I had the same problem. Try this. 1. Delete pic 2. Rotate pic more than 360 degrees on your device. 3. Repost. Seems to work for me...

I guess because the rules say night clubs, bars, karaoke etc are to remain closed. If boys were to be seen in underwear it could hardly be classed as a “restaurant”.

The 1 a.m. wanking show was no more last time I visited. It used to be an excellent diversion on the way home!

Not only that, but they have to provide transport to Pattaya which would cost you 1500 baht (£35) for an equivalent taxi!

My reply on the other board: QUOTE=Oliver2;284420]it seems odd to have been taking bookings up to Wednesday and then making a decision today. What has changed in the past few days? Have I missed something? Has the prognosis concerning Covid's spread changed? [/QUOTE] My bet is that it has nothing to do with any variations of Covid. About now most people will have booked their Xmas and New Year holidays. Eva would have looked at the figures and probably decided it was uneconomical to operate these flights. Looking at recent figures published for flights and passenger arrivals at Savanabhumi it seems load factors are very low indeed. Thai procrastination, plus their horrendous bureaucracy, has probably put many off going to Thailand. They are going to learn to regret it.

Did Sansuk reopen on 1 November as per the previous post??

Part of the problem is they sometimes won’t allow you to change seats so that there is nobody next to you. I assume this is because their records would be incorrect. Catch 22!

I have just completed my Thai Pass application. As a precaution I printed all documents to take with me anyway. When it came to downloading them it gave the option of taking a photo which I thought would be easier than the other options. So I photographed everything as I went through the form and Bingo, it accepted the lot. No problem about PDF’s! At the end I hit submit and got an instant on screen acknowledgement. Then literally in seconds I got my Thai Pass followed seconds later by another email saying it had been received and could take seven days!! Obviously no humans are checking The applications. It must all be done automatically.

I can’t get past the first page...agreeing terms. Using an iPad. No good?

I put in for a quote as a 73 year old: $610. That is approx 21500 baht. I bought an AXA policy for 7600 baht. And this company does not cover cancellation costs for non US citizens. For over 74 the price is the same.

I asked the same question on a dedicated Facebook website. I was told that the paragraph relating to charter flights was an error. I think something has got lost in the translation.

I would sincerely hope that one could go straight to Pattaya and get the test done there. Pattaya Hotels currently offer the ASQ so I would hope it’s not a problem. Having to go to BKK for the test would mean arriving in Pattaya at least two days later than planned.

Oh God Noooo...pleaseee.

If you are prepared take a flight with an intermediate stop there are plenty of good flights on offer. You do not have to go via the Middle East either! Swiss is a very good example. Daily Direct London to Bangkok flights, as before , will not be seen for some time!

If this is a “tourism fee” then I assume those of us travelling to Thailand, who are not tourists, will be exempt?! That would include businessmen, students, expats, people on non immigrant visas (retirees) etc etc. The list is endless. There are in excess of 40 types of visas issued by Thailand. Perhaps only those arriving with “tourist” visas will be charged!

At the moment Thailand needs ALL the tourists it can muster. Not just the rich

The whole thing (the application form and the 44, YES 44, pages of instructions) is written in appalling Thenglish...

The first room they advertise is the Horizon Room at the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok, at 4500 Bt. So I went direct to the Banyan website and there it is at 2500 Bt. Site goes straight to the Recycle Bin

If that is the case you can forget it. How many people are going to travel thousands of miles for Christmas and the New Year only to find all entertainment closed???

Not in my case. Being from the UK a trip to Thailand is for two purposes. First is for a holiday and second, and maybe more important, is to avoid the dreadful UK winter which runs from November until March. So if Thailand is a non starter in November then I need somewhere else warm to go in November!

Hope it takes off and everything is open when you arrive! Personally I will wait until much nearer the time to make sure enough is open to make the effort worthwhile.

Agree with z909. The requirements are in fact much easier than last year as there is no “solitary” required. The main hurdle. I have also read that visitors are allowed whilst in the Sandpit too...which does seem strange! Anyway, the main requirement, as has been said many times, is that everything needs to be “ops normal” before most tourists will travel.

I must have missed something, I thought z909 also intends to travel in November/December PROVIDED things are open.

Sounds good. Live with it...which is what some countries are beginning to realise. However, if they are to reopen successfully they must not go all “Thai” over the entry requirements and over what is allowed to open. It is actually quite simple!
