June 28, 20214 yr Popular Post https://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/citynews/covid-19/quarantine-for-arrivals-from-dark-red-provinces/ Chiang Mai Governor Charoenrit Sanguansat has ordered, as of this morning, two checkpoints set up into the city of Chiang Mai – at the Saraphi and Don Chan intersections – to inspect people travelling into the city from the ten provinces which are currently in the dark red zone (Nakkorn Pathom, Nontaburi, Patum thani, Samut Prakarn, Yala, Narathiwat, Pattani, Songkhla, Samut Sakhon and Bangkok). All travellers entering Chiang Mai from the 10 Dark-Red Provinces must undergo COVID swab test on arrival and scan CM-Chana app. If they live in Chiang Mai they must do 14 days home quarantine. If they do not live in CM they must be quarantined in government provided facilities or ASQ hotels and pay the costs. The checkpoints will be up until the end of July, or until the situation changes.
June 28, 20214 yr Avoid superhighway north at Don Chan intersection. Everyone is funneled onto the frontage road, & 2 lanes. Expect big delays at peak travel times.
June 29, 20214 yr What if you come straight from ASQ quarantine? I wonder if you would still need to quarantine? You get 3 covid tests in Quarantine hotel. We are flying from Bangkok to Chiang Mai straight from the quarantine hotel.

We are flying from Bangkok to Chiang Mai straight from the quarantine hotel. I did ASQ in BKK November. Straight to the airport, BKK Air to CNX No issue Now ???
June 29, 20214 yr This may be happening in Phetchabun as well. They are in the process of setting up a road block into our little village.
June 29, 20214 yr The insane overreactions and fear continue to dominate and devastate. Heard this may be the case for Udon too. ????

June 30, 20214 yr The check stops on the highway are only a minor annoyance ,I go that way 2 or3 times a week and never more than a minutes wait . They had them last outbreak also . GOOD JOB to the men and women doing this .
June 30, 20214 yr "All travellers entering Chiang Mai from the 10 Dark-Red Provinces must undergo COVID swab test on arrival...." I know for a fact that at least one plane landing yesterday from Bangkok did not require any passengers to test upon entering Chiang Mai.

I know for a fact that at least one plane landing yesterday from Bangkok did not require any passengers to test upon entering Chiang Mai. I just went to Arcade bus station and asked the ticket booth personnel there about any quarantine if we go to Bangkok and come back to CM. The answer was affirmative.
June 30, 20214 yr More on this today: "Travelers entering Chiang Mai from Bangkok and other Highest Control Strict Measures areas will also have to present an approved CM 4 form (see below) signed by a health official in the area you are departing from. (copy of CM4 here: https://www.chiangmaihealth.go.th/.../coronavirus_form_cm...) You therefore require two forms to enter Chiang Mai, the above CM4 and the form mentioned in the announcement earlier accessed via the QR code in the infographic. Acceptable vaccination status is considered to be one dose of Astra Zeneca or two doses of Sinovac. You may test for COVID before your arrival but certificate must not be older than 72 hours." https://www.facebook.com/covid.int.cm/posts/335920564641005
July 1, 20214 yr Regarding the arriving plane personnel not requiring a swab, could that be because to fly one is required to provide a negative test to board? I live in Bangkok and the airline told me two days ago to fly to CM one needed a covid test.

I live in Bangkok and the airline told me two days ago to fly to CM one needed a covid test. The official announcement is what I have already posted above. However, implementation is a different thing, why not go to the airport check-in counters to see whether anybody is handing over the covid test?

July 2, 20214 yr Wait a minute, now you complete ASQ one will have 3 PCR test results. So if I complete ASQ with 3 negative PCR tests and immediately go to the airport to fly to CNX then I have to quarantine again How about if one has been fully vaccinated(this could be me soon)?

Same same but (not) different. ????
July 2, 20214 yr Author 6 hours ago, Trujillo said: Update: The people on that flight were all notified later and were tested. So are you saying they were tested for Covid on that day?
July 2, 20214 yr Does anyone know what procedures the Chiang Mai train station personnel are taking for people stepping off the train from Bangkok, other than the App registration and informing you that you must quarantine for 14 days? Unlike flying from Bkk where a negative PCR test is required, the train station in Bkk said a PCR test is not required to board a train to CM.
July 4, 20214 yr Author It seems that the Indian variant is here which spreads fast. It was reported to be more infectious than the UK variant which started the 3rd wave. From 1st July, the number of new virus cases is around 6000 everyday.
July 4, 20214 yr So does this apply to people transiting through swampy airport from a non-red area? That would make pretty much everyone flying into CM having to swab/test/and quarantine in some respect if that is the case.
July 7, 20214 yr Author The fourth wave delta variant has just started this month. 26 people tested positive in CM on 6 July where previously it was only 1 or 2 cases each day in CM. It seems the authorities aren't doing very well in the 14 days quarantine implementation.
