The most wishlisted homes in Thailand by Indians

Travelers from India can now make their holiday plans to Thailand, as the country reopens its borders and launches a new India-Thailand air travel bubble. Starting 1 April, vaccinated travellers will no longer be required to undergo COVID-testing to enter the country, and only require one RT-PCR test upon arrival and a self-administered rapid antigen test on their fifth day. 

“As border restrictions gradually ease across many countries in the region, we’re seeing a lot of enthusiasm for cross-border travel. After being unable to travel abroad for so long, travellers are excited to take that long-awaited overseas trip – something we’ve seen reflected in searches on Airbnb following a number of border reopening announcements. Thailand has always been one of the most popular destinations for Indians and the Thai Government’s recent lifting of pre-travel testing is great news for both Indian travellers and Thai tourism. We’ll continue to work together with governments to rebuild tourism and help ensure more communities can benefit from the return of travel”
