On Friday night, the island of Koh Pha Ngan in Thailand had what is believed to have been the first Full Moon Party of the year, as stated by the deputy governor of Surat Thani. A total of 20,000 individuals showed up to attend the event. Rain fell for a short time during the party, but as soon as the clouds parted, the guests were able to enjoy themselves to the fullest by dancing on the beach as soon as the sun came out again. According to statements made by Vice Governor Choosak Rooying to The Phuket Express, there are so many tourists visiting Koh Pha Ngan and the islands that surround it that there are not even sufficient flights to travel to these destinations. He claims that the tourists are heading to a variety of different islands, some of which include Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Pha Ngan.…
Just days after announcing a new requirement that foreign travelers to Thailand must present proof of Covid vaccination, the country has backtracked and withdrawn the rule. The vaccine certificate requirement, which was set to take effect on Monday, was scrapped due to concerns that it would deter tourists. The change comes as Thailand prepares for a wave of tourist arrivals from China, which has recently reopened its borders to the world and eliminated the need for quarantine upon arrival. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the decision to waive the vaccine certificate requirement was made in order to avoid “inconvenience” to travelers, as most Thais and tourists from China and other countries have already been fully vaccinated and possess some immunity to the virus. Despite the chaos surrounding the vaccine rule, Thailand is still expecting to see 7 to 10 million Chinese travelers visit by air…
