No way to do this in 6 hours, time to change your air tickets

When I arrived in Phuket sandbox seven weeks ago, I got my result in three hours.

Swab at airport, taxi to Patong, shower and welcome drink, call from reception saying I was negative and free to go out.

"But those who came were complaining that there were only two staff in the whole airport doing checks."

 

But in the picture I see only 2 tourists and 3 staff?

2 staff and one supervisor.

so for Phuket , whats the process as there donest seem to be any "test and go " packages that include the arrival PCR test 

Book a SHA+ hotel on Agoda.

Book test here: https://www.thailandpsas.com/

No need for package.

Does anybody have a list of this SHA+ or quarantine hotel in Chiang Mai?

 

Or can we quarantine in our rental houses or condo instead of a hotel?

 

Is there any direct flights to Chiang Mai?

No, you can stay home.

Checked Agoda, plenty of hotels advertising they are SHA+

The Chiang Mai Hotel SHA+ is 861 baht per night.

As this topic is 16 years old and outdated, let's close it and if you are interested please open a new one.

How did you guys book your SHA+ website? I understand it must be some kind of package, 1 night + testing on hotel premises + pickup from airport by hotel (taking a normal taxi is not allowed?).

Did Phuket sandbox last month.

Boked SHA+ hotel on Agoda for 600 baht per night.

Booked tests here https://www.thailandpsas.com/

They had authorized taxis at the airport.

No package.

Where or in what wayhave you guys booked your SHA+ hotel package?

I was in the Phuket Sandbox last month.

No package, I booked a SHA+ hotel on Agoda for 600 baht per night.

They needed my passportcopy for the SHABA registration

Booked and paid the tests here https://www.thailandpsas.com/

So is this saying that if a vaccinated person does become infected with Covid they are 63% less likely of transmitting it to someone else?   That might make sense given that vaccinated people are suppose to have only a milder case of Covid. 

This article explains it.

I'm sure all the 7/11 staff would jump at the opportunity.

Put a hundred [drunk] people into a confined crowded  space for some hours and you have a very good chance to get a super  spreader event.

Easiest thing would be to limit to 25 ppl per venue.

But this would <deleted> off the rich mega place owners.

Why do Thai nationals  still not have to  provide a negative test before boarding the plane ?

Because if they are sick they need to get home for treatment. /s

Totally dead the last time I was next door at the JW marriott.

 

The trouble is Mai Khao beach can be notoriously dangerous to swim at. 

 

These hotels were built before the Tsunami changed the area and the underlying seabed.

 

Nice hotels but I preferred to stay at other beaches that are safer.

 

Another thing is theres not much to do around there.  Without a car your stuck at the resort.  

 

I imagine the asking price will be astronomical.

Mai Khao beach is in Phuket.

This topic is about Koh Samui.

Do you have a source for this? It doesn't pass the smell test.

Only in Swedish, but perhaps google translate can make some sense.

SVT is the state television news.

If a passenger tests negative when he gets on the plane, why does he require a test when he gets off? Makes no sense

In Sweden one company got caught not sending the samples to a laboratory for testing.

They just pocketed the money and wrote certificates.

Makes me think of my PCR test before I left, I just spit in a test tube and got my certificate 12h later.

That's good for cheap air prices. Once China Air and China's other airlines, start to fly international flights, the costs to fly will be reduced by 1/3. 

Air China= China

China Airlines = Taiwan

The testing company my wife had to use to get into UK did the same thing

 

My testing company in Sweden was a beauty shop where I was asked to spit in a test tube.

Paid my fee and 12h later I got my certificate.

Only available testing facility in my hometown for travel certificate.

As long as there's no worldwide testing authority it's a scammers paradise.
