Bangkok, 19 November, 2021 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is highlighting multiple festivals and events scheduled to take place in the 17 Blue Zone destinations during November and December 2021, to help enrich the Amazing Thailand travel experience for visitors under the Sandbox programme.
Thailand is now welcoming fully vaccinated visitors from around the world via the Living in the “Blue Zone” (17 Sandbox destinations) programme. Meanwhile, fully vaccinated visitors from 63 countries and territories can enter via the Exemption from Quarantine (TEST & GO) and partially or unvaccinated visitors are also much welcomed via the Happy Quarantine requirements.
Visitors under the Sandbox programme are currently required to stay at least 7 nights within one of the 17 Blue Zone Sandbox destinations if planning to continue the journey to other destinations in Thailand.
Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor, said, “To help make the one-week mandatory stay a more interesting experience for the Sandbox visitors, TAT has gathered a list of fun and joyful events, ranging from the Loi Krathong Festival, mini concerts, countdowns, car and bike racing, walking streets, food fairs, and much more. These events are scheduled to take place during this month and the next, and Sandbox visitors who are visiting any of the 17 Blue Zone destinations during these two months are cordially invited to join one of these festivals and events.”
