The Kingdom can expect up to 1,000 take-offs and landings daily once it reopens its airports to international flights from November 1, the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (AeroThai) said on Wednesday.

A number of Thai tourists have begun to travel by sea to four Krabi islands, namely Thale Waek, Koh Poda, Ao Railay and Koh Kai in Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park, which is a popular tourist destination by sea and not far from the coast, a park officer said on Wednesday.

Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob said on Monday that the same travel measures should be applied to domestic travellers as those imposed on foreign tourists.

From Saturday (October 16), fully vaccinated tourists can travel freely in Phuket without having to undergo Covid-19 tests, provincial governor Narong Woonciew said on Tuesday.

Kanchanaburi’s Erawan National Park has reopened for day trips since September 10.

Bangkok, Chonburi, Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan and Chiang Mai will reopen to foreign tourists on October 1, the government said on Thursday.

Fully vaccinated domestic travellers will be able to visit Phuket from September 8, when the island will lift its lockdown.
