foreign
good morning everyone i hope you are all having a wonderful time as usual we are here
every sunday to update you about the latest from thailand concerning travel and tourism
if you are willing to come of course to thailand very soon
so as we said last week that thailand will make things better and yes now the rules has
changed they are better so in today's vlog i'm gonna update you about the new rules if you are
willing to come to thailand soon and moreover what is the real situation in thailand concerning kovit
and along the way we are going to dongbong airport to show you the real pictures
of the airport the arrivals the departures and everything you should know if you are
willing to come to thailand so so it will be very interesting vlog let's walk and talk
so first of all we are heading now to the mrt circumvent
to take the underground train and see you in the next station
next station
so here we are guys we are at dongbong airport this is the second airport in bangkok
and mostly it's about domestic departures more than international but the good things nowadays
that if you want to reach this airport you can use the public transportation and i'm gonna post
soon a vlog to tell you how to use the public transportation in order to reach this airport
very fast and in a very cheap way now let's go back to our main topic which is our latest updates
from thailand and the new entry rules that you should know in order to enter in thailand nowadays
now before we start updating you about the latest rules that has changed recently in order to enter
thailand in general don wong airport seems so calm and these are the situation lately in most of the
airport in thailand but dongmong seems much more calmer although it has lots of domestic departures
but nowadays the action is so calm in this airport and you can walk and talk not too much people
flying and hopefully things will change and this airport will be back to what was it before covet
as i mentioned last week that thailand will make things better
and yes indeed this week the rules has changed and one of the good things that i was talking about
the removal of the pcr test at the fifth day and also the booking of the hotel so
this is very good news nowadays if you want to come to thailand you have only to book one day
with one pcr test and at the fifth day the pcr test has been removed and now it is atk test that
you can do it at the fifth day and after doing it you can upload the result in the tracking app
now everyone has already booked their hotel at the fifth day and the pcr test
there will be refunded and they should not stay at the hotel at the fifth day
and their pcr test and the hotel booking should be refunded so these are the requests from the
thai authority of tourism and the government for the hotels to refund the fifth day and
the pcr test at least to give a voucher to the travelers in order or change the date
now as a general idea we are now at the third floor at the dongmong airport and the first floor
is about the domestic rivals we came from public transportation the first floor is the domestic
rivals after that you have the airline office the second floor and at the third floor you
have the domestic departures and at the fourth floor you have the shops restaurants so this is
a general idea about this airport and now along the pictures we are walking at the third floor
now the second rule that has been changed is about the insurance nowadays you can book an
insurance that covers only twenty thousand dollars before it was fifty thousand dollar
now you can book an insurance that covers twenty thousand dollars and that means that
you are going to pay less while you are booking your insurance nowadays before it was around 240
for 90 days now it could be half of it because the coverage is almost less than the half that it was
before they are announcing that there is a backpack found at the departures and the
police is checking about this backpack so i don't know who left his backpack at the
departures or maybe he went to the toilet but he left his backpack here and they are announcing if
he won't come and take it back it could be a big problem in the airport so that's the announcement
now let's go back to the updates and tell you what about the people that they have already paid for
their insurance that covers 50 000 usd dollars should these people get a refund or maybe go
with the win i think gone with the wind because you have already booked and no one is talking
about this topic then guys i'm sorry to tell you that i think there is no refund that's the case
i am sure lots of people are wondering how thailand is easing the rules although the
cases are rising in thailand well that's the thing i'm going to talk about it right now
because there are so many questions and also saw negative comments that thailand will lock down
or things will not be okay in thailand soon but
now i'm going to tell you what's happening in thailand why the cases are rising
and at the other hand against all odds the rules are changing to better so let's talk about that
well now i am at the fourth floor which is the restaurants floor and almost everything is closed
here it's so calm as if i'm walking in my condo guys it's so empty so calm most of the shelves
most of the restaurants are closed this is one of the parts at this fourth floor the subway
thai restaurant everything is closed here at the fourth floor now i'm walking till the end because
there are some restaurants operating there i'm gonna show you also that part but as i was saying
why thailand is easing the rules although the cases are rising well the thai government and the
thai health authorities thai tourism authorities everyone is working to make this happen
which is in couple of months the endemic which means that you have to live with covet
so if you want to eat in dongbong airport you can head to the fourth floor there are some
restaurants that are operating and one of the famous ones is the burger king that is operating
in this airport and also in suwanapum airport and in phuket airport so the burger king is standing
against all odds it's operating in the three airports till now that i have visited suwanapum
phuket and now dongmong airport of course there are other restaurants operating besides the burger
king the cafe amazon if you want to enjoy some good coffee and what else we have here miracle
coffee that's another shop so if you want to have a coffee and miracles maybe this is the shop
along the way also here you have this slip box if you want to enjoy some relaxing moment in this
airport at the fourth floor where the restaurants are located one hour 300 baht and five hours 1000
baht and if you want to stay overnight is 1500 baht so this is also located at the fourth floor
at the restaurants floor and if you want to relax in dongguang airport then you have the
option to stay at this airport starting from 300 baht which is only one hour
now after the rules we come to another part which is what is the situation in thailand nowadays
from bangkok phuket pattaya and all the touristic destinations and if it's a
good time to come to thailand or not well in general as i said although the rising cases
all the cities are in action nowadays starting from bangkok the capital city into phuket
pattaya pattaya is little bit calm but it's okay as you saw from my latest vlogs
in phuket especially the night life is back the action is back there are lots of tourists
and pattaya i think by time it will be much more better although the rising cases
well now we are back to the departures floor and as you see from the pictures there is some action
now because it's around 12 and there are lots of flights that are departing this airport at 12.
hmm and now i'm going to tell everyone that is upset from the current situation or the rules
we have to wait things are getting better because if we want thailand to reopen fully it will
take time but for the time being the new rules are better than the old ones and hopefully
the thailand pass will be removed and everyone can come to thailand by just showing the vaccine
passport or maybe doing a pcr test i hope you enjoyed this vlog thank you for watching i'm gonna
update you if there is anything new and stay tuned and subscribe for more from live love thailand
