A meeting with Chonburi Governor Pakarathorn Thienchai, Tourism Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn and Pattaya Mayor Sonthaya Kunplome at City Hall to reassure the Pattaya business community did not have the desired effect.
If the Thai government grants permission, foreign tourists who have been vaccinated will no longer have to quarantine in Phuket. The tourism promotion plan will be submitted to the Center for Economic Situation Administration for approval tomorrow.

Thailand is cautiously moving towards a phased reopening of the country to tourists likely to start in April, but the doors may not fully open to tourists until January 2022. According to the plan, Western tourists are only welcome again in five provinces in October.
Day 2, 3, 4, I've already lost count. All kinds of thoughts flash through my head: Dreamed of Bubba's pancake.
Landed on a tropical island: Back to Thailand
Finally, finally it's time. I'm flying to Thailand. I've wanted it so much and now it's here.
I am thinking of going to Phuket as soon as the weather is possible for about 3 weeks. My question is, can you travel directly from Bangkok to Phuket and quarantine there (hopefully only 1 week or less) or do you have to quarantine in Bangkok first?
The Ministry of Health is asking the Thai government to shorten the duration of mandatory quarantine for incoming travelers from 14 days to 7-10 days from next month.
Prime Minister Prayut announced yesterday that Thailand is working on a new plan to track tourists when they visit the country. This means that the mandatory quarantine of fourteen days can be lifted. Tourists still have to prove that they have been vaccinated.
Sources within the Thai business media say there are plans to end the mandatory 14-day quarantine for foreign tourists.
Will you soon be able to avoid mandatory quarantine in Thailand with a vaccination passport?
Thailand's tourism minister is lobbying hard to allow vaccinated tourists to enter the country without the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
Reader question: Bringing dogs to Thailand and quarantine?
In July this year, my husband and I will be moving to Pathum Thani for work. We have two dogs that we would like to bring with us. We know that we cannot stay in an ASQ hotel with the dogs. Is there the possibility to hand over the dogs to an employee of a dog boarding house upon arrival in Bangkok so that we can collect them from ourselves after the mandatory quarantine?
Are there differences in what you are allowed between the different ASQ hotels during quarantine? I hear these messages around me. Some were allowed to go outside or to the gym for an hour after the first test. An acquaintance of mine has been locked up for 10 days and is not allowed to go outside by the hotel staff.
Reader question: Out of quarantine from Bangkok to Pattaya
Friends of ours will soon be released from the 14-day quarantine in Bangkok. Now the receptionist knew with certainty that they had to “sit” for another 14 days upon arrival in Pattaya. I think the hotel, where they have served 14 days, provide papers from that quarantine and that they were negative with the last test. Surely this is enough to travel to Pattaya? They go directly from Bangkok to their own condo, so everything is arranged, right?
Chiang Rai and cycling…….(5)
It has now been over 2 weeks since I arrived in Chiang Rai after the mandatory quarantine. I'm amazed at how quickly you leave those 15 nights of 'solitary confinement' behind once you reach your destination.
Almost everyone knows that we have to quarantine for 14 days upon entering Thailand. My question though is, you can't go to 7-Eleven yourself for an ice cream cone, bag of chips, or cigarettes. Anyone know how this can be arranged?
Will I still have to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in Bangkok? Even if I have already booked a condo in Pattaya for two months, where can I safely complete my quarantine?
