If you miss the sumptuous food, cheap shopping and night markets in Thailand and are hoping to travel there soon, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that’s not likely to happen this year.

At a webinar hosted by Mekong Tourism Coordinating Office and TravelMole last week, Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya, deputy governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), predicted that the Land of Smiles is unlikely to open its borders to tourists in 2020.

“There has been no talk of or timeline issued for reopening the country to inbound or outbound leisure travel during weekly Covid-19 national meetings,” he said.

The deputy governor for international marketing at TAT further explained that as part of the government’s “very, very cautious” approach to reopening borders, he does not expect Thailand to welcome tourists until at least 2021.
