Even if I only have carry-on bag and I buy the ticket before arrive?

Where is the cheapest place to receive coronavirus test fit to fly coronavirus test in central Bangkok?

I need cheap insurance to cover the possibility of testing positive on day one I'm ending up in an expensive hospital or hotel. Who knows an insurance provider who will reliably cover this eventuality unlikely as it is as I will have been tested before I get on the plane. Many thanks for your recommendations.

Is it currently possible to transit Bangkok suvarnabhumi airport on a separate ticket. In other words coming in to Bangkok on one flight and exiting to another country on another flight another ticket?

This is great news

Thanks for your idea no I don't rely on anything when I'm in that particular country

I spoke to several people last year who never did their second test (antigen) but you should not rely on that.

thank you for your invaluable feedback. were there any repercussions for those several people?

pcr test required?

And before entering Thailand I need to get a PCR test negative ized? Is that 72 hours before boarding the plane or 72 hours before crossing the immigration line in Bangkok?

And what happens if I test positive on day one with the test and go? Let's say I am asymptomatic do I still have to go to quarantine in an expensive hospital? And the de 5 self test is that regulated in any way or is that just more bumf?

I want to travel to Thailand for at least a month . I am fully vaccinated. I I know I have to go to a special hotel on the first night and take a PCR test there. And after that on 5th day I can take another test but what I don't understand is if I test positive on either day one or day 5 what happens? Do I have to go into quarantine and if so who will pay for it? What if I test positive but have no symptoms do I still have to go into quarantine where do I go what do I do? Thank you for answering my questions. Also as a UK citizen what is the current visa regulation do I still get one month if I fly in or do I need to get a visa in advance?

True enough however I think most Thais don't know whats happening in the rest of the world. There to busy just trying to survive so it will take months  before they end the restrictions 

So it's really better to call it THAI BY PASS until some common sense wackes them in the face

yes forget Thailand far too much hassle. Go to Cambodia instead

Hoi An might be nice to live in, although I personally haven't been there yet. Saigon--forget it. Extremely difficult getting around, and overcrowded.

Have you even been there? I doubt it

Medical insurance for the elderly is often very expensive or if pre-existing conditions were of a serious nature , you will not get a policy .  It is however a solvable problem , how ?

1/ Make 70 years of age and up , free medical treatment globally ( not likely to happen )

 

2/ A union of countries who are agreeable to treat over 70s free . ( Maybe on reciprocal agreements )

 

3/        Example ;  An expat over 70 years old to receive medical treatment abroad and the bill met by his  country of origin , that is , if his country of origin had an insurance scheme ( such as the UK has the NHS by way of national insurance contributions ) and the patient is fully paid up .

At this moment if you are an expat from the UK and think you can hop on a plane back to the UK if you have a medical problem , forget it cos the NHS hospitals and local doctor surgery's  are like dead donkeys ( post covid overworked ) and getting an appointment with your doctor can be up to a 3 week wait , or as I was told , go to the A&E , which I did and waited 7 hours and no treatment .  

England but in Scotland is no problem

I went off the place years and years ago. About 1998 to be exact. I can even manage to avoid spending any time whatsoever in Bangkok absolute <deleted>hole

Two entry tourist visas have not been issued since 2015 when they started issuing the multiple entry tourist visa that allows unlimited 60 day entries for 6 months from the date of issue.

So I expect they have banged up the fee for that as well?

If you buy something in 711 and they put it in a bag for you, you carry that in the street effectively advertising for 7/11. Even though one is not getting paid for that is that considered working? Is a work permit needed for that?

Tell him to check for a chance of test in the airport. 
there might be 24h waiting time for result. But some laboratories do at 45 minutes and around $300

a nice little earner considering it takes about five minutes and costs about $1

 I want to double entry valid for maybe three months?

Best option for a tourist I want to double entry valid for maybe three months?

Where is the best place in Bangkok to get the cheapest COVID tests for the test and go program? Which company provides the cheapest COVID insurance for Thailand and Vietnam?
