Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said at the weekend that the country's leader is demanding that the Thailand pass system is working seamlessly to facilitate the arrival of foreign travellers and tourists, reported Thai Rath.

 

One of the PM's ideas was to promote the idea of offering holiday packages, said the media. 

 

Meanwhile the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has ensured that the system couples hotels with hospitals and it's all connected to COSTE that can be updated. 

 

There are now 1,128 SHA+ affiliated hotels onboard.

 

The TAT has worked closely with platforms such as Agoda, Booking.com, AirBnB and Expedia so that hotel costs, airport transfers and costs related to RT-PCR tests are all included in the packages.

 

Examples of this are on Agoda's front page.

 

ASEAN NOW notes that the story lacked any substantial change from other rhetoric coming from the government after early hiccups in the Thailand Pass system were supposedly overcome.
