From 26 June to 5 July 2020, Hyatt hotels in Thailand are selling vouchers with up to a 40% discount.
With the exception of Park Hyatt Bangkok, these vouchers are all valid until the end of March 2021 at least, which (hopefully) improves the odds that you’ll have a chance to use them .

Most of these vouchers don’t require you to use them in 2020, which is good because this year is looking more and more like a write-off for travel.
If you do want the 40% discount, do note that you’ll need to commit to buying at least 11,000 THB (~S$500) of vouchers.
Stays made with these certificates are not eligible for World of Hyatt points.
What credit card should I use to purchase Hyatt Thailand vouchers?
These transactions will be processed online in foreign currency, but I’m not sure whether they will code as hotel expenditure (which is good for some cards like the DBS Altitude, and bad for others like the Citi Rewards) because they’re offered by a site called MegaTix.
Therefore, I’d recommend the following cards:
| Earn Rate | Remarks | |
 UOB Visa SignatureApply here |
4 mpd | Min S$1K max S$2K FCY spend per s. month |
 DBS Woman’s World CardApply here |
4 mpd | Cap S$2K per c. month |
 SCB X CardApply here |
3 mpd | Until 30 Jun 20. Min spend S$2K per c. month |
 SCB Visa Infinite |
3 mpd | Min spend S$2K per s. month |
| S. Month= Statement Month | C. Month= Calendar Month | ||
Conclusion
Hotels in Thailand have been very active with their promotions, and this latest one from Hyatt joins similar deals from Marriott and Anantara.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the risks inherent in purchasing prepaid vouchers before pulling the trigger- it’s possible that travel restrictions may remain in place at the time you want to travel, or that the property issuing the voucher may close down.

what are the chances we can travel to thailand by december?
Given that Singapore has already secured travel arrangements since its announcement to start in June, and that Thailand had announced its intentions to relax lockdown and seek travel bubbles from 1 July, it is quite likely that we can travel to Thailand by December.
Expect a new normal, however.
