Reports that the government is considering scrapping the Thailand Pass for locals re-entering the country is welcome news as it will eliminate another travel restriction.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Thursday said the ministry will ask the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), which makes decisions on easing coronavirus restrictions, to consider cancelling the Thailand Pass requirement for locals.
Mr Anutin said that once the pandemic is downgraded to an endemic, there may be no need for the Thailand Pass.
