THAILAND WILL OPEN BORDERS FOR VACCINATED RUSSIANS
The Association of Tour Operators of Russia reported that resorts in Thailand will soon begin to welcome Russians who have been vaccinated against Covid-19.  The Sputnik V vaccine will suit the local authorities.

The head of the Thai Tourism Authority said that the issue with the approval of the Russian vaccine had already been resolved.  However, the country's embassy has so far asked not to rush things.
It is reported that the official confirmation should appear soon.
For the moment, a mandatory 14-day quarantine is provided for travelers from Russia. When the country changes the rules for vaccinated Russians, upon entry, you will need to show a vaccination certificate, confirmation of a prepaid reservation at the SHA Plus hotel (for Phuket) and at an ALQ hotel (for Koh Samui).  You will also need to fill in an entry form, pay for 4 PCR tests, provide insurance for at least $ 100,000 (including COVID-19 risks) and install a tracking application.

ATOR reported that a new 7 + 7 recreation scheme is starting to operate in Thailand.  On it, tourists will be able to travel to other Thai regions after a mandatory stay in Phuket for at least 7 days.  Among the territories allowed for visiting are the provinces of Krabi, Phang Nga and Surat Thani.
