An old man with dyed hair cannot be trusted.
Take a look at the JUNTA that are holding power ATM. There are many old men with died hair and some that need to be propped up, ????????????

That is interesting, which airline did you fly in on?
Finnair arrived @ 16:30, admittedly the crush was just outside door 8 which I believe is the only door your allowed out of.

Although this is not now a new exercise in the current times, Yes! however it felt like being in a tin of sardines ( not that I have ever been in a tin of sardines.) ????

I used to fly Thai (TG) back in the mid 90's when they were a great airline to fly, but alas just the arrogance of the other Worlds Best Airline (they say) British Airways, they have lost their way. Couldn't be amazing if they tried harder. I wouldn't fly BA either. S++t

It's far too much compared to plenty of other places.
Nobody will come and the rules will change, the only unknown is how long it will take for them to catch on.
Sorry to tell you I arrived on the 1st April, returning after 3 years and loosing my wife's Father some months ago, and not being able to get here I had a FULL flight and Hundreds of people with NO social distancing trying to find a Hotel Rep outside the arrivals area on level 2 at swampy.

Well after a issue with the check-in staff at Heathrow over pre-departure test, we finally got here, T&G is not so bad, arrived at the hotel at about 18.00 took the PCR test and was told result by 01.00 am, it actually arrived at 03.00 all clear and free to go????????. Travelled to Buriram only to find that the local Ampur can decide what he wanted, and although the government said acceptable a PCR test and the statement that is TEST & GO, I then found out that I had to stay home for 2 days before I could leave my house. So welcome to Thailand the place that used to be known as the Land Of Smiles, it still holds the abbreviation L.O.S. but nowadays it stands for the Land Of Scared people. ( But at least I made it home, and should be thankful for small mercy's.

The latest twist to this is I have just got off the phone with my airline ( not my airline, but the one I am traveling with) and was told that because my journey starts from London on the 31st March I still require a pre-departure test, even though I don't arrive in Thailand until the 1st April and where nobody will be bothered to check if I have had a test, so the answer is don't leave your home country until after the 1st April.

mickj88, as I see it you can't take the test until 72 hours before anyway, so just wait until the 1st and check with your airline they should update their website by then, if you still need it for departure you still have time. BTW when my wife spoke to the Thai embassy in London they told her they would not need to see it in Swampy after the 1st.
Good luck

When I asked at the Finnair check-in the other day the supervisor told me I would not be allowed to board without the PCR test and I fly on 31st March, this is because as of Thurs 24th the airline has not been up dated.
-
Well! I have just returned from the Finnair ticket desk in LHR ( I live nearby so was easier than waiting 2 hours plus for the phone to be answered)
Although Thailand has lifted the need for pre-departure tests from 1st April they have not bothered to tell the airlines, so I still require a PCR test for next weeks departure but wife and son traveling on Thai passports do not.
That's up to date @ 15:00 24/3/22.

I arrive on April 1st, but depart March 31 so still need the test ????
Not sure, I have tried to find out but to no avail as yet, I will try and contact Finnair later this week, because as I read it it says " No departure PCR required for Int arrivals from 1st April" so as long as you arrive on the 1st, in theory you shouldn't need a pre departure PCR.

I depart the U.K. on the 31st March and arrive on the 1st Apr, spent 3.5 hours trying to get through to the Thai embassy for clarity and was told check with your airline. Go figure!!!
But i suppose only to be expected.

I have received my travel insurance document from "Alliance" and after a short phone call they have now changed the heading to "Travel Insurance cover for Thailand" at no extra cost. ????

I am in the process of filling out the Thailand pass, up to now it has taken me over 3 hours, the main problem with it is having to convert PDF's in to JPEG, what a bloody performance and it's amazing that you can upload a PDF on the last page. Just Bloody crazy

With all the travel restrictions and hoop jumping to get through, it's unlikely there are many Russians or Ukrainians in or about to travel to Thailand anyway, However a more interesting question might be, How much Russian currency is Thailand holding in foreign reserves now that the Russian currency is all but useless?? which brings back a thought of years ago, when it was not known as Rubels but "RUBBLES"
Just a Question to ponder for the illustrious P.M. and his Hub of finance.

I picked up a copy of Friday's the London Evening Standard and although this wasn't the main splash, I thought it might be a little food for thought for "The Great and Wise" Prime Minister and his LACKY A-Nut-In.
This is what happens when you remove all stupid tests for fully vaccinated people, for what is in most cases nothing more than a cold.
Plus I thought the first two words were extremely poignant.

Someone should let the Thai embassy know, the UK embassy still has no link to application for test and go. We booked a flight on Dec 19th for the Mrs to fly out on Jan 10 only for them to cancel all applications from Dec 20th which stopped going as the confirmation didn't arrive before we could get hers in. That has cost me over £200 and now we have to pay for another test costing a further £100 so all in all at present I'm going to be £300 down. No doubt the flights will be more expensive now too. I read all the time on here, people banging on about the tourists , what about the poor Thais trying to get home to see their families. Poor lass hasn't seen her ailing mum for 3 years and unless they relax the entry restrictions then I may never see my mother in law again. If I go in April as originally planned I cant afford to stay in BKK for 6 days waiting on a 2nd test. There are no SHA+ hotels up in Isaan for me to check into on the 5th day , so 6 days in BKK puts £600+ on to my visit. I doubt the TAT realise that a hell of a lot of their tourists actually arn't toutists but are spouses and when these spouses visit they spend more than most tourists as they generally have a weeks holiday and then spend money treating their inlaws. I would guess between the Mrs and myself we spend over £3k in the month we are usually there but that will not happen if its costing us an extra £1k just to get into the place .
I have a similar problem however, depending on where you are in Issan there are SHA plus+ hotels in Korat, Buriram and some other places I believe

Why would Australia opening influence dual pricing in Thailand?
Sorry I didn't mean dual pricing I meant the stupid PCR Test and Go Back Go, must learn to be more precise in my posts.

To be fair, I have emailed plenty of SHA plus+ in Buriram but this is the first I have had a reply from, so will wait and see.
I really think that now even Australia is opening up that the Thai's may drop this nonsense. ????????

If I was a gambling man, I would have dbl Thaksin's daughter to win the election by a landslide and Prayut to be the next P.M.
Looks about right to me ????
