I received OTP from SCB by SMS while in Australia for transactions using the SCB app. There was no charge. I have a DTAC postpaid account for which I pay every month via the DTAC app.

would you consider sending me a PM with the contact info for the visa agency you use? Thanks

1. Yes, Agoda. OK. Beware of hotels that will not refund on cancellation. Check the fine print. I didn't and paid the price.

2. Your papers are checked again. The ones that were checked at check in. Collect bags as normal. Ask to be the sole passenger in transfer vehicle during the booking process. I did and it happened. Put five bags in front seat, back seat and trunk.

Bon voyage.

if returning on a NON O retirement extension.  no insurance necessary  

Thanks for that info. Is that a new rule and since when has it been in effect?

Would appreciate confirmation from Ubonjoe or someone else.

As prearranged, Citrus Hotel in Pattaya sent a car to tranfer me from Suvarnabhumi airport to the hotel where I received a PCR test on arrival. All done very expertly. I did request that I would be the only passenger and there was no extra charge.

Here are some budget options.

I am hoping to receive a reply from an Australian citizen who traveled from Bangkok to Australia with a RAT.

Where did you get the RAT and certificate to present at check in?

Which airline did you use and what documents did you need to present at check in?

Many thanks.

tel . 0846604096

Thank you for this.

I will be flying Thai Airways to Sydney in February. Can someone who has recently flown to Australia please confirm that he/she was able to travel with a rapid test result only, without a PCR test?

Much appreciated.

Last  year I paid by using my bank app to read the QR code on the bill. I hope that it will be the same this year.

Does a policy that covers hospital expenses also cover hospitel expenses if ordered by a doctor?

I paid 7500 baht for one year but I have not made a claim so I can't offer an opinion.

Do not even understand that.

From your earlier post this.....

 

 "Otherwise come back nearer to your next extension"...

 

What about folk on valid non O-A or PE visa etc. 

Those are stamped in for 12 month permission of stay.

 

 

I had to get 12 months insurance from Tune for 7500 baht.

Dear Glob

From the way you write, you do not have dementia. If you want to confirm this, I suggest that you take the Mini Mental State Examination, which is available free online. At worst, you may have Mild Cognitive Impairment, but I doubt it. Anyway, have a shot and contact me for more information if you like.

I also recommend this free online course. It will stimulate your brain and increase your knowledge about dementia.

All the best.

histopath.com.au Results in one hour. Cost is AUD $79.00

Yes, mine took fifty minutes.

Arrived at Citrus Pattaya for test and go on 7 December at 10.30 pm and got result at 9.30  am. Nurse was very gentle with the swab. Staff were efficient and friendly at check in and check out. Cheapest room was goodish. Meals, well...

Got my Thai Pass approved in 48 hours. PCR test at Sydney airport took 50 minutes.

Quick processing at Suvarnabhumi. Plenty of assistance and no confusion.

Short wait for hotel transfer. Lone passenger separated by a plastic shield from driver.

A little stressful at times because of uncertainty, but in the end, nothing to worry about.

Yes understand all the requirements for the Thai Pass. Just couldn't find any info on ok travel to P town for the test/hotel stay. Big thanks

Best to read all the fine print in case it says no refund for cancellation. I didn't.

I recommend Citrus Pattaya for honest dealing and promptness.

Has anyone used the test and go at Jomtien Holiday Inn?

How was the ride from the airport? Was it waiting when you arrived? Did you have to share?

How was the PCR test and how long did it take to get the result?
