Will Domestic Travel Be Available Again After COVID-19 Restrictions Eased in Thailand?

Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expresses hope the government will allow travel within the country soon – and we support these expectations with all our hearts!

The data on tourist destinations searched on the internet as well as search for tourist attractions across Thailand in April was higher than during the previous months showing that the public shares the same expectations.

As a first step, one-day trips within 100-200 km from the home towns may be allowed with longer domestic travel following later on with further ease of restrictions.

It is also probable that tourist destinations and attractions will set limits for number of people who can visit at a time. 

Whether these great expectations are going to become true, will be clear after the resolution of the Cabinet's meeting the next week is announced.

Earlier, Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakan expressed expectations the government would ease lockdown measures to allow people to exercise or move about in public areas.
