As the government set a target for foreign arrivals of 7-10 million this year, he said delegates from the ministry and the Tourism Authority of Thailand plan to visit Saudi Arabia to sign a memorandum of understanding with Saudia, the nation's flag carrier, in mid-May.
The Middle East market can help to fill the void in the low season thanks to Thailand's abundant natural resources and rainfall, which matches this segment's travel interests, said Mr Phiphat.
In terms of the "We Travel Together" hotel subsidy scheme, the ministry has to calculate how much of the budget is left from the fourth phase. He said at least 1 million room nights could be added to support the off-peak season between June and September.
The Chinese can't come, the Russians can't afford to come, so they are going after the Saudis, who like to see rain. Don't they have flights from Jeddah to Manchester?
Oh, and more phantom Thai tourist bookings if there is any money left in the budget. What can possibly go wrong?

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
not sure this is real or not as ONLY Khmer times has it reported. Does travelers refer to anyone?
https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501066518/ ... WbY4X83bhIThe checkpoint in Poipet on the Cambodia-Thailand border will open for travellers from May 1, according to authorities in Banteay Meanchey province. Due to Covid restrictions, until now the route was open only for trucks carrying goods.
The province’s deputy governor Ngor Meng Chruon said people can enter and exit the border crossing from Sunday.
Travellers who are fully vaccinated and carrying a passport or a letter of permission will be allowed to use the border crossing, reports said.

Seven and a half hour was all it took for my two applications this morning for my trip on 3rd May
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I got mine after 33 hours for the 2nd of May. Had applied for the old one before, so I cancelled my SHA+ package hotel, after I got the new one. No issues with that and due to free of charge (Thailand pass and cancellation) just a bit waste of time. Easy and straight forward, if you have prepared your paperwork (in digital form).
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
i travelled last august to LOS and this system is not really a waste of time, of course you spend some time, but you do from home, and once you arrive in a thai-airport, everything is quicker to check for them, thats all the princip behind it, can you imagine you arrive with a fully loaded A380 and the airport staff has to check every document, as it was in august ?? They just move the "paperwork" before flying, which is in my eyes a good thing, and avoids people getting denied (and loosing their air-ticket) once arrived at check in, when leaving their country, or, worse, when arriving in LOS.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
i have seen Thailand many ups and downs over the past 38 years, but looks like recovery is on its way
saying 8-10 million this year< might be close
Today marks the first day that fully vaccinated visitors can come to Thailand without having to do any Covid testing or quarantine. 96 international flights are expected to land at Suvarnabhumi airport today with 16,868 passengers.
I expect all land borders open June 1st and thai pass will be a thing of the past along with the required insurance, ( fingers crossed)
I Think ( dont quote me on this) that this applies to Poi Pet border>

Cambodia-Thailand border gate resumes operation from today (01 May 2020) but health measures are strictly implemented.
For Thailand passengers, the number of those who are entering Thailand are (1) fully vaccinated passengers (2) non-vaccination passengers and (2) those who are people in border provinces holding border certificates.
Presentation of Thailand Pass, vaccination card, insurance card within 10 income circle. $1,000, RT-PCR test results, and licensing are followed by type of passenger, as summarized below.

Currently they have only opened the Poipet-Aranyaprathet land border crossing.
