Hey all:

I'm looking for first hand experiences from people who had layovers in quarantine zones in Thailand earlier this year..

If I am in traveling from Chiang Mai to Koh Samui, through Bangkok and there are quarantine measures for people coming from Bangkok, would that affect me?  Or are you only expected to quarantine if you leave the airport in Bangkok?  Thanks!

Answer summary

The inquiry seeks to clarify if quarantine requirements apply for travelers with layovers in Bangkok when traveling from Chiang Mai to Koh Samui. Community responses indicate that there are no significant issues or quarantine requirements for transit passengers, especially noting that restrictions have been lifted since earlier months of the emergency. Several commenters shared positive experiences and reassured the inquirer about the safety of continuing to their destination.

There was a limited amount of self-quarantine between certain provinces. This was in the early days March/April of the emergency. All have been lifted a while back
