Get the Happy Cow app. It's a must have for veg/vegans. Here's a list of those I know are open.

 

1. Yes! Vegan (lovely little place. Excellent fine dining but a bit pricey)

2. Tien Sin Vegetarian Food. Lunch Only. (excellent and cheap) Shows as T&I on Google Maps

3. 5 Star J (pretty good, expensive. However farang owner is a piece of sh...work. Many people stopped going because of him. I haven't gone in 7 or 8 years. Prior to him taking over, was there daily for lunch)

 

There was a great veg stall in Pier 21 Food Court at Terminal 21. Excellent and laughably cheap, but sadly it was out of business about a month ago. Well after the Mall and Food Court reopening. Hopefully they've reopened since. 

The place in Terminal 21 is open again and you're right, it's great. Plenty of choices, mostly 100% vegan, but some occasional options with eggs. Cheap and tasty. I go there almost every day.

Does anybody know of there is any bus or minivan running from Suvarnabhumi airport to Pattaya  at the moment? And eventually how frequently?

Thanks

Andrea

Hi, does anybody know if minivans are running to Pattaya at the moment? And if yes, do you know where is the stop?

Thanks

How did you enter Thailand. Meaning tourist visa, visa exempt etc?

You should not have to do 90 day report.

When does your current extension end and when are you planning on going to Pattaya.

 

 

I entered on tourist visa and did covid extension since then. My current stamp is valid until December, but when I did my previous extension they gave me the notice for the 90 day report which I have to do on October 20th. They said that it was a new rule, maybe it's just here in Koh Tao. I'm planning to leave to Pattaya in a week or so. 

As I understand, I should be able to do the 90 day report at any immigration, as long as my new landlord register my stay at the new address. Am I correct? 

Hi 

I have to do my first 90 day report next month in Koh Tao, where I've been since January. It's a new requirement with the covid extension, never had to it before.

However, I'm planning to move next week to Pattaya for a couple of month. Can I do the 90 days report directly there or do I have to go to immigration here before leaving to communicate that I'm moving?

Thanks

Andrea

Hi everyone and sorry if the topic has been already discussed. I couldn't find the answer in previous posts.

Is there any travel restriction to travel from Koh Tao to Pattaya? Koh Tao should be in red One and I'm fully vaccinated. Do I still need a covid test or any sort of quarantine? 

Thanks

Hi 

Has it been officially confirmed that Covid extension is available until September 27th?

Thanks

I recently got a 60 day covid extension (after 30 days extension before) on Ko Samui (entered the country on 18.02.21 with Visa exempt) .

Now on my recent stamp it says I need to do the 90 days report, which is confusing me a bit after reading the opposite here.... 

The stamp also says a re-entry permit would be necessary if leaving the country., so not sure if they maybe put the wrong stamp, intended for any Non-O visa. 

I wonder if I should go back there and check, just to be sure...  Or try if I can do it online, seems some people have been successful on doing also the first 90 days report online. 

 

I noticed the 90 days report stamp when I exit immigration in Samui, so I went back in and asked them. They told that it's not required. Probably they jus use that stamp for every visa in Samui. 

Not that I'm aware of. They never asked me for anything but a photo, photocopies of your passport ( main page, visa, and departure card), TM30 and 1900 THB

Ok so for a foreign visitor can stay in an ASQ or ALQ?

 

,,, I thought ALQ was for national Thai citizens?

 

If we foreigner can stay in ALQ, why make the labelled distinction that a ASQ vs ALQ is different....

 

Where do Thai locals stay for their quarantine?

 

 

 

 

-yes

- nope 

- the difference is just the name and what the acronym stands for ASQ (alternative state quarantine) ALQ (Alternative local quarantine). At the beginning there was only the possibility to quarantine in Asq in Bkk. When they gave the chance to quarantine outside BKk they came up with a new name, just to differentiate the two I suppose 

-Thais can stay and pay in Asq / Alq  or they can stay for free in State Quarantine (which, to make it even more confusing might be the same place, but they cannot choose it)

No ASQ in Pattaya. Think about it before you reply lol

Technically you're right, but your comment is a bit misleading... there's no ASQ in Pattaya because outside Bkk they call it ALQ, which are exactly the same thing. 

I did my quarantine in Pattaya, at Aster Hotel, and everything was great (well....as great as a quarantine can be..). They include pick up at the airport, and they were able to accommodate my food requirements. Little balcony but open from day 1 (a must for a smoker like me), nice modern room, with kitchen area, kettle, fridge and microwave. Very quick to respond at any query 

Immigration bureau just announced it

Thanks for that. The one guy that seems to have had a problem applied in Sriracha, so maybe it's as simple as avoiding that one immigration office (or maybe he was just unlucky).

I'd like to check out the area around Krabi and go up to Hua Hin.

Maybe not exactly where you're looking for but at least on the way from Hua Hin to Krabi...I did my extension in Samui few days ago. Super easy and nice officers, no TM30 required, no need to go back after 2 weeks. Everything is done on the same day. You fill the papers, leave them with your passport there and go back after an hour to collect it. If you go late in the afternoon (they close at 430) you pick up your passport the next morning. At certain hours it can get a bit busy, especially towards the end of the month, but other than that an extremely smooth process
