2. They get a single-dose vaccine; such as the Janssen vaccine, no less than 14 days before their travel date to Thailand.
3. In the case of mix-and-match vaccines, travellers should get their second dose of a different vaccine within the recommended interval of the first vaccine no less than 14 days before their travel date to Thailand. For example, if the first vaccine is CoronaVac from Sinovac Biotech and the second vaccine is AstraZeneca, the time between the two doses is two to four weeks.

Visitors from countries not yet on the approved list can still travel to Thailand but under the Sandbox model, which allows fully vaccinated tourists from about 70 countries to travel to Thailand without quarantining provided they stay in designated areas within Phuket, Phang-Nga, Surat Thani, Krabi or other approved destinations for at least seven days before travelling to other parts of the country. Those travelling to Thailand under the Sandbox model are also required to be regularly tested.

Meanwhile, Malaysians returning from overseas travel are still required to take a swab test three days before their trip and another test upon arriving in Malaysia, and undergo a seven-day period of home quarantine.
