She get's an antigen test at BKK hospital on Thursday morning. Results with certificate guaranteed in 2 hours. That's all that's needed states side apart from vaccination record.

Update to the above. My daughter went to BKK Hospital this morning hoping to get her '2 hour test'. "Sorry, we don't start testing until 2pm!"

Initial panic then off to San Paolo. Tested immediately. Result in 45 mins (with certificate). Price: 500 baht.

Are you sure that’s for a PCR test?

She flies to Tokyo after midnight tonight. She's in business class all the way so she'll probably enjoy the flight.

Dropped her off at the VIP airport bus. Not sure how long the company can sustain this service. The bus left this afternoon with 2 passengers!

Sounds like my flight in 2 weeks. Japan Air, from my experience, does business class, and first class, very well.

That's probably because if you try to book online, it say's N/A. Hence my earlier question about whether she caught the mini bus or the 23 seater. I am in Bkk now and would have happily caught the bus.

It was definitely the 23 seater. With just a couple of 300 baht fares, they're obviously losing money.

Number of Passenger(s): 1
Time Vehicle Fare Remark
10:00 Coach (23)
(Seat Selection Available) 294 THB N/A
16:00 Coach (23)
(Seat Selection Available) 294 THB N/A

Still the same today. This is the result for this coming Monday. This was once a regular journey for me and I always booked online. If it say's N/A, then that to me, means there is no bus running.

However, I tried to go beyond this stage just now and much to my surprise it allowed me to and I could have booked. Maybe I should have done that before, or maybe they should fix their website?

Whatever, it seems to be costing them. I drove.

I didn’t realise the bus service had resumed? Hopefully it refers to the 25 seater from the Roong company or Bell.I checked a few weeks ago,nothing

Roong coaches

Post by maccastime »

Afternoon lads was wondering if any kind members here have any news on the Airport coach run by Roong for trips from airport to HH etc. used them many times great service but. Can’t book on their site I guess the situation has harmed them. Not keen on a mini van, taxi expensive. Any news lads? Many thanks

Running 3 times a day according to their website, have you tried booking using the link from Sateeb above? I started a dummy booking and it showed 3 time options, increased recently from 2.
