However, all visitors are subject to the state’s 14-day quarantine upon arrival in an Alternative State Quarantine hotel. The stays are at the traveler’s own expense. Reservations are made directly with approved hotels who will alert authorities regarding the stay and provide guests transport from the airport to the property.

Once at the property, travelers are not allowed to move about the hotel until after they have two negative COVID-19 tests.

More than 120 hotels in and around Bangkok are a part of the program, and Thailand’s ASQ website provides activities such as online classes and free streaming services for quarantined guests.

There are plenty of adventures to embark on once travelers are cleared for entry.

Visitors can explore Northern Thailand, exploring cultural sights such as Pai, Chiang Mai and Sukhothai Historical Park, and engaging in Thai traditions such as creating a Krathong and the powers involved in creating special amulets at the Buddhist Votive Tablets Learning Center.

In Central Thailand, an itinerary can include a deep-dive into the country’s culinary scene. Visit Bangkok’s Yaowarat for unique street bites such as barbecued squid and black sesame dumplings. Travelers can tour through Suphan Buri to learn traditional methods of rice planting or explore the Mon Tribal Village in Sangkhlaburi.

Visitors can also take their time exploring the southern part of Thailand on tropical islands dotted with luxury retreats and plenty of adventurous activities.
