Looks like a hard time ahead for Thais.

Personally I'd rather pay a couple hundred bucks more and go straight to my chosen destination rather than take another flight. It's like deciding to pay $200 more for a direct flight than one with a stopover. I'll always pay for the direct flight. Even more so now to lower the chances of getting COVID.

Posts: 492If I fly into Bangkok and do my asq there do I need to worry about getting to Phuket? It's a couple hundred dollars more expensive to fly into Phuket. That is where I want to be for reasons other then mongering. I worry they will close off internal travel. Also it seems cheaper for asq in Phuket.
Thanks.

I would ask the bussers, where certain items where on the buffet (it's huge and many many stations), complement the cooks, and leave a small 20 baht tip as well. On the way out, use the main set of elevators, and walk by the hostess and "thank her." By making yourself familiar and kind, the next day, nobody would even question you about anything when they see you again.
Also, floor 21 has Club and Lounge access which if you stay there on any floor, your card will be able to reach that floor, but not be able enter the lounge glass doors unless it was programmed to. There are some nice chairs sitting outside the glass doors and near the elevators. Right next to the lounge entrance glass doors is the mens bathroom. This is a positional advantage. On a typical busy weekend PRE-COVID, I can just wait about 5 minutes (in the afternoon) and I will hear the elevator ding. Somebody is coming up to the lounge, which means free sandwiches and juice for somebody else. Yum! Quick dash in the bathroom. Wait and listen for the door to beep. Pretend like you are headed out and back into the lounge. Amazingly, they will also hold that door for you as well. And when you are enjoying your goodies, think of the Paw.
P.S. In Pattaya, use the Beach Road doors for LK Empress Breakfast buffet, not the one connected to the hotel itself in the middle. Just walk in and straight to the buffet line. Check in is way in the other side for hotel guests, but their mistake is they allow for walk in non-guests for 200 baht, plus have patio seating on Beach Road for everybody. How the heck they know who is who is anyone's guess. If you get caught, which I never have, say you are a guest and they will ask you to check in way on the other side at the other entrance. Then just walk to the bathroom in between to the left side, take a piss, wash your hands, and wait a minute and try all over again. Worse case scenario, say you want to see what's on the buffet before deciding. This one is as good as found money. Don't forget tip to make an impression of "no way he's scamming because he has money to tip, when most don't."
And for Avani (former Marriot), use the Dicey Reilly stairs to access the patio or the Beach Road entrance next to Benihhana (Avanai garden) or Royal Garden Mall entrance or even the front entrance because it's all open there. The mistake they both make is they allow patio dining. Just walk by, grab you a used plate that somebody left behind or hell, bring your own plate that looks the same and walk in and enjoy their 5 star buffet. Nobody will say anything to you when you are holding a plate. They think you already checked in.
Aya Botique has never checked anyone even if they stayed there or not. Many times I've stayed there, breakfast not included, and I would go down to eat breakfast. It's not a buffet, rather crappy, but it was free.
I know more places, but I would have to spend all night writing.
P. P. S: If you think I am lying, ask FL Hawk.

The real reason for the 14 day quarantine is they found a vaccinated person carrying the Indian double mutant virus on Day 6 of their 7 day quarantine.

The recent increases from 7 to 10 to 14 days quarantine is an indication borders may be reclosed.

Posts: 492I read one of the big reasons Thailand went back to 14 day quarantine is because of backroom deals with the hotels that do asq. Article said those hotels like the guaranteed money.
It seems crazy to me to do this to vaccinated travelers. If phuket could open with no quarantine maybe open it now with the seven day quarantine.
My plan for after the vaccine was either travel for work, Thailand or Brazil. Work is dependent on finding it and Brazil kind of scares me even with vaccine.
Where's a cheap good place I can go?
