Hey, has anyone recently received a covid extension from Koh Phangan immigration? We have already had one, and looking to apply for our second, before we fly home in May. 

We know we need to do it before 25th March. 

But just wanted to hear how “generous” Koh Phangan is with their covid extensions? Any tips?! 

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

they even dated in from the date our current visa expires, instead of the actual day we applied. It’s excellent there!

Is it just me, or are these COVID "extensions" just ridiculous.

Joseph Romoser. When you consider the correct title is "Unable to travel due to covid" extension, they are totally ridiculous. There's not one person (medical reasons excepted) who cannot travel. They are being wound back and the March 25 one is probably the last, but I'd say Thai Immigration wanted to squeeze as much money as possible from the visitors!
