Tourism operators want the government to reduce the cost of a RT-PCR test as all inbound travellers have to bear a higher cost from undergoing two tests and an additional compulsory hotel booking on the fifth day due to a new rule under the Test & Go scheme, effective from Feb 1.
“There’s no exception for Thais and expatriates. Despite having a permanent home, they have to check-in at a hotel again on day 5 to undergo the second RT-PCR test and wait for a negative result before checking out,” said Yuthasak Supasorn, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) governor.
The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has reinstated Test & Go registration for every country from Feb 1.
