I think they announced it just recently. Rather to early to see influx in October.

Some countries, like germany, opened for summer holidays, despite omicron. As to boost tourism and travel.

Yes, they had inevitable wave, but rather small one. 

For them winter time waves are more dangerous, as they are enhanced by flu

Went through Germany this summer where masks was mandatory on all trains, i.e. public transports..

TP is only good for one time entry.

 

You'll need a new one.

 

I completed my application today, easy. Instant confirmation by e-mail.

 

 

That's all well, but from where? Your home country? That's the problem with me. I will not be in my home country but a foreign one with a different Embassy, which I can only imagine will complicate matters.

What's the stated validity on the TP you have?

 

If it was issued under the original test and go, that would have needed a single, first night AQ and test. Did you cancel the hotel, test and flights that the issued TP is linked to?

 

Easiest way to get the correct answer is to email tp consular themselves. They will have the definitive word if an old TP can be used or linked with the new TP double testing rules.

Yes, I used the TP back in November and stayed at a required hotel + test. I'm still here in Thailand, but my multiple 60 days visa runs out on Feb. 22nd.

With the borders still closed I'm forced to fly out and fly back in to get another 60 days permit of stay.

So, my question was, if my original TP still is valid or do I have join the circus of obtaining a new TP in a foreign country in order to get back here?

But like you said, better contact the Thai Embassy who issued the TP in the first place, thanks...

The no quarantine quarantine option!

Does that mean the Thailand Pass that I was issued back in November is still valid upon re-entry into the Kingdom?

Yeah what ever..........Start with the fact the poor doctor was killed by a Cop who then left the scene without so much as a sorry

 

Anarchy is way over due & would be a vast improvement over this ruling class of swine

By the way, how does a mere cop able to afford a rather expensive Italian superbike like a Ducati?

Hitting a cow in India is a far worse offense than killing a pedestrian here in a zebra crossing. It is not uncommon that a mob lynching follows the injury or death of a holy cow...

Your testing will be done right in the airport, but then you'll need another, second  test for departure to Thailand -- they don't give you a report of your airport test and anyway it is rapid antigen test so doesn't meet Thailand entry requirements. There are only a few  places you can do this test for travel purposes, and it  takes at least 24 hours to get the results.

 

In addition, flights are only in the morning (and need to book well in advance - they fill up as demand exceeds seats).

 

So you'd need to spend at least 2 nights there..and that's assuming you go straight from the airport to the testing location for the pre-departure test and there are no delays in getting test result. Personally I'd allow a day or two extra just in case, especially given that you likely can't change flight schedule on short notice.

 

No quarantine unless you have the misfortune of testing positive either in arrival or on your pre-departure test.

 

COVID tests for travel in PP can be done at either:

National Institute of Public Health in Toul Kork   https://niph.org.kh/niph/detail-news-events/224/index.html

(can pre-register online)

 

or at

 

Intercare Medical Center
Olympia City, Building C5, Tower A, 12^th floor
Sangkat Veal Vong, Khan 7 Makara

Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Web site: www.theolympiamedicalhub.com

Both are $130

 

 

Thanks a million for the very detailed info, which l certainly will keep in mind, when l make my decision...

Other than flight time, not much difference in hassle factor for entering Thailand according to where you are coming from.

 

You can enter Cambodia with just a pre-departure COVID test and proof of vaccination (a second test is done at the airport on arrival at no cost to the traveller). But be forewarned that the COVID test for departure back to Thailand will cost you US$130 in Cambodia, so double what it costs in Thailand.

 

Be sure to get Thailand Pass before you leave, in case something changes while you are away - last time, at leastm, they continued to honor already approved passes.

I already have a Thailand Pass, which should be good along with my Multiple Entry Visa for a period of 180 days and Cambodia sounds promising as long as there's no quarantine and I can return as soon as my testing is done.

Stunning RTP spokeswoman in hot water?

 

I was expecting to see a photo of her in the bath.

 

And why do the police have a parachute and wings on their uniform? Do they do parachute training? Serious question.

 

Remember Idi Amin? He wanted those wings on his uniform so bad, but was scared s***less of jumping out of a plane. I can't remember what country he was in at that particular time, but a large wooden box was built next to a pile of sand. He made his jump from the crate to the sand with a bonafide issued parachute and was immediately awarded his golden wings...

I think the real question may still yet be: would not being allowed back in be a problem?

I have a Multiple Turist Visa which allows me to stay for 60 days at a time during a period of 180 days. Before the Covid restrictions we used to drive to Cambodia, get my 60 days visa renewed the same day and then return back to Pattaya. Since border crossings now is out of the question, I'm forced to leave by air to some nearby country, a place from where it would be far less troublesome to get into the kingdom without too much hassle, any suggestions?

Not surprised: at all with the colorful use of skin color in these news reports. Tone deaf comes to mind.

Surprised: Omicron has to be in quotes.

Surprised his nickname wasn't "Tool". Pretty much sums it up for this type of scumbag, got the nuts and arrogance to pull this on a woman at midday, then straight to the pawn shop, followed by brazen drinking in short order with probably equally suspect mates. Obviously not the sharpest "tool" in the box and an easy clear up for the cops as I doubt you can do much on that road without being videoed.
