DelMalam Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi guys. I am new to the forum, but looking for some advice. There are 6 of us looking to visit Thailand around the Middle of October 2021. We are flying from the USA. All 6 have been fully vaccinated for Covid 19. We want to spend a week in Bangkok and a week in Phuket. I know Phuket will be wide open by then, but will we have to quarantine in Bangkok at all by then? Your advise is greatly appreciated.

Frosty Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Are you flying directly into Phuket, or arriving in Bangkok and then taking a flight to Phuket? Also, I don't think we know if arrival means unlimited access to Phuket, or only specified tourist areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelMalam Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi The flights from the USA all fly into BKK airport. From there we can get an internal flight down to Phuket if needed. Ideally though, we would love to spend the 1st week in Bangkok... and then fly down to Phuket for the 2nd week. I appreciate you taking the time to message back, Frosty!

hbit Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I wish we could offer you better advice, but the truth is that nobody knows. The most recent outbreak has made the situation even less clear. For example, Phuket opening for vaccinated tourists will only happen if they can vaccinate 70% of island residents which seems unlikely. Try posting this topic on PA. There are a lot of bar owners on that forum who might have better information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Everything was looking good in LOS in March '21, but as April '21 roared around it started to look dicey. There's no firm answers on whether October '21 will be worth it at this point. Like the weather, the predictions get clearer the closer you are to the forecast date. And, we still don't know if Phuket means fully open over the island, or just in certain tourist venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electroxin2 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I was seriously considering visiting Bangkok in Nov/Dec as a newbie, but based on what i've seen online about COVID restrictions... it's just too early :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbkvisitor Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 yes i agree. ... far to early ... I have friends in Udon and Bangkok and both tell me just stay away until early next year if all goes well. I'm just sitting here waiting waiting waiting .... I want everything to open 100% safe today ....BUT ... lets get real ... it is not going to open and be back to normal anytime soon. Best we just hope for the best but expect the worst.
