Fly, don't cancel, the Thai Authorities only require 10 days after recovery, which i think has now been reduced to 5 days, but judging by their reaction to my situation it doesn't matter, they just want to see that you have done the required 7 days isolation after testing positive and have a doctors Certificate to prove it.
, I got the impression that they don't want to Quarantine you, its not good for their tourism industry, they are looking for a reason to not isolate you, a Certificate of recovery gives them this option and they gladly accept it, the manager was extremely happy to see it, the arrivals that don't have it after having had Covid leave them with no choice but to Quarantine you in the hospital, that's when your vacation starts to get expensive, I hope this helpsπ
i got my Certificate on the 2nd February, my flight was 4th February, , i got a PCR test on the 3rd February and was negative but came up positive the next day on arrival in Phuket .
In February I got tested on arrival PCR, results came through 8 hours later at 2am, while I was isolating at my hotel , at 2:15am I gave my Certificate of recovery to the hotel manager , he photo copied it and sent it off to the relevant authorities, at 11 am a doctor came and looked at the Certificate, at 11:17 am I was free to go, best thing I did was get a Certificate of recovery.
just a correction, on reflection after reading some of these comments i realise it may have cost me about 6500THB because I also had to put some money in the 2 accounts not 5500THB as previously mentioned, I didn't pay too much attention as the cost was incidental , Cheers Stu π
Depends whether or not you are vaccinated, it used to be 7 days quarantine if you are vaccinated and 10 days if you aren't, however if you have had Covid and have recovered then a certificate of recovery will set you free.
I was there in February on a tourist Visa ( on holiday ) in Phuket, used an agent , cost me 4000THB for the agent, opened 2 accounts, 1 for personal use and 1 to deposit 800k for retirement Visa, took about 40 minutes, BBK branch, cost me about 5500THB in Bank fees, includes insurance. Hope this helps you make a decision π
