RafPinto Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Every Youtuber now thinks to make a video about Koh Chang. It is getting boring to see the same stuff over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarteso Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I was been living in Koh Chang 10 years ago. Illegals Cambodians working at Resorts. A nice and quiet place until Turism exploded including me…. And Chineses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before Covid 3 years ago high season looked more like a small village than an explosion of tourism. Went about 6 months ago and was just sad. Look up both ends of the beach for 3 kilometers and not see a soul most times. So many businesses have shut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Anyone in Koh Chang. What's the latest on testing. Are ATK or PCR tests required to get on the island or at hotels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to phone my favourite hotel there (Erawan) and got a muddled recorded message telling me to dial some extension. I might stick to Pattaya after all.

Dan747 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Just left there two days ago. Seems to be more Thai Tourists there than when we visited in April last year. I was told to have my Thailand pass and Covid-19 records available on checkin-On checkin at the Coconut Beach Resort they never asked for anything-Go Figure. "Happy Travels."

If it is and infection has been reported they may be checking up on vaccination status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i test positive is it a 2 week holiday in the local isolation hospital and a bill for 200k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i test positive is it a 2 week holiday in the local isolation hospital and a bill for 200k? If there had been any testing when I went at New Year I would have said so. Koh Chang had special status and was exempt from the testing taking place elsewhere at the time and I haven't heard of that having been changed. I know some people had to be tested to go back to where they came from, but that didn't apply to me coming from Chonburi. Do not get caught up in the exaggerated rhetoric over forced hospitalisation. My niece is a free lance doctor and at the moment the bulk of her work is covid patients, sees about couple of hundred nearly every day as outpatients. One day last week it was just under 350, bit of a bonus as she gets paid per patient, a long day though. Problem on here is foreigners think they are entitled to "special" treatment.

JackGats Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 All restaurants on Klong Prao Beach closed, eating only in resorts. Some restaurants up and running on White Sand Beach. If you want to come now be warned: POWER CUTS ! No power, no air-con. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
