Places that were dark and even accident blackspots were part of the order. 

Driving in/on Samui has been much better since the tourists left, and a majority of businesses closed down, I can't remember the last time I heard an ambulance go screeching by with its siren blaring out...as for the 'dark' bit, that'll be at night I guess ????

I am pretty sure that there was a dedicated thread about it but it looks like a lot of older threads have been deleted.

There used to be a thread about the eye doctor who had a place on the beach road in Nathon who then moved to just after the big roundabout (old immigration turn off) heading into Nathon

What Zone will authorities apply to our situation?

As Tropical said, check with the ferry company...these are the latest regs if you were flying in...

Do I need to book directly with the airlines? Even then these two flights don't show up.

Yes you do...but also the airline has to have a code sharing agreement with Bangkok airways

at at what expense? can anyone answer this yet? do we know what it costs a farang to be foced into hospital?

Without wishing to sound factious, probably whatever they think they can get away with, if you have high end insurance you might find yourself in the Four Seasons (once you've had your nasal passages pillaged multiple times) , if you're paying your own way without insurance then a tent at the bottom of someone's garden is more likely ????

Looks like I have ordered my antipasto box just in time.

I hope you have some nice chilled wine to go with it ????

Edit/additions: Comments in other media says that police last night (5th August) have been telling restaurants not to sell alcohol in Fisherman Village, and in Lamai, and some places on Koh Phangan. One poster says that alcohol is allowed to be sold in shops, but not in restaurants.

Nice... What's the best way to eat corned beef? 

 

Sandwich?

Or make a Corned Beef Hash...????

There is a mention at the bottom of this that says it doesn't apply to Samui or Ko Phangan...but apparently the police were out last night enforcing the no alcohol policy...to be clarified...

You better say that to the demonstrants, without them the spending might not have been necessary...????

If the military hadn't taken over from the elected government then it might not have been necessary either...????

Wonder how many people on this thread have ever rode a trike

I'll bet not many - if any

 

I have...couple of mates used to race them. They were eventually banned in the UK

Meanwhile the TAT were still clinging to the hope that experience gleaned so far in dealing with the pandemic situation could mean a resumption of mass tourism in Thailand for the high season come January. 

Clutching at straws would have been more accurate ????

Call and check with them first because the rules are changing daily.

I understand that either type of Covid test is acceptable.

From the info we received this morning from Phan-gan they will only accept a PCR test and not a Rapid test...this came into force two days ago apparently. I've searched high and low but can't find anything online...the Rapid test is Baht 550, the PCR test is approx Baht 3,000 at the clinic (a lot more if you go to any of the private hospitals) and approx Baht 1,900 if you go to Nathon hospital

Important: You need a (negative) Covid test to enter Koh Samui
RT PCR Test (less than 72 hrs), or AG Rapid test, is now required for all visitors from Dark Red Zone and Red zone to enter Koh Samui. Visitors can no longer enter, or buy a ferry ticket, without a Covid-test.

My daughter was due to go over to Phangan tomorrow, but we've just had a call from the ferry company asking if she's vaccinated, which she isn't because she's only 15...so they've said she needs a Covid test before she can travel over there (and I guess she'll need another before she can come back?)...can anyone shed some light on the costs/time frame/where to get tested please

Not good...

What you reckon?

Tough call, I've no idea who did your repair work, but without the proper tools it's very easy to put a nick in a seal on reassembly...I'd say if it was just one side then that was bad luck, but both sides smacks of something wrong in assembly. As for the fork leg, it's certainly polished up on one side...the only way you're going to know for sure is when the forks are apart is to put the leg in some vee blocks and put a DTI gauge on it...if it's bent it wasn't new

According to Samui Info by Nicha Bangkok Airways seems to stop temporarily operating domestic flights between Bangkok and Ko Samui from July 21. Samui Plus flights should not be affected.

I presume that's what this msg from Bangkok Airways is about...

New Navi for Bikes

Been out for years...the RE Meteor uses the same thing
