Tour bubble plan in works

People arrive at Suvarnabhumi airport under the resumed Test & Go programme for fully vaccinated travellers who are required to take two tests, one on the first day of arriving and another on the fifth.

The government will open discussions to set up travel bubbles with China and Malaysia this month to attract more foreign visitors, following the resumption of the Test & Go scheme on Feb 1.

Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said on Monday authorities will discuss the details of a possible travel bubble agreement with China's minister for culture and tourism.
