The Ministry of Public Health has given a loose time frame for when it will decide upon dropping the Thailand Pass for foreigners.

To make its decision, the ministry needs more information about cases coming from foreign entry to reach a conclusion, Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul said.

"It's possible that we will cancel the registration requirement of Thailand Pass for foreigners. We need one more month then we will have a clear answer," he said.

Mr Anutin said the country is now relaxing many regulations due to the improving situation regarding daily infections.

The minister gave examples of the latest easing of measures with the opening of pubs, bars and karaoke venues in provinces labelled blue and green zones to boost tourism next month.

He expressed confidence there would be cooperation from related business operators in following the ministry's health safety advice.
