents in case one gets infected during the stay in Thailand. The COVID-19 insurance must have a minimum coverage of $20,000.

‘Time for Thailand’ Anantara Gives Travellers Something to Smile About

Thailand is making its long-awaited comeback with the resumption of quarantine-free international travel. To support the Thailand’s long-awaited reopening, Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas has launched the ‘Time for Thailand’ travel campaign. From street food vendors and spa therapists to Tuk Tuk drivers, the people of Thailand are sending a clear message to visitors from across the globe that they are ready to welcome you back.

A new video captures not only the beauty of the Kingdom’s landscapes but more-so the smiles and warmth of the Thai people – something frequent visitors to the kingdom know so well.  

Anantara, who has its roots firmly in the local soil and whose story started in 2001 with the opening of a luxury resort in Thailand’s historic seaside retreat of Hua Hin, offers some of the country’s most iconic experiences. From urban sophistication at Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel to wildlife encounters at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort and beachfront oases across the South, the brand’s Thailand portfolio is a treasure trove of immersive, hyper-local experiences.

“With our ‘Time for Thailand’ campaign, we are sending a clear global message of anticipation, excitement and belonging,” said Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels, parent company of Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas. “We want everyone, whether this is their first trip to Thailand or fifth, to feel welcome in the knowledge that the people of Thailand are welcoming them back with their genuine warm hospitality.”

From the 1st November 2021, Anantara guests are welcome to visit all of their favourite destinations after meeting the government’s health and safety requirements under the new ‘Test & Go’ scheme that offers a safe and seamless arrival in Thailand with a PCR test on arrival. Fully vaccinated travellers from non-approved countries can enjoy travel to Thailand in a choice of popular ‘Blue Zone’ destinations, while all non-vaccinated travellers will need to complete a mandatory ASQ hotel quarantine. 

Let’s all keep the country smiling and say, it’s ‘Time for Thailand’. For more information about Anantara’s ‘Time for Thailand’ campaign or the ‘Test & Go’ scheme, visit https://www.anantara.com/en/thailand-reopening-offers
