All you need is your passport to enter. You will be asked to show your boarding pass and passport at the immigration desk. Thailand is now 100% open!

Thanks Allover!

The link you referenced is not to an official governmental website, and is out of date. The entry requirements changed beginning on October 1st.

It states right at the top of the website: "This website is managed by Siam Legal International. A law firm in Thailand"..

Thanks for the clarification. Does this mean the unvaxxed no longer need to test negative prior to arriving in Thailand?

Unvaccinated travelers (including children traveling with unvaccinated parents) will need to complete an RT-PCR or Professional Antigen Test (Pro-ATK) 72 hours before departing for Thailand. Proof does not need to be uploaded before traveling.

Can somebody please clarify what the requirements are for entering Thailand now? Post Oct 1 do you need to purchase or complete anything special for arrival for a short trip (less than two weeks)?

It feels like Thailand is open for tourists but I feel like I am missing something. Do we still have to buy special insurance or can we bring our own existing insurance.

Thank you to anyone who posts a reply. I may try a quick trip but confused about the reqirements.

I'm planning a trip to BKK and hear that weed is now legal,

You just walk outside and buy it. It is everywhere. I am sure some ladies smoke but that is not saying anything for the ones you may end up with.

[MichaelSamuel]

Same for me. Only ever traveled with 3 or 4 girls but moment we had to make plans they sent me their ID. With thai names would never book anything without seeing a picture of the official ID.

Yes that is really weird. Whenever I am traveling with a chick I tell her to send me a picture of her ID. You do not want to get the name wrong on the ticket. And many Airbnb ask for a copy of the IDs of the people staying before you arrive. I have so many IDs from chicks that I have made a folder for them in my phone picture gallery for quick and easy reference.

Hello all! I'm planning a trip to BKK and hear that weed is now legal, but with some vague language about foreigners participating. Would anyone have insight into this? Do any of the ladies smoke? I hear some of the clubs allow smoking inside, but what about the street and hotel balconies and such? Stoned sex is awesome. I appreciate any tips. Thanks!

[Rodwint2]

Not sure if this is the right place for my question but.

I'm travelling to Bangkok early December and one of the items on my To-Do List is to have a suit tailor made.

I've looked through YouTube for ideas but I'm also open to suggestions or recommendation of the more.

Seasoned BKK veterans.

Thank you!

I have been going there since 1989. The owner, Jerry, has done about 10 suits for me and a lot of shirts and pants.

Her not giving identification to you is a red flag for travel, especially international travel. I get copies of real ID for just a quick domestic Thailand flight and then I pass that information to a trusted friend in case I disappear. Things like airline refunds and the possibility of COVID are secondary to not knowing who is traveling with you. When I've asked for a Thai girl's ID, a couple minutes later a picture of her ID has always appeared in my Line.

Really great points.

If a girl really wanted to travel with you, I doubt they'd mind sending you a photo copy of their ID or at least the relevant personal information which is the most basics such as name, age, and passport number.

But yes, the more I think about it the more I am glad this didn't go through. Something about this whole thing seemed so off.

After much discussion back and forth, I have decided not to go on the trip with this lady.
...
I didn't feel comfortable asking her but I asked her if she wanted to give me the relevant information for the ticket, and I also told her not a problem if she didn't want to do that. She declined, and that was that. I just said OK and never responded back, with the understanding that the trip was off.

I am a satisfied customer of Rajawongse Tailors:

https://dress-for-success.com/

The location is super convenient, just steps from the Nana BTS station. Bosses Jesse and Victor speak English well and their knowledge of all matters sartorial is nonpareil. They accepted payment in USA Dollars via my personal check drawn on an American bank, and shipped the clothes via Fedex to my office. The suits and shirts they made for me were high quality garments that have lasted over a decade and still look sharp. One thing I did not expect was having to go back to their shop several times for fittings. But was always a pleasant experience in a comfortable place, so I didn't mind. And I must say the clothes fit perfectly.

After much discussion back and forth, I have decided not to go on the trip with this lady.

Everything was going well up to the point I was looking into buying plane tickets. I inquired of several travel agencies in Pattaya and asked about pricing, but most importantly, the refund policy should this lady test positive before her flight. She only has the Sino vaccines which is not accepted where I wanted to go. The few agencies I go ahold of told me there was no refund policy in those situations.

The lady had asked me previously if I wanted her to look for a ticket on her own, but I didn't feel comfortable doing that. My only other option was to book a flight online for her under my name which is allowed and at least I know I could be refunded if she happened to test hot. However, this would require her giving me very private information including her real name and the like. I didn't feel comfortable asking her but I asked her if she wanted to give me the relevant information for the ticket, and I also told her not a problem if she didn't want to do that. She declined, and that was that. I just said OK and never responded back, with the understanding that the trip was off. I have known her for a while but it's funny I never really knew her private information but her nickname. It's not like I ever wanted a relationship with her but she was fun, spoke good English, and was good company.

Now onto the next adventure!
