Tamara Holland-Martin. It's been interesting with a mix of good and bad. Twelve months ago I visited Patong and it was like a deserted film set. It was heartbreaking. A lot of the beaches were good because they were deserted, but there was no vibe except in Rawai which has a large expat community, but even that was suffering. I've travelled around the country and seen the good and bad of covid. Ko Chang, Samui, Samet all very quiet, struggling to stay afloat. I live in Bangkok, so it was hard to walk along Sukhumvit between Nana and Asok with its previous bustling night market, and see a deserted street. Nana Plaza a year ago all the bars were open but there was zero tourists. Chiang Mai, Chantaburi could get hotel rooms that previously were costing $80 Australian for just $20. Car hire from Suvarnabhumi at $18 a day is good but not so good when the places you go to are dead. But the last few months it's slowly coming alive again which is great. My father used to say no matter how bad the night is, the sun will always shine in the morning
It's all down to whether the airline will accept a recovery certificate along with a positive covid test. The question has been asked a thousand times, and there's really no straight answer. Contact your airline. If they say no, then no it is, irrespective of what any government website is telling you
