Thailand indefinitely suspended a quarantine-free visa program for vaccinated visitors and ordered a ban on the sale of alcohol at restaurants in areas deemed at high risk of Covid infections to curb the spread of the omicron variant.
The nation’s main virus task force spared Bangkok, Phuket and six other tourist destinations from harsh containment measures, but banned alcohol consumption at restaurants and other commercial establishments after 9 p.m, Taweesilp Visanuyothin, a spokesman for the task force, said at a briefing on Friday. Overseas visitors already holding valid visas for the quarantine waiver would still be able to enter the country, Government Spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said in a statement Saturday.
