The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), in collaboration with Thai Airways International (THAI), Thai Hotels Association (THA) and Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) has launched an ?amazing Thailand Plus? offer for foreign visitors wishing to visit Thailand during the pandemic.
The Amazing Thailand Plus offer, valid until March 2021, for travel dates extending from December 31 to April 2021; comes with more than 400 packages, and includes special fares on international and domestic flights, rooms at government-accredited Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) hotels, and post-quarantine tours or transfers. Accommodation options are available at 70 ASQ hotels as well as 100 other hotels in designated destinations.
To avail the offer, bookings and airfares must be made through the Thai Airways International gateway by selecting either of the packages- A, B or C.
Package A: Bangkok Extra offers a stay at one of the ASQ hotels, based on the guest?s choice and comes with a complimentary post-quarantine half-day or one-day city tour of Bangkok, Nakhon Pathom, or Ayutthaya.
Package B: Bangkok and Beyond (drive-in) is inclusive of a stay at ASQ hotels, based on the traveller?s choice, plus a complimentary post-quarantine transfer, up to 3,000 Baht, from Bangkok to selected hotels in Cha-Am, Hua Hin, Chon Buri, Khao Yai, and Rayong.
Package C: Bangkok and Beyond (fly-in) covers a stay at ASQ hotels, based on the traveller's preference choice. It also offers the guests to choose between a complimentary round-trip domestic ticket post-quarantine, for a trip to Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Krabi; or a trip to Phuket with Thai Smile Airways; or a 3,000 Baht post-quarantine discount on a round-trip ticket for a trip to Koh Samui with Bangkok Airways.
Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, said: ?The Amazing Thailand Plus offer gives visitors value added benefits while ensuring safety and health for both themselves and the Thai people. Every foreign traveller to Thailand must undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine and follow all rules and regulations set by the Ministry of Public Health just like every Thai national returning home from overseas.?
Those wishing to visit Thailand need to apply for a visa, which can include a Single-Entry Tourist Visa (TR) or a Special Tourist Visa (STV), currently available for non-Thai citizens from the COVID-19 low-risk countries following the Ministry of Public Health's directive, which is subject to change further.
Interested travellers also need to enquire at the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate General in their home country, before making any bookings. This is because the application for both the TR and STV is to be made only in the traveller?s country of origin, at a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate General.
