Will probably tell you to turn around and get a test, they do them just before the check point.

Ok so there is no requirement to be vaccinated to enter Phuket by car? 

Hey

If you're not vaccinated yet, can you still fly from Bangkok to Phuket? Are there any COVID related rules or requirements such as showing a negative ATK or PCR test? 

Thanks

Wondering the same. Are there any vaccine requirements, COVID testing or other requirements to enter Phuket by car from Bangkok? 

This is so confusing. Called 3 hotels that are SHA+ and part of Thailand Pass, they all said to book the RT-PCR test at: https://www.thailandpsas.com/. Despite me telling them this is for Test & Go and not for the Phuket Sandbox scheme.

Hotels are doing packages which include the testing.

Where do I buy those packages? 

Aren't you supposed to book the RT-PCR tests here: https://www.thailandpsas.com/ for Test & Go? Or is that only for the sandbox scheme? 

This is a booking for Phuket, not Bangkok. 

Hey

For Test & Go they recommend that you book your day 1 and day 5 directly with the hotel and it must include payment for airport pickup and 2 RT-PCR test fees. But on Agoda, where you can show hotels for Thailand pass/Test & Go, how do I know which ones includes RT-PCR tests and Airport pickup? Many of them advertise Test & Go but I see no information about the RT-PCR tests and airport pickup being included or an option to add them. 

Hey

How likely do you think it is that a vaccine passport will be required to enter places such as bars and nightclubs once they fully open? Several other countries have introduced this for all nightlife venues, shopping malls and some even for workplaces etc. 

The Thai government haven't said anything about this yet but it seems unlikely they'll introduce this given that they still welcome unvaccinated tourists and overall don't have any restrictions for unvaccinated people (besides quarantine for tourist arrivals). On the other hand, Thais are very favorable of the vaccine and they'll be able to vaccinate 80%+ of the population so introducing something like this probably wouldn't cause much dismay among the Thai people so the government might as well just do it. 

What do you think? 

Hey

Does your wife need to join you at immigration (Chaeng Watthana) when you apply for your 1 year visa extension based on marriage? I have signed copies of her ID card and tabien baan. 

Also, do they need to see her ID card or passport or tabien baan in original as well? 

Thanks.

Second box previously was the go to box for most.

There are couple of immigration offices now asking for actual letter (email) from embassy stating no letter issued.

Current example is Hua Hin.

Another office to place on my rubbish list.

Which office are you dealing with? 

I see. I'm dealing with Chaeng Wattana.

The docs are the usual photocopies of pp pages.

Identity page tm6 last entry stamp most recent visa or extension stamp.

TM7 with photo.

May require TM30. 

Affidavit. They will provide that.. Tick second box.

You will receive approval or otherwise on the spot.

You have a non O ? Be prepared to answer why your not obtaining extension to your non O. 

At CW there is print photocopy picture stall lower level if you overlook anything. 

Thank you! About the affidavit, are you supposed to tick both the first box with: "... pandemic situation of COVID-19 is still ongoing"? 

And the second box with "The embassy / consulate is unable to issue the letter of confirmation and request for a temporary stay".

Or is only the second box enough?

Thank you! With a non-imm O visa, do you know if I should go to the Muang Thong Thani or Chaeng Wattana immigration office?

It depends upon what type of visa you entered on. If a tourist visa you would choose that at CW.

If visa exempt you do the appointment at Muang Thong Thani.

Non-immigrant O visa (+marriage extension) is at CW as well? Maybe O visa is a Tourist Visa? 

Can you use this and book an appointment to make a COVID extension? If yes, which option do you select? 

If he used the 60 day extension to visit wife already, can he use the 30 day COVID extension instead? I'm in a similar situation.

One extension per entry.

He may well have already used this but who knows.

I have used my 60 day extension already but I haven't gotten any "COVID extensions". Would I be eligible to get one for 30 days? 
 

I just need 5 days extra to comply with the 400K+ THB for 2 months requirement.

First up it's 2 months not 8 weeks.

You could obtain a covid extension.

They should be continued past Jan 25. 

Could go to immigration and explain why you need the covid extension..

Thank you. I got the COVID extension 1,5 years ago and haven't left Thailand since. Is it possible to get it twice? 

Hey

What are the restrictions in Koh Chang right now? 

Are most places open? 

Planning on making a trip soon. 

Hey

What are the restrictions in Hua Hin right now?

Hey

Anyone got any recommendations for a good dentist clinic in Bangkok? 

Hey

When I moved here some time ago TrueMove was only able to offer me a "prepaid" phone plan that I need to refill monthly. To get their postpaid/monthly plans I needed to show a work permit which I don't have. I'm staying in Thailand on a non-imm marriage visa. They said all telecom companies had this rule but I've since heard otherwise. I'd like to get a postpaid/monthly plan instead as it's more convenient, better plans and you can keep your number if you lose your SIM. 

Which telecom company offers postpaid/monthly plans to foreigners who doesn't work here? 

Thanks. 

So if you're not fully vaccinated or have a negative covid test you can't enter restaurants?
