    She and her friend, both suffering from a fever, cough and runny nose, then checked into a hotel before calling a Grab Car to Chiang Rai airport later in the day, where she took a flight to Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport and her friend to Phitsanulok.

    Could someone please try to book a Grab Car from Mae Sai and let me know how they get on?  Not available to me when I try.

    I asked for a refund from Air Asia and they said no. 

     

    I think we've been there and they quite rightly said no.

     

    They allowed you to change dates where in other circumstances this might not be allowed, but the question was about the 3,000 baht charge and was it down to you changing to a more expensive travel date or what?

    I paid 3000 Baht to change two tickets till May of next year.

     

    You haven't said if this was a change fee, or a fare difference to travel on a date when the flight was more expensive.  If the latter then surely you can't expect otherwise as without a rule like that everyone would buy the cheapest date available on their route then change the date to when they really wanted to travel.

  4. Well I've got my ticket for a direct bus this evening.  Sombat Tours from UT Bus Terminal 2 to Chiang Rai (not sure what terminal there).  Look like there's about 5 per day, all arriving early morning, with mine being the latest arriving at 10:30am.

    What's your budget? Udon->DMK->Chiang Rai 2-4k baht with Nok Air, much faster than the bus.

    I'm thinking about that too.  Being a low cost carrier I wouldn't expect Nok Air to check through baggage, but their website hints at it.  Can anyone tell me for sure?

    Apologies for the delay in responding I have been pushing for an answer to your question but have not had any luck. Its just one of those unwritte rules that the hotels are following. If you are not married you cant share, if anyone does not believe me just try booking a double room without a marriage certificate. I have heard of unmarried parents sharing together with a child but the birth certificate naming both parents must be produced.

    I'm sure it must be in the requirements somewhere, otherwise why would a hotel put this on their website?  This is from the Avani FAQs.

     

    Q13. Can families share a hotel room?

    Yes, we have Family Rooms to cater for families up to four persons. A copy of the parents’ marriage certificate as well as children’s birth certificate must be submitted when making the Alternative State Quarantine hotel reservation. A waiver must be signed agreeing that all family members will be admitted into hospital quarantine should any of the family members tests positive for COVID-19.

    Q.14 Can friends or unmarried couples share a hotel room?

    No. Only married couples and families can share a room.

    There is no direct bus from Udon Thani to Chiang Rai.6 days ago

    Currently you can travel to Uttaradit where you change onto a Rayong to Mae Sai service via Chiang Rai. Suggest check at Bus Station for times and details. The bus company is Phetprasert Tour.

    Thanks, I think I found that and the second bus is a Nakhonchaiair one if it's the same one.  I didn't fancy a 1 hour connection to a different company as I don't think they'd wait if the first one was delayed.  I'll choose between that or a night in Chiang Mai if nothing better comes to light.

    I did it a three or four times when I was getting my visa in Vientiane, it's about 13 hours to Udon then a second bus to the border if that's your plan; leaving CR at 6pm... or was back then.

    Stops for a meal at Phitsanulok, trust me you need the break.

     

    Edit: the return trip is similar, leaving Udon at 6pm and getting into CR at 7am

    Not going to the border but can you remember the bus company or what bus station they used in Udon?  I saw one offering that involved a change of bus companies (Phet Prasert to Nakhonchaiair) in Phitsanulok that made me wary.

    Try downloading the AOT airport app which one is required to download as a requirement for re-entry to Thailand .It has a Covid-19 reporting section however it also requests access to your personal files / data / contacts -   that's a no no for me !!  

    How did you get in without it?  Paper copy of information requested?

  10. Any recent information on transport options between the two mentioned?

     

    Buses seem to require a change except perhaps Sombat, but not 100% clear from the booking sites on line and I'd prefer direct.  I'll go to the bus station and ask when I get to Udon, but any information prior to that would be appreciated.

    Still same unfortunately. I click staying with family who reside etc more than 60 days and then it shows visa type non o but won’t put it in selection box and then says invalid visa type ! ????

    Did you find any old/partial applications to delete?  If there was a few it might be worth looking again as the screen does not auto-refresh.  And did you open up the date ranges sufficiently to when you might have just even played about with it in the past?

     

    I'm not doubting what you've done, it's just the symptoms seem so similar to something I came across when using the system.

    Yes except when I try click visa type and entries it won’t let me enter anything but first two choices work .

    Go back to the opening page and select the option to edit an existing application (or something like that).  On that screen you will see any historical applications, even though they were incomplete or you never realised you had saved them.  You may have to edit date ranges or something else to see them.  Delete any old ones, then go back and start again and you should be able to select your desired visa type hopefully.
