The Southeastern Asian nations of Thailand and Cambodia have long been dream destinations for backpackers and explorers, with myriad temples and shrines to discover, exciting cities, and incredible beaches.

However, the pandemic ground tourism in both nations to a halt. For several years, restrictive measures meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 made entry difficult, and their tourism industries suffered as a result.

Thankfully, these requirements have now ended, and travelers are welcome to visit Thailand or Cambodia restriction-free.

Post-Pandemic Travel to Thailand

Though Thailand entry restrictions had eased somewhat in 2022, travelers were still required to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test as recently as last month. These restrictions ended on October 1, 2022. Travel to Thailand is now just as it was prior to the pandemic, with no testing, vaccination, or quarantine necessary. In fact, Thailand is offering longer visas on arrival as well, making it an even more attractive vacation destination.

Post-Pandemic Travel to Cambodia 

Cambodia ended its COVID testing requirement earlier this year, but travelers were still required to fill out a health declaration form and provide proof of vaccination in order to enter. As of October 6, these requirements have ended as well. You are now welcome to travel to Cambodia regardless of vaccination status, and with no testing or quarantine requirement.
