Chiang Mai to Nan

[dingdongrb]

Does anyone know, if I travel from Chiang Mai to Nan do I need to self quarantine for 14 days once I arrive in Nan?

[RichCor]

Why are you asking this question in the Chiang Rai forum?

 

And unless you are one of the lucky 500 people who came into contact with one of the many Mae Sai/Tachilek  girls, why would you think you have to self quarantine travelling within Thailand at all?

I apologize if this isn't the correct forum to use for my question. If you know of the proper forum for a Nan question then please enlighten me.

 

A friend wants to travel from CM to Nan and her family in Nan is stating that she would need to quarantine once she arrives. I've been in LOS long enough to know how rumors fly and was just wanting to know if there is any truth to this. Thanks for your worthless reply.

As far as I am aware if she has been living/working in Chang Mai then with inter province travel there is no need to self isolate/quarantine when she goes home, we are off to visit the outlaws soon, just book into our normal resort, no other conditions or requirements.

I'm in Chiang Khong (Chiang Rai Province) ...with the big family working in Royal Police, Marine Police, Military, Local Government, etc, etc, and they say the whole of Thailand at the moment has no quarantine requirements for inter-Province or intra-Thailand travel.

 

The last reference I can find regarding quarantine in Nan Province is a (since deleted) google search: 

Announcement of Nan Province regarding private accommodation as a place to stay for observation (Local Quarantine) of Nan Province (order on June 29, 2020)

I have only been there once and even though it's not a huge city I felt it was pretty well sized.

 

Yellow page, what's that?

I'm more concerned with entering Nan, not leaving. That is because it seems that all the Providences have their own set of rules.

My friend traveled from Chiang Mai to Nan, stayed a few days and returned to CM, as I told you, without problem to entry or exit in Nan.

Well, you didn't actually provide any date as to when they entered Nan. I am more concerned since the recent news of the case(s) here in CM.

I know what you meant but when was the last time a city printed and distributed a phone book, and you just happen to have a recent copy of one from Nan..... LOL

[Bill97]

Went to Nan Wednesday came back yesterday, no talk of quarantine.  Picked up a 2020 phone book in Prae for the city.

Read again my first post, written at Thursday..Thank u

AFAIK there is no quarantine for any of the Thai provinces. You can bet it would be splashed all over Thai Visa and the Bangkok Post if there was.

Having said that, the next two weeks while the health authorities sort out the mess created by the idiots from Myanmar will bear watching.

Here's your first post:

"No problem... a friend of mine just come back from Nan to CM after a one week trip.."

 

I guess I was looking for a more specific date.

 

'Just came back' to some could have been within the same hour of you making that post, and to others it could have been 2 weeks before making that post. Since this recent COVID case just came about I was merely trying to get a feel if Nan had perhaps required a quarantine for those coming from the infected Providence. I wasn't trying to upset you, sorry.

My GF is now telling me traffic from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai on the 118 has been halted, sorry don't have a link.

I would think they would close down the airport first, or simultaneously, if it was Covid-19 related.

 

Chiang Rai has been slow on the reaction/response.

News reports now have 2 women and 4 men who also illegally crossed from Tachileik to MaeSai subsequently testing positive. Two of the infected people in Chiang Rai and Phayao Province visited the a Farm Festival 2020 event in Rai Sing Park (Singha Park) on 29th November. More than 300 Singha Park officers and employees were examined and tested.

 

Edit: Ouch!

More than 80 Thais who worked at Myanmar hotel linked to COVID-19 outbreak skipped quarantine
By rooster59, 12 hours ago in Thailand News

 

 

If the number of people found infected expand I'd expect many northern provinces to go into mandatory 2-week self-isolation.

Why would you go to Chiang Rai,? The subject is Chiang Mai to Nan.

Payao- Naan is considered senic and a good mc ride

True. However, the possibility exists that the OP goes to Nan, then is not allowed back into Chiang Mai province. The next two weeks are fairly critical.

The turnoff to Phayao is at Mae Kacharn after Baan Nam Ronn, Wiang PaPao is further up the 118. Unless you know a route I'm unaware of.

Correct.  Apologies for my error. Whenever I was in the area I would stop in Wiang Papao to visit a mate so that is the name my aging head came up with.

 

remember the road over to Phayao was not paved, ok dry

Must be quite a while since you've been there, it was 100% paved when I drove on it about 4 years ago.

Correct again.  Been over it a few times in  past 10-12 years and found it all paved.  Memory of it being unpaved goes back to late 80’s or early 90’s.  A lot of great dirt mountain roads to enjoy back then.

I'll have to chalk this up, being right twice in a row is some kind of record on TV.
