Bangkok is preparing to welcome tourists once again. The most-visited city in the world before the global pandemic is among the destinations planning a wider reopening of Thailand for travelers.

Under the anticipated plans, fully vaccinated international tourists would be permitted to travel to Bangkok from October 1.

Northern Thailand’s Chiang Mai, popular for its temples and mountains, as well as beach resorts Pattaya, Cha-Am and HuaHin, are also gearing up to reopen for tourists.

“More destinations comprising Bangkok, Chiang Mai, HuaHin and Pattaya, are planned to reopen from October 1, 2021,” said the tourism ministry officials.

Most tourists are arriving in Phuket from the US, UK, Israel, Germany and France, asper the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

More than 366,971 hotel rooms were reserved in Phuket in July and August with tourists coming back under the Sandbox scheme. Phuket also secured another 95,997 reservations for rooms in September, according to the tourism authority.
