Fair enough. An educated guess but I believe they will make an announcement next week so prolly wait till then

I guess it depends on what you want to book. With flight ticket prices, I wouldn't be surprised if they increased strongly for July once the phuket sandbox is confirmed.

Ah, that's good to know! Thanks.

Were you at the Salzburg one, by any chance? I was hoping that they would have more information. ????

Has anyone asked their embassy? Surely they must have an idea how to get an COE for a Phuket flight without a ASQ reservation?

Seems we are all in the same boat as Im trying to get there in July from the USA...would be willing to stay in Phuket for the 7 days if I can bounce up north to CNX

Good luck to you too! It's definitely a stressful situation with all the uncertainty involved. I will try and contact the consulate soon, maybe I will get some helpful information out of them.

Thanks for the tip with Emirates, that's awesome! And that insurance is enough to enter Thailand? Yeah, I guess getting the COE will be tough, considering you need to share the quarantine facility with the embassy. I plan on contacting the embassy in the coming week, and I will update this thread if I have new information on that. Would appreciate if you could do that too. ????

E: The weird thing is, the Thai Consulate in Salzburg says on their website that VISA-free entry is possible currently. But how does that make sense with the COE?

Thanks for your answer and the tip with Phuket Alldar, that's a great help. Fingers crossed that this plan goes well for the both of us!

Can you maybe share your battle plan in regards to how and when you plan on booking an ASQ Hotel? I will try to change my arrival destination to the Phuket airport and hope for the best, but I guess it would suck to book an ASQ Hotel last minute.

Also did you have any troubles getting your visa and insurance, or is that still a WIP for you? Thanks for your help, it's great speaking to someone with such a similar plan!

Hi folks, I'm sure many of you are tired of this topic already, but I would still like to give this a shot.

I have an temporary remote work opportunity from July to September, and I want to spend that time in Thailand. I know it's not a good time because of COVID, and I understand if you judge me, but I do not want that opportunity to pass without at least trying.

I will be fully vacinnated and my flight is scheduled for 06.07 from Vienna to Bangkok. I would not mind rescheduling the arrival city, if Bangkok is currently not a good idea because of COVID (I've heard that the Thai government is opening up some areas as quarantine-free zones?).

And this is where I ask for your advice, I'm overwhelmed by the information out there. As I understand it, I will have to quarantine and I can only quarantine in a special ASQ-Hotel. I will also need a special visa, private insurance and some other documents.

Can you maybe point me to a thread here or a website that can help me with correctly identifying all the things that I need to do? Or should I just contact my local embassy?

Is this even feasible, or am I wasting my energy?

Can you maybe give me a breakdown of the costs of the quarantine? I've heard that the ASQ-Hotels are very expensive.

Thank you! Again, you probably get this kind of question a lot, so I appreciate any response.
