Southeast Asia Welcomes Back Tourists – AIR080

Matt Graham

 

So far this year on the AFF on Air podcast, Matt has spoken to Australians who recently travelled to Canada, Fiji and the UK during this post-COVID era of international travel. In this episode, Matt talks to Ben Bartlett, an Australian who recently visited Thailand and the Philippines for a business trip.

Thailand began reopening to tourists in late 2021, with entry to Thailand available via either the Test & Go or Sandbox programs. The Philippines just reopened to tourists in February 2022. So, what’s involved in travelling to these countries right now, and what’s it like once you get there?
