Authorities in Thailand have imposed new social distancing curbs as the country battles a third wave of coronavirus infections that has spread to all 77 of its provinces. The growing outbreak began earlier this month with clusters linked to several Bangkok nightspots, and Thailandâs daily number of newly confirmed cases has set records multiple times in the past week. Sunday saw a new daily high of 1,767 infections, of which only two were imported.

If you’re planning to balance a city break in Bangkok with some downtime in the fertile hinterlands north of town, Sala Bang Pa-in may be just the ticket. Perched at the tip of an island in the Chao Phraya River not far from Bang Pa-in Palace, a onetime summer retreat for the Thai royal family, the hotel is also an ideal base for exploring the UNESCO-listed ruins of Ayutthaya’s old city, just 20 kilometers upstream.

Yacht-owners who canât wait to visit Thailand might not be able to skirt quarantine requirements, but they can self-isolate in the comfort and privacy of their own vessels off the coast of Phuket. This week, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) released details of a brand-new Digital Yacht Quarantine scheme. The initiative is led by Thailandâs Digital Economy Promotion agency, the Thai Yacht Business Association (TYBA), and local tech company Pomo House International; the latter is known for developing a series of child loss prevention gadgets, which have found a new purpose amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

In another bid to revive Thailand’s battered tourism sector, the country’s health ministry will recommend the government to shorten its mandatory quarantine period for international arrivals starting in April.
According to the
Bangkok Post, the plan was made public yesterday by health minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who also serves as chairman of the National Committee on Communicable Diseases. He said the committee was “prepared to open the country to help drive economic growth,” and added that it would consider dropping mandatory quarantines altogether for certain groups if 70 percent of all medical workers in the country were vaccinated by October.
