Pleasure yachts can enter the Kingdom of Thailand

Following extensive efforts by the TYBA and its members we are delighted to announce that the centre for Covid-19 situation administration has agreed to allow pleasure yachts to once again enter the Kingdom of Thailand and for the crew to quarantine on board the vessel for not less than 14 days.

The vessel must apply in advance to enter the kingdom through a recognised Thai shipping agent. All crew must have a medical certificate and health insurance for at least 100,000 US dollars covering Covid-19 and all crew must report their temperature twice daily and undergo 3 separate tests for Covid-19.

Vessels must anchor at one of two designated anchorage spots.
