Thailand welcomes first foreign tourists in seven months
Thailand welcomed its first foreign tourists in seven months on Tuesday, bringing a tiny ray of hope to a vital industry that has been brought to its knees by the coronavirus crisis.
Thirty-nine Chinese tourists flew into Suvarnabhumi Airport on the outskirts of Bangkok on a Spring Airlines flight from Shanghai. They have special visas that allow them to stay for 90 days with the option to renew twice. The first 14 days have to be spent in quarantine.
