Thailand Pass and airplane ticket transit country.

[beeyonder]

Good evening everyone. I wanted to do my thailand pass, I am from Paris.

I wanted to go to Phuket and I wanted to know if it was possible to make a transit in any country or my flight must be direct to Phuket ?

 

Thanks everyone. ????

I don't think it matters where you transit so long as you arrive Phuket by international flight.

 

There's no mention on the TP website about transitting anywhere.

Thanks man. These last two years of illogicality make me question myself about absolutely everything.

 

Thank you to take the time to answer to me.

Flight does not need to be direct. I flew to Phuket last week from London, via Abu Dhabi.

You can transit at another country.

Many folk have done that.

If you provide more details of carrier etc then perhaps others have done similar route and can post first hand experience.

Good luck with family reunion.

You can also now transit in BKK as long as you have a through booking to HKT on one of the "sealed route" flights.

I don't see a problem. Some flights are direct to Phuket and others transit at Bangkok. Choose your flight based on what you want and what you can get.  JUST GET HERE ASAP and start your life again.

Well noted.

[beeyonder]

Thanks again all. I will return to Thailand as soon as possible.

I've flown into Phuket three times (2 Sandbox, 1 Test and Go). It will be a lot more convenient to fly into Phuket than to land in BKK wait around for one of the two BKK/PHT Bangkok Airways sealed routes.

 

I prefer the Middle Eastern routes via Doha on Qatar, Abu Dhabi on Etihad or Dubai on Emirates.

Do you know if that is valid flying from any country? I'm in the same case and will fly from Spain.

Thanks for any help.

Yes

I'm worried because in the tailand embassy of Madrid's web appears this:

 

2. Itinerary of flights from Spain to Thailand (Travellers can transit at an airport outside Thailand before arriving at an international airport in Thailand. Domestic transit between airports in Thailand is not allowed.) 

 

So I'm confused...

[internationalism]

Outdated. 
changed from around 23.01.22

Check with your airline and website for transit airport. Transit rules may vary.

Hong Kong and Taipei are currently closed for transit from international flights.

Others may be too

That is actually correct when it refers to transiting to a domestic flight. It can only be done if you clear immigration and get on a flight which cannot be done.

There are special flights from BKK that leave from the international arrival area of the airport to Samui and Phuket.
