Has anyone travelled from Bangkok to Koh Samui? Was trying to find more information about this but it’s gotten me extremely confused. 

1) Can I fly from BKK to Samui?

2) I’m on the covid extension (from visa exempt) which I extended in BKK. Will I be able to extend it in Samui too? My extension expires end of Aug. 

3) I’m not vaccinated yet and if I’m not wrong, I will need to do a quarantine. Is this the same as the BKK quarantine where I will need to quarantine in an ALQ hotel?

Thanks in advance!

Answer summary

Traveling from Bangkok to Koh Samui is possible, but there are specific conditions. Flights to Samui are limited due to the Samui+ program. You can extend your COVID extension visa in Samui if you have registered your location with a TM30. For entry into Samui, being vaccinated and providing a PCR test is generally required, and unvaccinated travelers may face quarantine, similar to requirements in Bangkok.

Lots of incorrect information here. You don't need to be on a long term visa or be old or sick to get the vaccine. I'm 33 with no health conditions and on a covid extension and I was vaccinated here with AstraZeneca.

oh how did you register for the vaccination? Didn’t you have to select the type of visa you have?

1) no, there are no flights to Samui except for people flying into the country and going there for the Samui+ program.

2) if you have a TM30 for your location in Samui you can use the Samui immigration office.

3) I'm not sure what the most recent entry restrictions are for Samui
