My experience from arriving on Samui from Bangkok one week ago by plane (Bangkok Airways): Officially you seem to need 1) A statement of necessity to travel to Samui signed by the authorities of the province you are coming from and 2) Either a PCR test not older than 72 hours or you have to self-quarantine for 14 days. Actually, instead of 1) everybody was asked to fill in a form upon arrival explaining himself why he or she felt like needing to travel to Samui. When I explained that I had a PCR test one day ago nobody was interested in that form anymore and I just could proceed. The same was valid for another guy who just finished ASQ less than 2 days ago without another PCR test. As said, this was one week ago, no guarantee it's still the same.

I wonder if anybody know an open gym on Samui. I thought that gyms are allowed to open in red zones like Surat Thani since May 17th again, but today I checked 3 places and all 3 were still closed for an undefinite time due to Covid-19:
- Elite Gym and Fitness (Chaweng Beach Main Road): Closed
- World’s Gym (Chaweng Town Main Road): Closed
- Superpro Samui (Chaweng Town Main Road): Closed (and cover charge 300 THB if it were open !)

Mail from Bangkok Air: Rapid test is not sufficient, has to be PCR-RT test.

Bangkok Air itself says unfortunately they haven't received the document updated on 05 May 2021 yet, maybe someone else has ?

I just checked with Bangkok Air and they said the following (new rules as from May 5th):
1. The only requirement to travel from a dark red zone to Samui with Bangkok Air is a covid test not older that 72 hours before departure.
2. This covid test doesn't need to be a PCR test, a rapid test suffices too.
3. A certificate that the travel is necessary is not required for Samui, only for the city of Surat Thani itself.
4. 14 days of quarantine are not required if a covid test not older than 72 hours exists.
5. You have to scan the QR code "Samui Health Pass" in Bangkok and present it when you arrive in Samui.
They also mentioned this FB site for infos: https://www.facebook.com/covidcenterkohsamui/
That would be great if true, can anyone confirm this ?

Related question: If I stay 1 or 2 weeks in an orange zone like Koh Chang and then travel straight to Samui (minibus from Koh Chang to Bangkok, plane to Samui), do I need a certificate of necessicity and to quarantine on Samui just because I cross a red zone (which I cannot avoid since there's no direct connection from Koh Chang to Koh Samui ?) ?

Regarding the local measures announced for the Surat Thani province on April 18th: Does anybody have the details for the rule '14 day home quarantine for visitors from red zone' ? I entered Thailand 3 weeks ago, stayed in ASQ in Bangkok for 10 days, now stay 1 more week in Bangkok, after that I would like to go Samui, but I definitively will not do quarantine again ! Does anybody know for sure whether I had to ? And if so, what does 'Home quarantine' mean for a tourist, stay in the hotel all the time without food and drinks ? Any other measures apart from the official ones like another PCR test for just 3,000 THB ?
Any kitesurfing or scuba diving shops open on Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, or Koh Tao ?

Does anybody know about any open kitesurfing or scuba diving shops on Kho Samui, Koh Phangan, or Koh Tao ? I saw 2 kites on the beach in Nathon recently, but couldn't find a shop renting them out.
