Dear group members :-)

I have a ticket to Phuket January 22 which say CPH-BKK-HKT.... BUT I'm in doubt if I can transit in BKK and leave to HKT a couple hours later... some say yes and others say NO

Any advice where to find the right informations ?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry concerns transit options in Bangkok when traveling to Phuket on a ticket from Copenhagen to Phuket with a layover in Bangkok. Current advice indicates you cannot transit through Bangkok to Phuket and must fly directly into Phuket, though rules may change by December.

The rules could change by then so it might be worth waiting until December before making any changes.

At this point in time you can’t transit Bangkok for a landing in Phuket. You have to fly an international flight into Phuket.

Thanks... I will wait a couple of days for reply from Thai Airway and if not possible then take 1 night at BKK and fly the next day...... don't understand how they can sell a ticket if isn't possible to transit 🤔

Thanks again for your reply �

A one night stay in Bangkok will allow you to travel anywhere in Thailand (local restrictions aside). I’ve not seen any posts where the new rules allow a transit via Bangkok is allowed. However they do change very regularly so it may be the case. I just can’t confirm.

from what I can see from this website that the information is “pre-Covid”. That’s the way it used to happen. As a cursory glance I can’t see a date it was written so I don’t know how factual it is. My understanding is that to use the Phuket “stay one night and be free” you need to book a stay at a SHA+ hotel and if negative you can then roam around Thailand. (Local travel restrictions may apply).

sorry I don’t have a link to confirm. I just know they’re the rules(today). Perhaps someone else can post an official link that says so.
