Dear readers,

As my partner is going back to Thailand at the end of December, I would like to know what is coming up. Some people say you always have to quarantine in Bangkok, while my partner has a ticket to Krabi.

I would also like to have more clarity about the costs of the quarantine. Are cheap Thai hotels available? Does the entire quarantine have to be paid for yourself, even if there appears to be no money?

Please also comments from people with experience with returning to Thailand.

Thank you for your comments.

Regards,

Martin

    Dear Martin,

    At the moment, traveling back to Thailand can only be arranged through the embassy in The Hague.
    Contact them and you will receive an email with the steps to take.
    Your girlfriend will be placed on a repatriation list and you will be told which flight she will be placed on. (approximately 2 weeks before departure)
    At the moment they only fly to Bangkok and everyone is met at the airport and screened for the correct papers. She is taken to a hotel for quarantine and as a Thai there are no costs involved.
    Your ticket will be rebooked via Thai Travel to the designated date (cost €15)
    You need a fit to fly document that is issued by Medimare. You will receive the email address from that. (cost €60)

    Report her to the embassy on time because I understand there is a waiting period.

    Success with it.

    Groet
    Ferdinand

    My partner has just landed in Bangkok and is now on his way to, mandatory, stay at the Hotel Grace in Bangkok.
    Costs are paid by the government, at least for now.
    After 14 days she can go and stand in Thailand.
    The return trip was completely arranged by the Thai embassy, ​​of course we received the bill for the flight. That was pretty normal. (Euro 698,-) and was provided by Thai Travel.

    Info for Thais on website Thai embassy: https://hague.thaiembassy.org/th/content/register-for-sq-november-2020 (dates in December will undoubtedly follow in time)

    My partner is going to Thailand November 11 (no repatriation flight) and will be back March 2, 2021.
    First a flight with Qatar, then a hotel booked for 32.000 bath, all of which was sent to the Embassy and then received a Certificate of Entry.
    She must submit a form 72 hours before arriving in Bangkok that she has been tested and no Corona, also has an FtF statement with her, a total of 175 euros
    She had to pay everything herself, all together 1.600 euros

      A question, did your partner receive that Certificate of Entry directly at the embassy after approval of her documents and how is that with non-Thai.
      I read somewhere that only after 2 weeks after handing over the documents, the Embassy gives the CoE approval by telephone when it comes to foreigners.
      Does the Embassy still have to request approval from Bangkok in that case?

    Dear Martin,

    I assume you are gay Thai, in this case the quarantine will be arranged for free for two weeks.
    For foreigners you have a list of hotels to choose from, also for the Thai (will be appropriate
    because it does not have to be paid).

    I understand from a good friend in Nongkhai that as a foreigner (Farang) you have about 65000k
    lost for two weeks in quarantine.

    Yours faithfully,

    Erwin
