Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports aims to discuss with Singapore a travel bubble between the two countries.
Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said discussions would take place this week with the Singaporean embassy.
He said: “We have acknowledged that Singapore has previously run the travel bubble with Australia and New Zealand.
“If Singapore agrees to run the scheme with Thailand as well, we would probably be able to receive tourists from Australia and New Zealand, in addition to Singaporeans.”
He added that his ministry aimed to discuss the travel bubble with other ASEAN countries as well, such as Vietnam and Laos where Covid-19 new cases were low.
The travel bubble was expected to be organised from October 1, the minister said, adding that his ministry planned to attract more tourists from China if the country allowed its people to travel abroad.
