Coronavirus
There is an ongoing outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), including in Thailand.
The Thai authorities have introduced a number of screening, surveillance, prevention and control measures to limit the spread of the virus, and additional measures may be introduced. You should comply with any additional measures put in place by the local authorities.
Passengers who travelled from or transited China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Italy, Iran and South Korea in the 14 days prior to their arrival in Thailand: Thai authorities have screening measures in place. They may quarantine some passengers either in designated facilities or require them to self-isolate at home/accommodation. This would be for a minimum of 14 days from the date of their arrival in Thailand or until their departure, if sooner. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand have also instructed airlines not to fly passengers to Thailand from these countries unless they are in possession of a health certificate confirming they do not have coronavirus. You should check with your airline before you travel.
Passengers who have travelled from or transited the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States of America in the 14 days prior to their arrival in Thailand: Thai authorities have screening measures in place. These measures may include self-monitoring for 14 days and reporting symptoms to Thai health authorities.
Thai authorities may introduce further measures including a requirement for travellers to report their health status and symptoms to Thai health officials via a mobile application. You can monitor the latest updates from Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health on its website, and refer to their Q&A for travellers.
If you’re returning to the UK from Thailand, consult the latest advice from the Department of Health and Social Care on actions you should take.
