Thailand to stop state-funded quarantine for air arrivals
Thailand will stop providing state-funded quarantine facilities for air travellers from July to ease the cost burden on the government, the National Security Council (NSC) said Friday.
“The number of people who need to return to Thailand is very small or could be zero at the moment,” NSC secretary-general Nattapon Nakphanich told reporters.
Some people had travelled in and out of the country several times, putting a strain on the state’s budget, he added. State quarantine facilities would still be available for land arrivals but that was also under review, he said.
