Hi, in 2 weeks I will fly to Bangkok. I will be using a connecting flight , and depart london in the early evening. 

 

I was wondering if anyone who had travelled to Thailand, from London could recommend a Covid test and Fit to fly service. 

The reason I ask is that most seem to offer two services, a "results within 2 days" PCR test, but this would cut things very fine due to the timing. If my flight was delayed it would go over the 72 hours. Also, although it says 72 hours prior to leaving London, there is also the possibility that I could have problems on the transit connection perhaps?, as by the point of arrival there, I will over the 72 hours.

 

It seems the 24 hour tests are not fully accredited to the same level as the 2 day ones.

 

I was wondering if anyone who has left London for Thailand could say whether they have used these 24 hours tests and been fine or not?, and if so , could recommend one

 

Many thanks

 

Michael

 

 

Join the Facebook group "Thai expat UK (LDN) to Thailand travel during COVID-19" they have tons of info

Stopped staying there in about 2003, but have often had to go back to visit friends who visit who always want to stay there for some reason. KSR itself was never good even back then, but some of the surrounding roads were OK for a night watching the crowds.

For all it's bad points and there are lots, it created a sense of welcoming to many first time visitors and I am sure a few Thai's became multi millionaires milking the backpackers for every satang they had. 

Never forget the braids and never forgive

China is most definitely the one country in the whole world that will continue to make the whole Asian region unstable by their constant childish incursions into other nations territories.  The CCP are a threat not just to SE Asia but to the whole world as they attempt to steal, coerce and bully anything they want.

The world should have had a coordinated response to their aggression in South China Sea and needs to be ready to support Taiwan should it come to it

Apparently one of the boyfriends in Phayao has caught it. Run for the hills people

I always assumed with all the road deaths that Thailand had a well run organ donor system?

Prepare for some grandstanding by DDC director-general Opas Karnkawinpong. He's just become a VIP celebrity.

Good news for Thailand all the same

Thai economy may grow 2-4% next year, but going from -8% it will still be at -4% compared to 2019

How much for a STD??

From a 29 year old? 1000 baht or thereabouts plus barfine

A good idea to test it on the Brits first. ????

A nation of superheroes!

Unfortunately I'm 20,567,307 th in line...

Here's the catch... you have to catch it from a 29 year old woman

They have promised any tourist who contracted Covid from a 29 year old woman who tested positive will be handed 100,000 baht compensation.

Seriously - where is the real connection between Thai criminals going to and fro across the Burmese border and foreign tourists flying in legally???

Exactly. There is absolutely zero correlation. Just another idiotic stab at foreign nationals

Thailand seems to be confused about which direction the economy is headed for the next 24 months?

Banks are getting desperate for ringing up more and more credit. Things are getting bad

Which press do you want to believe. Tak is a long way from Chiang Rai. Why would they go there and then come to Chiang Rai to check into the hospital..

 

Yes, but they were working in Myawaddy which is a long way from chiang rai as well, why would they lie about that?

It is my opinion without proof that these two ladies entered Tachilek Burma illegally. They stayed in a Burmese hotel together for 6 days before they returned illegally. One went to Chiang Mai and the other checked in to the Bangkok Chiang Rai Hospital and tested positive for the Covid 19 virus. I believe they contacted the virus in Burma. Bangkok Chiang Rai  is a very expensive private hospital. Without big money you can't stay there. I suspect that they were in Burma on a business trip that lasted 6 days.

 

Except they crossed over Moei River in Tak not Tachilek according to press

Thailand misses out on big hollywood blockbuster boosting the economy. That should be the headline
