Travel between the provinces-allowed?

Recommended Posts

Drove between Chiangmai and Lamphun  provinces and back last week.

 

Road blocks and temp testing but no restriction. Interestingly there was nobody manning the road block on the way down 6am, only return journey 9.30am.

Also on the return journey the roadblock was inundated with smoke from many fires burning in the fields within a few hundred metres.

You use a very generalized headline and the answer would be "generally yes".

There has never been an enforced ban on interprovincial travel by car or motorbike.

Few exceptions of hot spot provinces with quarantine.

Travelling by car/taxi from Rayong to Bangkok no problem at all.

(people have driven from Rayong up to here in the northeast)

 

Now your specific question: can I travel by bus from Rayong to Bangkok?

Even if there are no coaches you could still use the minivan option to Pattaya and on to Bangkok.

Not my favorite way of transport but if it's urgent...

 

I can't help about direct coaches from Rayong to Bangkok.

WCaught van Chantaburi Rayong Pattaya a couple of weeks back. Several vans at Rayong for Ekkamai when I was there. The large Trat to Ekkamai Cherdchai tour bus was at Chantaburi when I was there and left at 11.30 AM. Guess it went through Rayong on the way. Usually does. No checkpoints. Just temperature test at Rayong bus depot.

Thanks guys!

Just to add for your consideration. 

I travel often to both Pattaya and Rayong from Bangkok.

We use same taxi guy all the time (not the cheapest but v.good) anyway price Rayong to central bkk 2000 baht.

Right now you could do better if you approached taxi driver, example at pier area Koh Samed.

I understand there should be no covid checkpoints anymore between Bangkok and Rayong?

Travelling is not a problem, as long as you can get transport.

But..... It's what you do when you get there.

Many places still have 14 day lockdown restrictions for new visitors.

You really need to check with the Poo Yai Ban or local medical office.

Local people will report you if you just turn up.

I'm in chumphon. If I leave to another province it's not a problem. However I'm told when I return I would have to do 14 day quarantine in my home. So in my case.  Travel is possible if I'm prepared not to return or if I return then doing 14 day quarantine. My city and province is not a Hotspot... Not recent cases and very few during the worst of it. However we are stuck in the middle between phuket and bkk.. So maybe that's why the mandatory quarantine when returning.

But POTY possibly could.   LOL

Is the POTY some kind of bus travel expert, and is that the function of the said position?

 

If so there are a couple of really sad ex holders of the title who regularly post and react

to posts like yours who could also help.....

Sorry to upset you, but I DID put LOL, you know, laugh out loud, on my post. It was meant to be relatively funny as Yinn usually reacts to anything Rayong based.

Who are the 'sad ex-holders' you refert to please?
