Malaysia lifting curbs on Thai & Khmer visitors

Post by phuketrichard »

I dont know if this includes visitors from these countries or ONLY citizens of said countries>>
also no info on what tests if any required>
If all can visit an no test , its a huge start and can hope in 2 months travel will open for all here.

Quarantine-free entry to start March 15; Indonesia considers further opening up of Bali
Malaysia has announced the removal of curbs on travellers from Thailand and Cambodia, while Indonesia is considering a quarantine waiver for foreign visitors to Bali from next week, officials said on Saturday.

The two countries have imposed some of the strictest entry procedures in Asia to try to contain Covid-19 outbreaks and keep new variants at bay, but the restrictions have battered their tourism sectors.

I loved the Jetty food court in Georgetown, you could spend a year eating there & not have tried all the dishes.
One of the shops had a photo of Anthony Bourdain (No Reservations) with the chef & a chicken dish, so i ordered the same dish from the same chef as in the photo. Incredibly disappointing & bland, just looked good for the camera.
