Flying to/from Thailand (Covid Era)
Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates
PCR result was negative. Got it through the hotel by Line in my room at 2.30pm. negative and a good turn around time.
Decided not to spend the night in BKK so am now supping a cold Chang in HH.
Much was made of the pink piece of health paper I got at Swampy. Joelle refers to it above.
Everyone wanted to see it. The final desk at the health stop, Imm, the hotel rep sorting out my taxi to the hotel, the PCR hospital and the hotel itself. Don't lose it!!
The hotel insisted I got the Mor Chan'a app and they did that for me. Ok, I suppose, especially as I need another PCR test in 5-6 days and I suppose the whole thing is coordinated through the app.
As far as getting in here is concerned for those lucky enough to have their Thai Passes honoured, it's not too much hassle as long as you resign yourself to extra stuff.

Glad all went well. As for the Mor Channa app on your phone, I got it installed on mine but never received anything on it regarding PCR tests, so it’ll interesting to see what you get.lomuamart wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 7:02 pm PCR result was negative.

Currently sitting at Dubai waiting for my flight. I would agree that anyone traveling to print your docs. Check in at NY was straight forward as I just handed her the binder of docs for 4 people. Only issue is family of 8 on flight to Dubai constantly not wearing masks despite being told too. My 10 year olds can follow rules shame that some adults and teenagers. Hopefully we will get to Bangkok and through to the hotel in a quick manner and be realeased in time for new year.

As an anecdote, I noticed that my re-entry permit didn't have a number on it. That was 2 hours before touch down as I was filling in the entry/departure card on the plane.
I've never seen Imm so cheerful and other than a very short delay whilst it was confirmed that it was wasn't a technical red card, I was breezed through.
If only things could be like that all the time.

At the airport I didn't notice until later that my departure card was missing from my passport. I suspect that will be a pain in the ass when I go to immigration next.

No, you will get a new card from immigration. It happened to me some years ago.

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates
Hi guys,
At the airport hotel now waiting for our test results, will not mention hotel, but could do better.
Anyway have registered on the Morchana app and I presume the notification of result will come through on the app, correct? GN

Saw this in HH Hospital FB page today. It may be relevant for those people coming back from abroad (or maybe not).

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates
My daughter is looking to travel to the US in the very near future. From what I can gather, all she needs to enter the US is proof of vaccination (not a covid passport) and a negative test before flying.
Can someone advise me what she needs to get out of Thailand? I get more and more confused with the various websites.

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates
I'm planning on heading to the states Feb 2. In looking the only requirement I see is as you said, proof of vaccination and a negative test. The only difficulty I see is the covid test has to be one day before flying. They stressed one day, not 24 hours. I leave 8:30 am and was planning on heading up from here 2:30-3:00 am so need a quick turnaround on the test. There is a testing facility at swampy that says results in 90 minutes but I can't find the hours.HHTel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 3:54 pm My daughter is looking to travel to the US in the very near future.

If you find out more please share, I'll do the same, thanks!

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates
A lot of Airlines require a negative PCR test, but when I flew to the UK (appreciate US could be different) the test could be done up to 3 days before departure - there was no other requirement for leaving Thailand.
