Government Thailand Since April, the period of mandatory stay in quarantine for citizens vaccinated against coronavirus has been reduced from 14 to 7 days.

Health Minister Anutin Charnvirankul said the quarantine was reduced for foreigners “who have been vaccinated for at least 14 days and no more than three months before arriving in Thailand.”

Travellers will still be required to test negative for COVID-19 at least 72 hours before their arrival in Thailand.
