The new entry rules for #Thailand start today amid a lot of confusion. All we have is the NOTAM sent out by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) to airlines around the world.

The new entry rules for #Thailand start today amid a lot of confusion. All we have is the NOTAM sent out by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) to airlines around the world. No official announcement from the Thai government and no guidelines to help tourists sent out by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).

Not surprisingly both tourists and tour operators are very angry how the Thai government mishandled this. They have done incredible damage not only to the tourism industry but also to the reputation of the country.

First reports from today is that many airlines are not checking documents (too short notice or they don't want to do Thailand's dirty work) and people are not being checked or tested on arrival this morning.

If you are flying in today, please give us firsthand experience in the comments. I'm particularly interested about people crossing land borders.

The attached document is the original and amended notice sent out by CAAT to airlines. Red shows the changes.

Good luck!
