For the Alternative Quarantine program, the quarantine day has been reduced to 5 days and an RT-PCR test on Day 4-5.

No. Travelers must remain alone in your hotel room while waiting for the results of your RT-PCR test. Travelers will be allowed to leave their hotel room only after they have received the negative result.

Is it possible to still use an old Thai Pass QR after the approval date has passed?

When it comes to how long travelers need insurance, there are not exactly rules for this. Returning expats are accepted with a 30-day policy coverage.

Thailand now has a Test & Go quarantine waiver in effect and is steadily removing some restrictions to make visiting the country of Thailand and experiencing its beautiful beaches, people in the country, food, and other attractions more accessible to international tourists. Thailand, which is heavily reliant on tourism for its economy, has been severely impacted by the pandemic and is working to recover in stages. Still, before booking a flight to Thailand or anywhere in the world, do not forget to check restrictions before travel at Safe Travel Page.
