  1. Kilik. It is answered above. You need an airline partnered with Bangkok Airlines, book a flight to Samui
  2. Arrived Samuel yesterday. Great to be back after 3 years. Our favourite hotel in the world is a bit quiet though!
  3. Arrived yesterday at USM. PCR test very well organised; results [no virus detected] under our door when we woke up. Not many here but great to be back at our favourite hotel after 3 years.
  4. Thai Airways says this: A COVID-19 test with a laboratory result indicating that COVID -19 is not detected (COVID test must be by RT-PCR method), issued within 72 hours before departure is required. Please note that this is required for all travellers, irrespective of nationality and age.
  5. Our hotel has charged us 4,400 for 2 PCR tests; cheaper than at home.
  6. My wife's e-visa took 2 days and her Thailand pass was approved in less than 5 minutes.
  7. Amazingly fast. Submitted my Thailand pass yesterday, when I checked my email about 10 minutes later the approval was there. I then submitted my wife's application, success, checked her email straight. away and the pass was there.
  8. We've got our Tourist visas, just the Thailand pass to go then we'll be in Samui!
  9. London: my wife's visa, application Nov 11, was approved Nov 12. Mine, application Nov 4, is still being processed.
  10. Update: my wife's visa, application Nov 11, was approved Nov 12. Mine, application Nov 4, is still being processed.
  11. "the system is down in some way" That is one relief, I was worried I had uploaded incorrect data. Six working days so far and "being processed." I submitted my wife's yesterday, the system gave a receipt for the fee but fee not charged to our account yet.
  12. Last Weds I submitted a request for a 60 day tourist visa. I realise that the form has to accommodate different reasons for going, but I was at odds about what to do with the question - enter name, details of the person inviting you. We have booked our favourite hotel in Samui, so I entered not applicable. Any comments? I haven't heard back yet.
  13. This was the rule: Air ticket for a direct international flight to Koh Samui or international flight via Bangkok of Phuket that must be connected with approved sealed flights.
  14. I've been looking at their flight stats for a few weeks and LHR BKK seems consistently on time. What is the on board experience like?
  15. I have seen several negative comments on here about Thai Airways. What problems do people have with them? I am considering flying with them LHR BKK in December. Thanks.
  16. DrJack54 - We usually visit in January and February. In the last 25 years we have visited Thailand about 30 times. We've seen all we want to see and now spend the whole visit at the resort, with walks to the nearby Fishermans Village. We are retired and just appreciate being away from the Winter gloom. When we go back to our favourite resort, the bed is decorated in flowers saying "welcome home," and that is what it feels like!
  17. We missed our Winter vacations in Samui in 2020 and 2021. We usually do 6 weeks visa on arrival. We would like to stay longer this Winter. I've been reading up on Samui Plus, which seems to be getting less stringent. We are Irish citizens. What length can we get? I'm a bit confused! I know we would need to get visas from London as the Dublin consulate is closed.
