Hey,

My mother in law currently needs to get out to Thailand to see my brother in law who has had a bad accident and is currently in hospital and has been for a week.

We are flying from the UK.

Can you please advise what we need to get out there?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

To travel to Thailand from the UK for a family emergency, your mother-in-law needs to apply for the Thai Pass online. UK citizens can enter Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days. It's important to book return flights and travel insurance, and reserve at least one night in a SHA++ hotel. Additionally, carry proof of vaccination and a travel insurance certificate. Some recent reports suggest potential mandatory measures upon arrival, such as testing and quarantine, so it’s advisable to check the latest updates from reliable sources. Lastly, a couple of RAT tests should be carried along for reassurance.

I’ve heard that they are saying you’ve tested positive when you arrive and then making you stay in hotel for a week and pay £1000? Is this true? Sorry to ask we just need someone out there asap. X

I’m not sure why you’re telling me that, not Tim, but yes. Excellent point. Vaccination also needs to be added as an assumption here.

hmmm that’s not really needed. I arrived into BKK last Saturday and the immigration officer asked where I will be going after test and go and I told him Phuket. He didn’t ask for anything else.

you clearly didn’t see yesterday’s discussion. Maybe your officer didn’t ask, but that doesn’t mean none will. It IS a requirement and some do. When giving advice for someone who likely doesn’t want any hiccups, shouldn’t we give them the advice least likely to cause them? I wasn’t looking for a fight here. Oy!
