Along with that, countries like Indonesia and Thailand are ready for a drastic change when these two countries are the most popular with tourists. Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines have also relaxed most of the travel restrictions, and this has made movement between these countries almost smooth and is returning to the way it was before the Covid-19 pandemic.
