The Early Arrival Privilege
Those who travel to Thailand via the sandboxes in Q4 and early Q1 are going to experience an incredible Thailand with a tiny fraction of the regular tourism. Landmarks will be quiet, restaurants won’t need reservations, beaches without crowds, communities will be peaceful and untouched, and the parks and nature are simply stunning. This is an experience not possible in the last 50 years. That’s worth the few extra hoops and documentation!
Back in July we hosted a group of US journalists who enjoyed a “sandbox adventure” with us, safely! Here are a couple of articles from their experience: Fodors, Travel + Leisure, InsideHook. Since then we have hosted several clients with the resounding feedback that this is an incredible time to explore Thailand. Yes, preparing documents in advance is required and PCR-COVID tests are required pre-departure and while on the ground but with the help of a local DMC (ahem, ahem!) navigating this process is hassle-free.
Our team is keeping up to date with the ongoing changes in travel policies for inbound travel to Southeast Asia.
