There are already reports of people taking friends/colleagues to the airport after 9pm and returning perfectly ok.
Ask your local policeman and he'll probably confirm.
Or, like everyone else suggests, go really early to avoid the risk.

We travelled back to the UK on Sunday night (18th July) through Schipol via KLM.
No issues. Just needed our negative test and PLF at check in.
These were checked again before being allowed to board the final flight to Newcastle, but, again, no issue.
Not sure if any of that will change when Netherlands put Thailand on their Red list on the 24th.
It shouldn't do, but best to check with them.
If you're travelling through Dubai, you'll need to book a quarantine hotel before you travel.

Just thought anyone who's returning to the UK might find this info useful.
The cheapest Day 2&8 home test kit I could find from the UK gov list was Dantelabs.
The kit came in at £84 with free shipping. (some are still charging double that)
There was a cheaper company at £70 but the form didn't work, so I gave up and went with Dante.
Hope someone finds it useful.
Safe travels all !

Ours at Aspire in Bangkok is still open and our condo will be vacant from Sunday too.
Time to go home. (definitely no pool there)

Before the virus, I would fly to Scotland via Amsterdam or Dubai, but I'm not sure I could do that now.
Amsterdam is fine. Dubai is on the Red list so hotel quarantine required.
For those that need the info;
The next announcement about Amber/Red list countries is due on Thursday 15th July.
Any changes would take effect from Wednesday 21st July.
To travel to the UK whilst Thailand is on the Amber list you need:
A negative test within 72 hours of your final departure flight time to the UK.
Pre-booked Day 2&8 Covid tests (if you shop around you can get it down to around £100)
Fill in the Passenger Locator Form. stating where you will self isolate for 10 days.
To travel to the UK if Thailand goes onto the Red list is pretty much the same apart from having to pre-book a quarantine hotel at a cost of £1650 (or £2600 for a couple)
All the info is on the UK Governemnt website.

And that even been fully vaccinated
If you have been fully vaccinated, YOU should be protected aginst the severe symptoms of the Coronavirus (Covid 19).
You would, however, still be able to carry it and pass it to others.
Theoretically, not a problem if everyone around you has been vaccinated, but viruses just don't work that way and find a way of spreading.

You must pre-purchase Day 2&8 PCR tests to take during isolation.
From my understanding that "pre-purchase Day 2 and 8 PCR test go for a whopping 180 to 200 pounds apiece. Your not allowed to get the ones being handed out for free. Someone's making a killing.Cheapest set is just over £100.

Interesting, but if you havent booked and paid for the day 2 and 8 covid tests wth a receipt before flying and tested negative in the prior 72 hrs, dont think you are allowed to board.
Correct.
You also have to fill out a passenger locator form.

How big are these airplanes??? 10.000 a day in 5 flights...???? 2000 a flight??
An A380 can carry a maximum of 853 passengers, so a minimum of 12 flights required at almost full capacity.
I have my doubts.....

"This is known to include the UK - the Thais hope the UK will give them an amber rating helping their nationals visit Thailand without restrictions on their return, notes Thaivisa."
Thailand already has an Amber rating and there ARE restrictions on return to the UK.
You must have a negative Covid test within 72 hours of your return flight.
You must fill in a Passenger Locator form before departure.
You must self isolate for 10 days on arrival.
You must pre-purchase Day 2&8 PCR tests to take during isolation.
Apart from that, it's plain sailing.....

Pretty sure that hundreds years from now, our response to Covid will be remembered as probably the single biggest mass overreaction in the history of mankind to this point.
More likely, they'll laugh at the fact it was still raging on for years, when it could have been killed off in a month if everyone had just stayed home.

A friend of mine took his PCR test on Wednesday.
Got the negative result on Thursday.
Booked his flight and filled in the passenger locator form on Friday.
Finally booked his Day 2 & 8 tests yesterday and travelled last night via Amsterdam on KLM.
Landed in Newcastle half an hour ago.
Could have got it done all in one day if he'd wanted, but preferred to take his time.

what is the difference between touching cash and touching a credit card ?
thaisabai
You input your own details into the tablet they give you, so they don't even touch your card.
Unfortunately, there is no slot on the tablet for cash.

Sounds like they've only just set this service up, so I expect that auto reply will probably change in the near future.

There's an old saying that pretty much sums this up.

Underarm deodorants in Thailand?
in General Topics
Posted
I switched to Alum earlier this year and will never go back to deodorants.
It lasts forever, is cheap to buy on Lazada and your armpits will never smell again.
Brilliant stuff.
