Why not spend time with your family in one of the best family-friendly vacation destinations in Southeast Asia? Bangkok, Thailand.
For expats and tourists alike, Bangkok has loads of family-friendly activities that even young children can enjoy. Thai people love to accommodate families visiting Thailand, making it the ideal place for family vacations.
The weekend is rapidly approaching, and many kid-friendly options are now available in the City of Angels. But first for tourists, lets take a quick look at how current restrictions look in 2022.
What are the Entry Restrictions?
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic we are facing, traveling won’t be the same anymore and will require more effort and patience.
Before going to Thailand, make sure your family is up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines because from May 1, fully vaccinated individuals will no longer require pre-arrival or arrival negative RT-PCR test. However, all travelers will be required to register for Thailand Pass prior to the journey and proof of insurance policy that covers treatment for COVID-19 for no less than US$10,000.
With the following requirement met, they will be granted admission and will be free to travel across the country. However, for unvaccinated individuals, five-day quarantine is required before traveling to Thailand.
Also, don’t forget! Masks are expected to be worn in public, both indoors and outdoors. Those who don’t wear masks face fines.
