The number of tourists arriving in Thailand is expected to increase sharply now
the government has ended the Test & Go entry scheme on May 1, and with more
airlines tipped to resume services to the country soon.

Deputy government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul, citing the Civil Aviation
Authority of Thailand's (CAAT) data, said there are now 44,500 flights operating
from the nation's airports a month, 11,000 of which are scheduled international
flights.

CAAT is expecting the figure to increase to 83,500 flights per month, 30,000 of
them international flights, by the end of the year.



The spokeswoman said Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has been closely following
the work of immigration officers at all airports' arrival terminals since the
country fully reopened on Sunday.

"At Suvarnabhumi airport everything is going as planned, though some areas were
found to be packed, such as the Thailand Pass checkpoint," she said, adding
Airports of Thailand (AoT) will coordinate with immigration officers to address
overcrowding in the arrivals hall.

She went on to remind tourists who have not completed their Covid vaccinations
to bring a valid pre-travel RT-PCR test result, otherwise they will be required
to undergo quarantine.

Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob said 16,355 international visitors arrived
in Thailand through AoT-run airports on Monday -- 12,660 visitors arrived at
Suvarnabhumi airport, 747 at Don Mueang International Airport, 2,318 at Phuket
International Airport, 234 at Chiangmai International Airport and 576 at Hat Yai
International Airport.

Mr Saksayam said 16,681 tourists will arrive through the five airports today,
while 17,770 are expected to arrive tomorrow.

Separately, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul repeated his call to have
Covid-19 declared as an endemic disease in Thailand, saying it is necessary to
drive the economy.

Mr Anutin also said that the ministry will continue to work towards ensuring the
country is ready to declare Covid-19 an endemic disease, adding it will also
expedite the easing measures put in place to curb the spread of the disease.

The Tourism and Sports Ministry estimated that about 7 million tourists will
arrive in Thailand this year, below its target of 8-10 million.

According to its estimates, this year Thailand stands to gain about 30% of the
tourism revenues that it took in 2019 before the pandemic hit.
