Hi All,

Hope this may help others, like people have helped me previously to understand.

We arrived at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport yesterday at 9am local time from London.

The ‘Thailand Pass’ desk is very efficient they want to see the below:

- Thailand pass

- RT-PCR

- Boarding pass

- Landing form TM6 (if applicable)

- Passport

All paper and we were through in less than 10 mins.

Immigration was quick for us too (About 15 mins).

Collect luggage, had time to go to ATM and also get a Tourist SIM, then exited to where the quarantine hotel pick ups are.

Here not so efficient , bit of a free for all.

Lots of Reps with boards , desks with names of hotels etc.

Once you find your hotel they queue you up to wait for transport (we waited about 30 mins)

At hotel , check in and had to wait 45 mins for PCR Test. It’s one swab from mouth and one from nose. The nose one is not nice!

Then to the quarantine room.

They said test results would be 6-10 hours.

We received our results (both negative) via email 7.5 hours after the test at 7.15pm.

We were then allowed to leave the room and go for dinner , 7/11 etc.

We stayed Novotel hotel right near airport.

They print off your negative report, as I understand any other hotels you stay in Thailand will want to see it on arrival.

TLDR : Answer Summary
This post provides a detailed account of the arrival process at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport, including the necessary documentation like the Thailand Pass, RT-PCR test results, and immigration procedures. The poster describes a smooth entry, although the process for getting transportation to the quarantine hotel was less organized. They also share their experience with the hotel quarantine procedure, including waiting for their PCR test results and the requirement for a negative report upon checking into other hotels.

Other hotels do not ask for negative report.

I’m not sure MarGuyvin. But what would happen if I was Thai resident and lived here for years. I would not have a negative report on entry.

Sometimes if the person intends to move onward to another province (ex: Samui), some of those province will want to see that negative report from your hotel.

Yes good point.

I was told the same. But when you think about it …. You could be a resident moving from one location to another and not newly entered the country.

oh ok, the reception here said they would. If we do get asked then we are sorted.
