@Laurent ********
All parts of Thailand (except Phuket) is red. If a person spent the night in a red zone, then you are traveling from the red zone. Laurent *********

I know you're not looking to fly but I did just that yesterday and it was so straightforward. 39 minute flight, out of Samui airport within like, 10 minutes of landing. Mostly the delay was because the baggage conveyor belt got jammed.

did you need a fit to fly or anything? How was it when you landed? Any restrictions or can you just go on your way? Thanks by the wayMichael *********

I just needed the free certificate provided by hotel that I had completed my stay with all my negative tests, (not the 700thb one). They looked at that at check in, and they also gave me a QR Code that I had to scan that takes you to a health form you need to complete before arrival. Filling out that form generates another QR code that they scan.Boarded off the plane, they scan your QR code after you get off the tarmac, then you're free to get your bags and leave.

Did you enter on the sandbox scheme, and if you, are you finished?
