日本人受け入れへ特別便　コロナ後初、タイ到着

　【バンコク時事】多数の日本企業が進出するタイのバンコクに３１日、新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大後初めて、タイ国籍を持たない人の搭乗を認めた日本発の特別便が到着した。特別便は８月は週１回運航。タイ政府は感染の第２波を招かないよう慎重を期しつつ、企業関係者を中心とした日本人の受け入れを徐々に進める方針だ。
　タイ政府は外国人の入国を一部を除き原則禁止していたが、国内の感染状況が落ち着いたのを受け、規制緩和に動いている。特別便に搭乗できるのはタイの労働許可証の所持者とその家族、留学生らで、到着後２週間の隔離を義務付けられる。（2020/08/01-06:16）

Japanese nationals aboard a special flight from Japan arrived in Bangkok on Friday for the first time since the outbreak of the new coronavirus, as Thailand plans to gradually open its boarder for Japanese business people.
   About 120 Japanese passengers were aboard the first flight, which was allowed to carry people without Thai nationality. A special flight from Japan will be operated once a week in August.
   The Thai government is moving to ease its restrictions on the entry of foreigners after coronavirus infection has subsided in the Southeast Asian country.
   Those who are allowed to get on board the special flights are individuals with work permits from Thailand and their families, as well as students studying in the country. They are required to spend two weeks in quarantine after arrival.
   Lots of Japanese people want to travel to Thailand, which hosts many Japanese businesses. The second special flight, scheduled on Friday, has already been fully reserved.
