banglay Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hello All After 12 years celebrating the countdown to the New Year in Pattaya . I now feel it would be a good time for a change of scenery .. I am leaning toward either Koh Chang or Hua Hin (Both within a short'ish acceptable drive for me ) Any recommendation where to go and Why? or any other destinations and again why! (max 5 hrs drive) Hopefully fingers crossed by then some of the restriction will have been either relaxed or at best locally ignored. Stay safe and have a good one ????

MrMilk Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) You have to do a ATK test before entering the ferry and hotel at Koh Chang. Just so you have that in the back of your mind before deciding where to go Edited November 28, 2021 by MrMilk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is. It is possible for domestic tourists to come to the island. The only restriction is that visitors must have either proof of vaccination or a negative PCR coronavirus test, issued within the previous 72 hours. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too had plans about a trip to KC and aware of the "official" requirements but after reading the tread I linked you I got second thoughts. I am doubled jabbed but I choose to avoid any place that might involve testing because I am terrified about the consequences of a positive test. Sad but true 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post camble Posted November 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2021 I’m on Koh Chang now, weather is beautiful and prices still low. I was asked to show my vaccination certificate before boarding the ferry, I haven’t been tested this year. Hua Hin is boring, I only go for the jazz festival. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true There is NO TESTING if double jabbed ! don't believe the fear mongers on here. I live on Koh Chang and my wife is a Health Volunteer. Just have your Vaccination certificate on hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyril sneer Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I would say Koh Chang half the tourist areas don't look as if covid has affected it at all. nice beaches and a tropical feel to it Hua Hin is just a city that happens to be next to the sea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
