Also does anybody know how to edit the title ????

Does anybody have any recent updates in what is required to travel to Phuket now? Do you need to take a covid test?

Yeah it's been flexible up until now. But this is a new policy under the test and go scheme. We fant wait any longer it's been three years and this is our only opportunity where we both have time off work to see each other. Really hope there is some flexibility if she does test positive. Like you say it's statistically unlikely to happen but it's very expensive if we are the unlucky ones. Also what happens to me if she gets covid? Do I have to quarantine too?

Have you read all the reports? This isn't about getting someone here. The insurance fully satisfied the Thailand pass. She is fully booked to arrive. However every tourist who has tested positive after arrival lately has been forced into a 100,000 baht quarantine, and reports have shown that their insurance has not been willing to pay for it. Where have you been?

Hi, I am having a shocking time trying to find out what's possible here. My mother is desperate to visit me after 3 years being unable to. When the test and go scheme came about she booked a trip to Phuket. But now I am reading horror stories and warning articles about 100,000 baht hotel isolation bills, for people who test positive, not being covered by insurance. Even after all this time has there still been no information about how to resolve this? I can't find any information on whether any insurer will cover this. Is a trio to Thailand really such a big game of Russian Roulette now?

Hi, Does anybody have updated information on whether it's possible to travel by bus to Phuket, and what kind of paperwork is required?

I have have mixed feelings about whether masks are helpful but I do enjoy wearing them. When I don't feel like interacting with people the mask gives me a sense of distance.

There's nothing on their website. Useless as usual for these websites. The link on the Thai immigration website leads to a dead end for Udon. I checked their Facebook page and it mentions nothing. But that's meaningless since Thailand always makes rules that they don't inform anybody of. So that's why I was hoping somebody could speak from recent experience.

Well it makes perfect sense when you don't have time to go to the immigration office. But pointless if you have to go anyway. So can ahybody confirm whether or not Udon Thani now has an appointment only rule? Can we not just walk in anymore?

That's what I thought. The whole point was so I wouldn't have to go in and sit and wait. If I have to go with her then I may as well not use an agent. But my question was about making appointments. Do we need to make appointments now to go into immigration?

I wanted to send an agent to the immigration office to get me a visa extension but she said there are new rules and that I need to go with her, and that we now need to make appointments to get in. Last time I went to Udon immigration I was able to walk in at my leisure. Are there new rules there now about making appointments?

Can't fit sofas and beds in a pickup. Had this problem initially moving up from Krabi. Barely fit luggage and a couple of desks in a Hilux Evo.

No, my previous topic was about how to get myself and my luggage there. Now I'm talking about large furniture items. I had intended to just ditch my furniture, but now rethinking.

Does anybody have any idea what's the best way to move some furniture from Udon Thani to Nakhon Sawan? I have a bed, washing machine, exercise bike, and some desks and chairs that I'd like to take with me, but if there aren't any practical options available I might leave them behind. Any tips about what would be the best way to move furniture and how much it would cost?

I'm actually planning to ride a motorbike now and get a friend to drive with my belongings. I will have to leave a lot of larger items behind though. I have no idea how to have furniture items moved, or whether it's worth it. I feel like the cost of having furniture moved might cost more than simply buying new furniture.

Your my plan A is to rent a car and get a mate to drive. But i don't know if it's likely to happen to looking at plan B.

I've been meaning to take the trip to Malaysia. Of course bkw is not the time. Long distance train trios aren't the same since they banned alcohol a few years ago. Used to be a really nice experience having some beers while watching the rice fields go by at sunset.

I've always enjoyed the train. Will be travelling alone though. If I bring a friend we will rent a Hilux together. The train is my back up plan if my friend doesn't join me. Will bring plenty of downloaded Netflix episodes, games and YouTube downloads. And a book to read! I hope you can still eat on the train.

Grab taxi between the gaps. And get a friend to pick me up when I'm almost there. Nakhonchaiair claims to be running normal schedule. I need to find out and confirm somehow. If I can get a bus from Udon to Phitsanulok, and Phitsanulok to Nakhon Sawan I'm sorted. Either than it train via Korat/Saraburi if they are running.

That's promising since Nakhon Sawan is quite a bit closer. I thought it would be a lot more expensive than that.

Oh and by appliances I mean a rice cooker, hotplate, and kettle. Nothing crazy. Plus two large suitcases full of personal belongings.

3000 baht might be ok for same day. No cheaper public hospital options?

I already looked into the train. You're allowed to bring 20kg of luggage and unlimited other luggage that you can pay for. I don't have a choice, I need to be in my hometown near Nakhon Sawan by the end of the month. If I can't get a train then I am hoping to buy extra tickets on the bus for extra luggage. Hiring a Hilux isn't an option as I don't have a license to drive a car. I've been riding a motorbike for years now. I was expecting transport to be back to normal by now. The restrictions are a lot more extreme than expected.

I imagine a pick up truck for 1 passenger to go 8 hours would cost several thousand baht. Hoping for a train or bus at least most of the way.

It's going to be a bit unpleasant buy seems the most feasible way to travel with all my belongings. About a 10 hour trip.
