Hey guys. 

We are looking to come to Thailand at the end of April. When is best to start booking the sha hotel and also the Thailandpass application?

Is an onward flight required? We are looking to extend our entry exemption by 30 days, would the onward flight need to be within the first 30 days?

I am arriving on the 15th April and already submitted the Thai Pass application.

I am looking forward for the Arun Riva Bangkok!

It's facing the river and from the balcony we can see a monument. We expect to be able to drink some wine in the balcony, looking at the boats and the main monument on the other side of the river (diagonal) 🤩

There is a more expensive hotel facing the monument and the river, but I am ok with this angle and loved the price!

I know next day I can walk to the main monuments too, as traffic there seems chaotic

You do know from April you no longer need a pre departure PCR Test in your own country UK

Start now. You need to have a flight out within 30 days. The hang up would almost certainly be with your airline not allowing you to board without one. Best option is a changeable ticket. Alternatively Google “onward ticket” and you’ll find lots of companies that will sell you one for $10.

thanks Stuart, I had a bad experience with onward ticket and being caught out from Vietnam to Bali. Will book a flexi or refundable with Singapore and go from there.

lots of people will tell you they didn’t need a return or onward ticket. Many people get away with it. However you don’t want to be the one that doesn’t as you try to check in to your flight.
