August 5, 20214 yr Is anyone trying to get back to the U.K at the moment ? Is it currently possible to go from C.M to U.K ? The Covid test 48-72 hours before flying seems to be a difficulty
August 5, 20214 yr Author 3 minutes ago, Bill97 said: only for some It would be a task to get a Covid test done in C.M , wait 24 hours for the results and then get to BKK for a flight within 24-48 hours. I suppose an option would be to get a pre flight Covid test done in BKK

August 5, 20214 yr HI Mac You need to check what flights there are from CNX first. I think most are cancelled and only a few local flights may be left (if any) So you most likely have to go to Bangkok. Also note that from 8th August you should be able to fly through Qatar and UAE. UK rules just changed so they go onto Amber. Then no hotel quarantine is required in Uk, but still the self isolation.

Just seen that it looks like Thailand will be staying on the Amber list , the latest UK Gov Website shows all the changes coming soon . Looks like my trip back to the UK is back on . https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england

Yes, I did ask at Arcade yesterday and there were at least two bus services going to BKK , the evening bus was the one that goes to Koh San Road . The KSR to CM bus used to be rather dodgy with numerous passenger thefts aboard . Access to the luggage was through a door in the "cockpit"

Uk is still amber group as of the review results published today but as mentioned should they go to red at the next UK review date a big if? the new price for the red listing country mandatory government hotel quarantine is to be 2,225 pounds from the 8th of August. At the moment requirements are covid test 72 hrs and pre booked paid for day 2 and day 8 tests filled out passenger locator form 48 hrs prior to flying and 10 day quarantine at your own choice of venue, home or hotels etc. All the latest info is on the Uk government website.

I suppose an option would be to get a pre flight Covid test done in BKK If you are struggling in CM it would be best to go to BKK. You can get a test done at Medconsult early doors and the result by email the same day. I think there is an Emirates flight leaves about 1am.

That is providing the person is not fully vaccinated, if that is the case then no quarantine if fully vaxed more than two weeks from departure from Thailand with AZ. Even with quarantine, there is the Test and release option at your own expense. However, there is then the question of sandbox on return, ( if it's still running,) or a stay in a designated Bangkok ASQ. Whichever way you look at it, an expensive trip when you add it all up. I have resigned myself that my trip this year will not be happening.

It didn't list the countries but it did list the vaccines and AZ was on the list. There was a small ' argument ' about some Astra Zenica of a certain batch that had been produced in India but that didn't apply to mine. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-to-england-from-another-country-during-coronavirus-covid-19
