TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirement for SHA+ hotels and PCR testing for international arrivals in Thailand remains unchanged after December 16th. Although there were proposals for modifications, they were not approved, and travelers still need to book a PCR test upon arrival and stay in a SHA+ hotel until they receive a negative result. Discussions about future changes continue, with some suggesting a return to quarantine measures.

From Richard Barrow.

“The Minister of Public Health is proposing for Test & Go to be scrapped and quarantine brought back for all international arrivals. This is despite the fact that only 0.14% of Test & Go arrivals tested positive. Even talking aloud about this plan will be disastrous for tourism. “
