Franciscass,

Your observation is accurate for general health insurance but for the stand alone Covid cover I was talking about the premiums are not age age specific. Age 1 to 99 it's the same...

Other durations are available and from a quick glance the premiums seem roughly pro rata to duration so a 30 day policy from high risk countries is just under THB 5,000 and 60 days THB 8,600.

Thomasb,

This is another in a long line of proposals or recommendations from the tourism industry. They come up with a new one or rehashed previous one every month or so (remember the "Island...

The insurance requirement is for $100,000 of cover specifically for Covid. For "normal" health insurance policies as ever with Thai bureaucracy interpretation and enforcement seems to vary between...

Christian,

There's a bit more detail on https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/social-and-lifestyle/2040115/thai-immigration-where-do-things-stand-.

Have admit I overlooked the latest change because...

CTC,

If by "easing of travel restrictions" you mean an end to the quarantine requirement then not a chance in the next few months.

The only easing currently on the agenda is possibly reducing...

This round of tests was triggered by a 67 year-old lady who ran a stall at the seafood market going to hospital with symptoms, getting tested and proving positive. The Thai track and trace mechanisms...

For France / Belgium options would involve travelling via another country e. G. Amsterdam (KLM or Eva), Frankfurt (Lufthansa or allegedly Thai), Zurich (Swiss), Doha (Qatar), Dubai (Emirates), Abu...

All,

There are Provincial Administration Office (PAO) elections this Sunday, 20th December which probably means no alcohol sales.

All,

Be very wary of using the airport arrivals as a guide to which airlines you can travel to Thailand on. The flights may be arriving but that doesn't mean that they are carrying passengers. A...

Bunky,

The issue, from what I have gathered, is that a lot of health insurance policies may cover Covid19 as it is not excluded but unless the policy specifically states that Covid19 is covered to...

Banana Boi,

The list on the Royal Thai Embassy DC (https://thaiembdc.org/covid-19inthailand/) appears to be the same.

They also provide a list of repatriation flights and allowable flights...

Banana Boi,

I think things may be quietly changing. I happened on an article which said the list of eligible categories had expanded for the Royal Thai Embassies in UK and US. A quick dig on the...

I should have said "off plan". A lot of the empty newly built units that sensible people might live in (so not any of the Lumpini development 25-28 sqm boxes) are actually being resold by the...

Which at present means that someone outside Thailand can queue up for repatriation flights and pay for quarantine based on buying a new condo sight unseen for $300 k+. Of course the condo association...

Your awareness is flawed. The Japanese announced their surrender in August 1945 and the surrender agreement was signed on 2 September 1945. King Bhumibol became king when his brother died "in...

Friday is probably Wan Awk Phansa, a religious holiday marking the end of Buddhist Lent. I say probably because as often happens different countries use different dates and so until the formal order...

Pantomime season seems to have started early. Even once if it's shown to be safe and effective it would take many months to ramp up production and then for priorities such as healthcare workers to be...

So the visa amnesty ended 31 August but a "grace period" until last Saturday 26 September...

Goat,

Yup there's a lot of very frustrated wrinklies in the mid to higher northern latitudes who are looking at a cold dark (and possibly locked down) winter now that October's nearly here and...

Goat,

It's certainly not on the lists of those eligible which are on the Immigration, Ministry of Public Health or the (admittedly few) Thai Embassy websites and Facebook pages I've checked.

Firstly, as with everything announced in Thailand, it has to pass cabinet approval. Time will tell and the Tourism...

P,

Change their minds? Those in control haven't expressed their minds.

You might like to check Mr Phiphat's utterances over the last few months against the outcome. Maybe go back to May, June...

Turgid,

I'm not sure what's causing this feeling. If some part of it comes from other forums (Bangkok Post comments / or the loathsome TVisa) then be aware that quite a significant proportion of...

DazeUp,

You don't seem to understand what quarantine means in Thailand. It is not self-isolation or stay at home notice and be a good boy. I can think of various phrases to describe it. Solitary...
