Flying to/from Thailand (Covid Era)

What does LHG mean?

I doubt there is any favouritism to any nationalities at the moment, other than maybe Thai,
But the only options I’m aware of is one of the Sandbox schemes (Phuket and three more islands) where they have to stay for 7 days and then subject to negative PCR tests are then allowed to venture anywhere in Thailand. The only other option is the Alternative Quarantine route where you have to stay in a hotel for a minimum of 7 days - further details on what’s required here

Many thanks DB - much appreciated.

You’re very welcome my friend

The LHG is still in China after saying our farewells to mother-in-law who has unfortunately passed, and is now sorting out things, seeing family, CNY etc.....

She is thinking of visiting friends of ours in Thailand whilst she is in "the area", but we are being given masses of conflicting advice. She is a Chinese citizen/passport holder, but has an "Indefinite Leave to Remain Visa" for the UK - and has been given both jabs of the Pfizer vaccine here in the UK. Not entirely sure what effect this has on visiting Thailand, but Thai immigration do seem to be a little more favourable to Chinese tourists. Would she be liable to a hotel isolation?

Any advice would be very much appreciated

Personally, I'm hoping to visit later this year when all this cr@p has (fingers crossed) died down....

I hope this helps

I did give you that same information almost 14 hours earlier, but it was hidden by handdrummer's LHG question

Sorry BB didn't see and didn't want to duplicate your info, I only saw this earlier on another site hence I shared it

[Big Boy]

Not a problem, I was only joking with pharvey

Thank you.

In my case, it's the SGH. Her father was the BHG (Bald Headed General)

Test & Go to resume from Feb 1

The Test & Go programme, which allows fully vaccinated travellers to enter Thailand without the need to quarantine, will resume from next month.

On Tuesday Jan 20 Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) confirmed the resumption of Test & Go and the Thailand Pass system for both Thais and foreigners.

Registrations for Test & Go and Thailand Pass will start from Feb 1 for all nationalities.

However, some of the requirements for those entering under Test & Go have changed.

Arrivals will now need to undergo two RT-PCR tests during their first seven days in the country – the first upon arrival, the second on day five.

This means that arrivals will need to spend a night in an approved hotel on day one, as was the case previously, and also now on day five.

The stays on day one and five can be in different hotels but must be booked and paid for prior to arrival and submitted via the Thailand Pass system.

In addition, it was also announced that Koh Chang and parts of Chonburi, including Pattaya, will become Sandbox destinations.

Not sure why you need to have to stay in hotel for PCR second test. Thousands went through same procedure at HH hospital without any worries.

Not sure that's correct. I can't see anywhere that states a second night in a hotel

As far as I can see the rules are the same as before

That's what is said in today's press conference
