Suvarnabhumi Airport previously had only 8 booths serving around 400 hotels. With high demand, 9 extra booths have now been added.
To create the QR code, the airport collaborated with Thailand’s Tourism Authority, hotels, and travel companies.
Kittipong Kittikachorn, the airport’s general manager, said the QR code will tell travellers which desk to go to.
Travellers into Thailand, including Thai citizens, have had to navigate the much-altered Thailand Pass since November last year. Travellers now have to upload vaccination documentation, pre-booked accommodation for 1 night and a pre-booked PCR test. The on-arrival test may be dropped, following recommendations to the CCSA, from May 1. But the CCSA say they will wait to see what happens, regarding Covid cases, until April 22 where a decision about the future of the Thailand Pass will be made.
