TLDR : Answer Summary

To enter Thailand, you need to ensure you have the necessary visa, if required, and complete the ThailandPass application, which involves arranging paid accommodation, flights, transportation to your hotel, two PCR tests, and suitable insurance. Vaccinated travelers need to book accommodations in an approved hotel for the first five days, while unvaccinated travelers must stay in an approved hotel for ten nights. It is vital to ensure that all requirements are followed, including the PCR test prior to departure and verifying that insurance covers the entire stay, as officials will check these details upon arrival.

So do I understand it right that I need a rt pcr test before I leave cou try of origin and then those 2 more right? Does the accommodation have to be some specific type? Do they check if insurance covers you for whole period of stay?

They check everything. I've been in country for two months. Why are you trying to skip things and short end their requirements? Just follow what they want and enjoy your trip

wonderful thank you. Have u been there under these conditions? I just wonder how much they check for example the booked acom, insurance and booking of the 2 tests. When I went to Fiji, the requirements were similar but no one has actually ever asked me about none of those, only wanted to see an onwards ticket

No yet. I'd like to go, but I, 'm still waiting to see how is going with these new rules. I never used onward tickets, but people use to say is a good option. You can also check if your air ticket have penalty for modifying the date, some of them have free change now.

you should be prepared to be throughly checked at the thai airport upon arrival.

Regardless of what others tell you, you don’t won’t want to be the unlucky chap stuck at immigration with language and cultural differences and lacking experience dealing with thai authorities.

Can you let us know where you are coming from, who you are flying, and your current situation regarding vaccination/covid 19 infection etc? That will help to narrow down what information you are looking for :)

1. Get a visa (if required)

2. Apply for the ThailandPass. You’ll need paid accommodation, flights, transport to hotel, 2x PCR tests and insurance.

(1 and 2 can be in either order time wise).

If you’re vaccinated then your accommodation will need to be in an approved hotel for day 1 and day 5.

If you’re not vaccinated you need to stay for 10 nights in an approved hotel room.
