THAILAND REOPENS FOR INTERNATIONAL TOURISM: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW | FLIGHTLAYAWAY

For the first time in over 18 months, Thailand has reopened for international tourism. After previous pilot programs permitting limited, highly local tourism, government authorities announced that the country was ready to lift all restrictions starting on November 1.

However, there are just a few simple rules to bear in mind. Read on for the full details about Thailand's reopening to international tourism.

Your Guide to Thailand's Reopening

Though the COVID-19 situation around the globe is improving, the pandemic is still very much an issue that requires attention and concern.

To be able to visit Thailand as an international tourist, you must:

  • Come from a nation included on the list of 63 approved countries (this includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, and all of Western Europe). You must have spent at least 21 days in one of these countries.

  •        Show valid proof of being fully vaccinated at least 14 days before traveling. Thailand will also accept a single dose, plus proof of a prior COVID infection no longer than three months before travel. Children under the age of 12 that are traveling with parents/guardians are exempt from the vaccination requirement.

  •          Show a negative COVID-19 test administered no more than 72 hours before departure.

  •          Take a second test upon arrival.

  •          Carry travel insurance that covers at least US $50,000.

      Additionally, all visitors must quarantine for one night in a government-approved hotel. While this might seem like an inconvenient road bump, given the jet lag most travelers suffer upon arrival to Thailand, taking one extra day to regroup and rest isn't the worst of plans.

       Travel Requirements for Entering Thailand

      Travelers will need to apply for – and receive – a Thailand Pass. The steps involved are as follows:

        1.      Register online for a Thailand Pass

       2.    Upload the required documentation, allowing 3-5 business days for the approval process, including         vaccine certificate validation, paid accommodation, and PCR test, to be completed

       3.      Confirm the approval and receive the Thailand Pass QR Code

      After arriving in Thailand, travelers must then follow these steps:

      1.      Present Thailand Pass QR Code to official Health Control authorities; proceed through                             Immigration.

      2.      Take another PCR test at the pre-confirmed accommodation or pre-arranged test center.

      3.      Proceed directly to the government-approved hotel via pre-arranged transfer.

      4.      Install and activate the MorChana mobile app while at the hotel.

      Once travelers receive their negative test results, they will be given an antigen test kit for self-testing on day 6 or 7 of their stay in Thailand. The results must be recorded in the MorChana mobile app.

The Advantages of Online Airline Reservations

Major airlines allow customers to complete the check-in process online or through mobile phones, typically beginning 24 hours before the flight time. Customers enter flight information and identification information to check in early for their flights. Consider the benefits and check the airline's guidelines to determine if early check-in can be advantageous for you on your next flight.   Kipped Lines A traditional airline check-in requires you to stand in line at the airline's ticket counter to get your boarding passes. During busy travel times, the lines are often quite long, requiring you to arrive at the airport early and waste time standing in line.

7 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR CRUISE

Image
No doubt about it: There’s a certain been-there-done-that aspect to many cruises. Unless you’ve booked yourself on outliers such as an expedition ship to the Galapagos or a port-intensive, low-occupancy river cruise in Europe, travelers who board large mass-market ships have largely the same experience: Rush to the port, get on the ship, go crazy with 4,000 new best friends, get off. Nothing wrong with this (hey, you’re on vacation!), but there is a multitude of ways to put a little zip on your next cruise. Here are 7 of them: 1. Get There the Night Before -- and Extend the Fun. Sounds simple, but hundreds of cruisers literally miss the boat each year because of delayed flights, traffic, bad weather and other unforeseen troubles. Others board by the skin of their teeth, panting and screaming at one another. Who needs that sort of stress? Fly or drive into your port city the night before and you simultaneously bypass pre-departure jitters and add a day to your vacation. Ch
