What should unvaccinated travelers know before visiting Thailand?
Hiya.
Me , my other half and my little girl are looking to visit Thailand and travel about for a month or so. We are both unvaccinated, we have booked our 10 day Quarantine hotel in Bangkok, our thailand pass, and sorted out decent health insurance. Is there anything else we should know that will make getting into the country unvaccinated any easier?
Many thanks.
Kyle.

We should not convict others so that ourselves are not convicted. Don't convict them because we may also behave like that in the same situation.

You will need to show vaccine proof at many places

We were in Chiang Mai for the Sunday night market. Had to take temp and show vax card to get in.

@Ryan *********
I go to the night market every weekend, they've never asked me for my Vax card.Ryan **********
@Garrett **********
interesting. They did us. 🤷♂️Ryan **********
@Garrett **********
they asked us at the airport also when we flew from chiang mai to Phuket. 🤷♂️Garrett ***********
Ryan As a foriegner I've never gotten asked for my card, even in the airport. They always ask my Thai friends with me, but never me.
Thomas *************
At least one hotel in Bangkok (Marvin Villa) required me to show the proof of vaccination in order to check in. One smal village that I visited in Isan also asked me to give them my vaccination card to submit to their local health officials.

Thomas Jr Schultz lmao the most uneducated and ignorant region in Thailand of all places 🤣

Unreal...nearly as funny watching all the masked motorbike riders...brilliant !!
Sharon *******
Just a heads up, everyone is still required to wear masks, some places will require vacination for entry or possibly a test at entry, so it may be wise to check with any where you plan to visit what their requirements are so save wasted journeys.

Make sure your insurance covers symptomatic case as most insurance doesn’t pay for it
Garrett ***********
@Ta***
Asymptomatic*
Zap **********
Insurance will cover medical needs with set symptoms such as high fever for a set time period. It is the asymptomatic quarantine costs that are not common for insurance coverage.

Looks like your good to go. I’ve just completed my 10 day quarantine, went ok as it happens. Luckily I had a balcony and could sit by the pool for 45 mins which made a difference. Apparently they’re looking at the amount of quarantine time, maybe going to reduce that....makes sense, as there’s virtually no difference between jabbed and unjabbed regarding transmit rates. Enjoy.
Gary *********
The hotel arranged day 2 and day 8. That’s all that was needed. Obviously your test before the flight as well. For info when your coming back, I’d booked a day 2 test....didn’t turn up, and had no comeback. Somebody mentioned they’d used a previously used code to put in your passenger locator form. Wish I’d done that and saved myself £95. Not that you should do the same 🤔

@Michael *******
Virgin active?Michael ********
@Ryan **********
yes takes couple of days, but cases are rising and i would want to be stuck in one of those covid hotels you hear about and see on you tube. One benifit of being vaccinated dont have to show test results, although gym i go to has weekly tests but wouldnt get reported if unfortunate to catch.Ryan ***********
@Michael *******
Finally someone with common sense 😁. You’d be flabbergasted how often someone will argue against that with me.Kyle *********
OP@Michael *******
yeah we sorted all that aswell sorry should’ve mentioned. Cheers mateMichael ********
@Kyle ********
No worries just got to make sure it covers hospitilisation even if no symptoms. Can work out expensive.Activity
