Is that the little soil one before Soi 5 immigration ? Very good there last year !!! What about the one outside The Avenue Mall ?

You can hardly expect an airline to fly with half empty seats can you . The airlines have lost billions over the past 2 years, I’m quite sure they haven’t got the money to carry on flying non profit routes. Of course I feel for people concerned, best thing get on all companies and see what they can do.

Fujitsu, you say “ buy a return Ticket”. You don’t need a return ticket, just any ticket that takes you out of Thailand, for example, Bangkok Phnom Penh has lots of flights. You don’t have to use it, but handy for checking in when you leave your home country for Thailand.

Hi, I’m going to Thailand middle January 2022. Visa exempt with one 30 day extension. I have friends in Cambodia that I’d like to visit for around 8/10 days. I know it’s a bit early to ask, but what are the odds of me flying in, visa on arrival, ( or what else?) then applying for Thai Pass early to make sure I get it and don’t get stuck in Cambodia.?? Has anyone done this, or applied for Thai Pass from Cambodia ? Could an agency secure it easier than myself ? i will have Covid insurance and a condo rental in Thailand to go back to. Thanks for any info.

Well no one knows that yet. The EU is waiting to see what happens in UK , which will give a good idea on how dangerous this new variant is and how best to react. It’s only been a few weeks, let’s give them time. The UK is a good example having a large population of double/ triple vaxed and a similar population to other larger EU countries. Just heard this now from French immunologists and re animation doctors that are obviously very impatient of knowing more., Most important , everyone agrees , is getting the most people vaxed and triple vaxed quickly.

I always fly Emirates long haul as they fly from Nice( France) which is 20 mins drive from my home. It’s a very good airline, no complaints . I prefer Singapore airways but I’d have to go to Paris to board . If flying to Bali , Australia, Auckland, I would book them. If flying to Myanmar ( not any more) Phuket, Cambodia,Vietnam, Malaysia etc would take Air Asia or Bangkok airlines. No problems either. South America, British airways or KLM.

You are not a foreign arrival if you already live in Bangkok . This is for people arriving in Thailand.

Do you think it will be possible to fly to Phnom Penh or Malaysia, stay 10 days, re do THai Pass and fly back to Thailand and receive 30 days on arrival ( uk pass) and then extension 30 ? I see plenty flights to Phnom Penh. I have friends there.

Sheryl please, I’m still a bit confused over PCR timings. If I’m leaving at 14 hrs Saturday , I thought to do my test the Friday morning, as in France we get the result the same evening. Am I right ? I’ll arrive midday (12h) Sunday.

Not much, but if you have a good education you are more likely to learn these things, and also advice from parents is important. Parents should teach their children from young , savings accounts , weekend jobs, etc . Of course I doubt very much that the majority of Thai parents have these abilities. From a kid I had Saturday jobs, summer jobs, a savings account, my father made us kids have a little notebook, money earned, money spent. I never regretted that as it has helped me all through my life and now I’m a pensioner I’m really happy I can do and go whatever and wherever I like. My brother and sister the same. I have two friends who have been very fashion conscious all their lives. ( in the business). Dior bags and Chanel trainers, expensive cars etc etc. They don’t have half what I have, and now have to downgrade on rentals etc. This is a big problem in Thailand, money goes out faster than it comes in.

I’ve looked into going to Bali, and it’s practically impossible unless you have a special kitas visa, if you are living there or working there. If you go as tourist , you must enter through full quarantine, not sure but think it’s 10:days, and only in certain areas of Bali. At the moment it’s heavy monsoon season until April/May, so no pleasure, almost everything closed and strict rules.Have a look at the entry requirements and Bali forums for advice.

spidermike007, you have to do PCR before leaving home within 72 hrs, then, with the Test and Go, 1 night hotel, transport, and PCR again., There are packages , just look’Test and go. Agoda have the SHA PLUS + listed too. If you arrive on Test and Go in Phuket, the PCR test is done at the airport., Lots of people are having problems with the THAI PASS application, it’s easy, but can take up to 14 days + to get accepted. So apply early. I doubt things will change, especially with New variants lurking, making people panic.

Same as myself! I was told nearly two months for a 60 day tourist visa , an EVIsA as well ! Totally ridiculous. And then non guaranteed ! So visa exempt for me. You read the instructions, 15 iPad pages long! Why can’t Thailand bring in an evisa that is easy and takes a few days, Cambodia easy, Myanmar easy too, most countries take less than a week. Recently applied, French Polynesia, Australia ( before Covid of course). . Many awfully stressed people on FB asking for help. Thailand should be ashamed of themselves , showing the world their archaic ways of handling tourism and immigration.

At around 18 h , I close windows and bedroom doors. Put in an electric plug, Pyrel , not dangerous , and a fan blowing a few meters away from bed. No mossies.

What’s the cheapest taxi on Phuket and how do you get Bolt please?

An agency can do it. Together with a test and go package ( or sandbox etc) and inclusive of Covid insurance. There’s been a lot of trouble with potential tourists waiting weeks and not getting their ThaîPass making for horrible stressed out waits, others get it in a minute. Ridiculous, just have it all in paperform and downloaded. You have everything, you’re ok, if not, you don’t board. It’s not that much.

I had friends in Cambodia and Bali, so often used these trips to lengthen my stay. Never had a problem. Otherwise I went to Yangon and got a new visa easily there .That’s a goner! Getting an EVISA for me is now impossible( I’m in France) I was warned it would take 6 to 8 weeks with NO guarantees ! Things just get more complicated in Thailand every year for me. So visa exempt it is.

pomchop, yes thé visa is a tourist visa, good 60 days , before 60 days is up you can extend at your local immigration for 1900 baht, photo, passport copies, etc. Where are you from, UK ? You get an EVISA if so. A bit complicated for some countries. Apply early. If the borders are open you can do a border hop, but at the moment not. To get another visa, the embassy there would have to be open and functioning too.

In one post it was a Thai American man. Not that it makes any difference.

It’s not on any of the requirements asked for either. I’ve studied a few agency and government rules for entry and not seen this.’ I’m not against it, but isn’t should be mentioned with instructions to deposit. Example, UK , you take the test to your nearest post office and it gets picked up twice a day.Good luck with that in Thailand.

It’s absolutely shameful.On the forums, FB etc, there are hundreds of people who can’t even get a reply, have all correct docs, some are couples with the same docs, one getting the pass, the other not. Really, I don’t know why you can’t just fly with the same info on paper form and downloaded , or refused boarding/ entry. Ridiculous and very unprofessional.

Flying to Cambodia and back to Thailand with Thai Pass and insurance, possible ?

But you can still fly, or not ? Cambodia is open to tourists apparently, and I read Langkawi island too. I suppose you’d still need to do THai pass though and a new insurance. As I can’t get a evisa due to complications of delays, I would try a week or two in either places to lengthen my stay. Maybe the Cambodia forum knows more ?

There’s a list of Thai aprouved insurances that cover asymptomatique cases.

British airways direct 11h40 min if still running.
