Thailand, which is heavily dependent on travel for its economy, has been among the worst hit by the pandemic. The country, due to being an international beach destination in close proximity to India, is popular among Indian travellers, who could not visit the place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, with many being fully vaccinated and even more having received their first dose, people are more confident about stepping out and several countries, too, are opening up their international borders in a move to boost tourism and re-build their economy.
