- Increased number of, and access to, hand-washing/hand-sanitizing stations
- Promoting personal protective practices, such as safe physical distancing, frequent hand washing/sanitizing, and use of a mask
Offering virtual, live-streamed sessions and activities - COVID-19 detection, surveillance, and quarantine facilities
- Full vaccination requirement

Do you recommend getting travel insurance?
The Thai government is currently requiring travelers to have proof of at least $10,000 USD in medical coverage for medical treatment in Thailand. This is subject to change, and if this requirement is removed we will inform registrants immediately. Additionally, we recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover flights, accomodations, etc. Please note that in the case of unforeseen venue capacity restrictions, travel insurance is not likely to cover this circumstance. Please review the terms and conditions of the policy to ensure that it provides the level of protection that you are looking for.
