Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

If Thailand throws it's doors open and Cambodia are still playing silly buggers, I can feel a trip to Pattaya coming on in early July. Once Cambodia relaxes it's entry rules you are then only a one hour hop to home.

A month in Pattaya is looking pretty good right now...

Unless you are currently in Thailand, I think it's very unlikely that you will be able to travel to Pattaya in July - as a tourist. I might be wrong, but that will probably take quite a bit longer. It might also depend on the COVID-19 situation in the country you're traveling from, your passport country, or both.

my take, dont expect tourists to be traveling to Thailand till August. Thye first need bring all the thai's home
than those holding Non O visa/extensions ( married,retired)
ONLY question than is will they still require $100,000 insurance, Covid free certificate and 14 day quarantine

But Sri Lanka is not that far from Cambodia an its a really beautiful place.

I'm stuck in Bangkok, at the moment. But will take the bullet train/bus/tuktuk to Pattaya, if . . .

There are two scenarios in Thailand:

1. Bars and restaurants go full tilt on June 15.

2. Bars and restaurants go full tilt the week of June 29.

There was a Bangkok Post story a few days ago saying everything will reopen July 1. Well, the decision will come this week.

OK, be calm. Don't crap your pants! :stir:

Largely useless story just out in Pattaya Mail, except for top couple of paragraphs:

Headline: Thailand ‘State of Emergency’ may be extended
BANGKOK – The state of emergency may be extended while schools and airports will reopen and there will be long holidays next month, according to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.

“It is possible to extend the imposition of the emergency decree. It is being considered. The choice is to either extend or end it. However, measures will be reduced. For example, the curfew will be lifted and crowd gathering will be allowed. The emergency decree may remain in effect for the sake of swift solutions,” Mr Wissanu said.
