Booking websites are a thousand times easier than dealing with Thai hotels directly. ????

Just noticed this warning on the Thailand Pass website: URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT ! Starting 4 January 2022 Please be advised to avoid making hotel reservations through Booking.com as they do not fully comply with Thailand’s entry regulations and may result in delayed consideration I booked a hotel for the Phuket Sandbox through the site on Sunday January 2. Anybody have experience of this issue?

Thailand’s COVID-19 alert level raised to 4 amid increasing infections
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Lockdowns and restrictions don’t work. They just prolong the pandemic. Open up, let the cases rise into their hundreds of thousands and let people get on with life.- 13 replies

Covid: Pre-departure travel tests to England to be scrapped
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Finally some common sense. Next up - scrap all lockdowns, masks, vaccine passports, quarantine and testing. -
Phuket Sandbox requires insurance for everyone with a value of at least $50k How long should the policy be for ex-pats returning to Thailand who are resident here? It's pretty clear for tourists - the length of their holiday. But no guidance on policy length for those returning to Thailand long-term.

There is no longer any mention on the Thailand Pass website of the requirement for entrants to the Phuket Sandbox to have spent 21 days in the departure country. Is that rule still active? My plan is to return to the UK early January for a couple of weeks and re-enter via Phuket. The Test & Go scheme made clear that the 21 day rule would not apply to people staying long-term (Eg B visa) would not apply to them. Was that also the case then with the Phuket sandbox?

Yet another knee-jerk reaction from the government to show the hysterical Thai public they’re doing something.- 398 replies

Thailand may cancel Test & Go due to Omicron: Anutin
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is probably the most likely outcome. Increase restrictions so the government is seen to be doing something, but not too much. -
Keep dreaming. High value tourists have other destinations in mind. You know, places where they fix the pavements, taxi drivers don’t scam them, police follow the rule of law, bars don’t rip them off, and they’re generally appreciated.

Testing negative after infection with delta variant
RandolphGB replied to RandolphGB's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Thanks for the advice. 10 days is pretty quick. Was it a PCR test? Did you have mild symptoms? Most travel requires PCR tests which are more sensitive that ATK antigen. Seems like they can still pick up the virus even when ATK tests are negative. -
The UK accepts an ATK test or PCR test to travel there. (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england#when-to-take-your-test) There's no guidance on how to show the negative proof. Is a certificate from a clinic in Bangkok acceptable? Where is this shown? Is it shown to the check-in desk at Suvarnabhumi before departure? Are there clinics in Bangkok that do ATK tests with proof of negative and not PCR?

Has a Thai girlfriend and two kids but left two years ago and hadn't returned since. Sounds like he should have had his visa situation in order first or made the effort before now to return before now.
