Velleman Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 We live in Europe, wife has been fully vaccinated with the moderna vaccine and needs to visit her family in Isaan for some important matters. Does she still have to quarantine for 14-days in BKK before visiting isaan if she travels sometime in July? Is there perhaps a way around it? This is all so confusing because the rules keep being changed. I for one am not going to visit Thailand with any quarantine in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Country doesn't have quarantine restrictions in place for visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 If they go ahead with the Phuket sandbox (supposedly in July), you can fly in through Phuket if you can find a direct flight... depending on where you are in Europe, you might want to check for SQ or EK connecting flights. Then it's just hanging out in Phuket for 7 days if you're fully vaccinated before you can go to Issan or wherever. I bet they don't go through with it, but who knows.

Velleman Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Well, they have changed it back to 14 days in Phuket so that idea is off the table. Wife doesn't want to quarantine in a room for 15 days so the trip must wait until October when they will hopefully let fully vaccinated persons in without all the hassle. Bunch of incompetent imbeciles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Is it 14 days in quarantine? The wording on that ThaiPBS announcement just says you have to stay at an approved hotel (and can presumably move about Phuket)? Otherwise it's just the standard quarantine deal and not any kind of sandbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it would have to be a life or death emergency to get me to voluntarily waste 14 days in a hotel jail. I just can't comprehend people who quarantine to come to Thailand for anything less important than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being fortunate enough to be retired here, with no great need to leave/re-enter Thailand, I agree that it would have to be a life or death situation to get me to travel. However, I guess some people are stuck outside Thailand and haven't seen their wife and kids for a while, or have a home/business here that needs to be maintained. Plenty of people working abroad (oil & gas workers, for example) who would normally get home to their family in Thailand 6-12 times each year, are unable to get home. Although I agree with the quarantine regulations I really empathise with those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
