Hey guys,

I am going to Thailand as soon as all my documents are in order. I have a question regarding the time after the ASQ.

Are you free to travel through Thailand without having to quarantine again?

Can I do ASQ in Bangkok and then go to Phuket straight after? How will I travel here? (I do not know if transportation is a problem)

Are things like surfing and diving still allowed?

I hope you guys can help me! It would be appreciated :)

Warm regards
Answer summary
After your Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) in Bangkok, you should be able to travel to Phuket without having to quarantine again. It's recommended to check the latest travel regulations as they may change due to COVID-19. Transportation options from Bangkok to Phuket include planes and buses, with flying being the more convenient choice. As for activities, diving is currently allowed and considered excellent, while surfing is not recommended right now due to low conditions, although the surfing season is expected to improve around May.

Still surfing every Day on memories beach in Khao Lak. Pretty gentle at the moment but lots of locals hanging out. Diving is superb now. very few Liveaboards going out. Probably the best time to go to the Surin and Similan Islands in the last 20 yeas.

I did the Speed boat options to Similan. I wouldn't recommend it. Liveaboards is the way I would go, if ever I do it again.

Diving is allowed, however Thailand isn’t known for its surfing, and I think the only place with decent surfing is Rayong. If this is your first time in Thailand, you’ll be very disappointed in the surfing scene here.

Surfing kinda suck right now. I am told June(ish) the surf is much better. Diving is good now. I am told until about mid-late may. Phuket seems to have Surf season and Dive season and they're opposite times of the year. To be honest I dont have that much experience, meaning I have gone and was told what I have told you. I intend to go Phuket June(ish) to see their idea of good surf.

The beach to surf is Kata. It is currently dead - all the beach side business are closed. I like it but it's not good for the local people.

Travel to from BKK to Phuket - bus or Plane. I recommend the Plane.

From what I understand, currently there is no hassle going from BKK to Phuket. Restrictions depend on the Covid situation. Thailand has managed Covid extremely well - but there have been some outbreaks. I can't promise you what will be happening when you arrive.

PM if you want a dive shop reference.

previously I said Karon was the Beach to surf. I misspoke the beach for surf is Kata. They are neighboring beaches but one is active with people (Kata) while the other is not (Karon).
