Fully vaccinated travellers from any country around the world can apply for a TEST & GO Thailand Pass via an app to enter Thailand, from 7 March. The requirements for international arrivals by air and land are that, on the first day of arrival, visitors should take a RT-PCR test and wait for the result within an approved hotel, spending one night there. A second test is then required on Day 5 by a self-ATK method. That result must be reported via the app. It also involves a second overnight stay.
The second RT-PCR test will not be required if the traveller’s length of stay is less than five nights,
The news is a sign that Thailand is reopening for business events and organisers are already rushing to fill the gap.
Organisers of Cosmoprof CBE ASEAN, scheduled 15–17 September 2022 at the IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Center in Bangkok, are meanwhile, gearing up their marketing for their trade show serving the fast-growing beauty market of South East Asia.
