Foreign arrivals rise to 11,000 per day after test rule eased

Over 11,000 foreign visitors per day have arrived in Thailand through Suvarnabhumi airport after authorities stopped requiring travellers to present a pre-travel RT-PCR test result last week, according to Airports of Thailand (AoT).

Kittipong Kittikachorn, director of Suvarnabhumi airport, said that the number of international arrivals through the airport has increased by 65%, compared with last month's figures.

Since the scrapping of the pre-travel Covid-19 test requirement on April 1, the number of international arrivals has increased to 11,623 per day. Last month, he said, the figure stood at 7,003 a day on average.
