Thread: Thailand quarantine and entry conditions

Thanks all good points.

We would be flying from Washington DC and as you both said there are better choices arriving at BKK now.

Before there was a direct flight from Seoul to Chiang Mai but that's all over now sadly. That would have been convenient as our house in in Tak. If we come I'll stick with Bangkok as it is all set up for everything.

thanks

We will be flying from Miami,
Check out Quatar airlines, on CeapOair , the were having the best attinuaty (23: 50 hr flight time)

IMO after being on the road for over 24 hours, you will be trashed and jetlagged for a couple of days anyway. That only leaves you with 5 days, and then you would want to go home anyway. Plenty of time for going places after that , when you don't need to quarantine.

Booking

I like to use CheapOair because it also gives you alternate dates or near by airports to find the best price or duration. It is a very useful function when your dates are flexible.
So for May 4th it found me the following flight with a 3 hour layover in Doha , For a flight from east coast of the US I try to get a flight with at least a couple of hours layover, I gives me a chance to stretch my legs, and I don't have to run like crazy to make my connection.

I'm guessing the ol' chinkies have been whinging again as the useless Sinopharm vaccine has been added to the list.

^ 67 hours? Fuck that.

Doha airport has been expanded fairly recently and is pretty good.

Limited food options, though.

Do you know what "+2 days" means on a flight booking/ticket?

Limited drink options too in Ramadhan. I nearly got into trouble there for drinking half a bottle of vodka on a long layover in the smoking lounge. They kept bringing me tonic when I asked, took them a while to cotton on....

In this case it means IF his first flight is arriving too late for him to catch his connection flight then there will be another one 2 days later..

That 67 hours business is confusing. I guess the +2 days must be correct, you leave Miami in the night of Day #1, arrive in the Middle East the next day, Day #2, then layover, then fly overnight again to arrive in BKK in the morning of Day #3.

I have flown into CNX direct from Macau, although Macau is not exactly an international hub and won't help anyone here even if the route is still operating. The return flight was crammed with low-rent Chinese tour groups doing a circuit, people struggling to get oversized bags out of the overhead lockers while we were still moving on the runway after touchdown. Urgh.

Went through there Feb 13. Bought a lounge pass on the Qatar Airways site and it was good. Open bar. Good buffet. Good coffee. Fast WiFi. No lie had the whole back end of the plane to myself, laid out in the center 5 seats in economy from BKK.

No restaurants open to speak of, but all the duty free shit was open. Bought 2 lottery tickets for a Ferrari while I was there and didn’t win, unfortunately.

People with covid paranoia/hysterics/bossiness might want to take some Xanax before they go. Nobody was really masking at all, even on the plane.

Soft drinks only in Ramadhan, although I have hinted at the trick to get round it.

Brother you don't know the half of it. LOL

You all need to excuse my typing. I used to speed type , but as I get older me hands drift , not to mention my brain and mind, so I either look at the keyboard, and miss what I type in the screen, or look at the screen , type nonsense then have to go back and correct half the words. The spell check gives me three options, but they are too small to see, so it is Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe. And if I wear reading glasses the computer screen is too far to see . Either way I am screwed.
Anyway, I don't like to wear reading glasses , because once you start , it is down hill from there.
So from now on , with every post I make I will provide a deciphering Key LOL

Very funny

Any idea about this? Any problems doing a self-transfer (going through immigration, collect bags, and go straight upstairs to check into my Malaysia Airlines flight) ? I'm not hanging about Thailand, just transiting through Suvarnabhumi. I really don't want to deal with CoE, insurance, or anything else.

Once you've gone through immigration you are a visitor to Thailand.

Yeah, I get that part. I just am hoping there won't be a whole bunch of extra hoops to jump through seeing as how I'm not really even leaving the airport.
