Authorities will implement special disease prevention protocols for travelers entering Thailand through the Nong Khai border checkpoint starting December 24.
Dr. Apisamai Srirangsan, assistant spokesperson for the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), said the center will inspect New Year celebration venues in provinces such as Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Nong Khai.
Nong Khai, which shares a border with Laos, will be the first province to open to travelers under the Test & Go program.
Thailand is due to officially open all borders on January 1, including crossings in Mukdahan, Nakhon Phanom, and Ubon Ratchathani.
