FAQs

What are the steps for traveling to Koh Samui as Thailand reopens?

Please follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth journey to Samahita. During our soft opening period, please book your first night’s stay in Thailand in an AQ or SHA+ authorized hotel at your port of arrival. Then come and stay with us once you receive your negative test result.

What changes can I expect to see at Samahita?

We continue to operate with our high cleanliness standards and open-air spaces, with some minor changes for your safety:

A hybrid of meal choices served to you along with self-service buffet, to minimize touchpoints in the dining area
Room cleaning every three days for safety, privacy and sustainability. Fresh towels may be requested.
Covid safety protocols as per the Thai Ministry of Public Health

Is the Samahita team vaccinated?

Yes, all staff at Samahita are fully vaccinated and 70% of Koh Samui has been vaccinated.

What happens if I test positive for Covid when I arrive in Thailand?

As you and all travelers to Thailand must be vaccinated and tested prior to flying, there is a slim chance that you will test positive after arriving (approximately .10% of arrivals). Should this happen you will be required to go to a local hospital or designated hotel isolation until you recover or test negative. It is recommended that you have medical insurance that covers hospital stay even if you do not have symptoms.

What other documents do I need if I’ve had Covid?

If tested positive in the past 90 days, a Medical Certificate indicating that your first date of infection is at least 14 days but not more than 90 days before your date of departure is required.

Can I fly directly to Koh Samui?

Yes, but all travelers must enter Koh Samui with a direct international flight (arriving at Samui Int’l Airport from another country), OR with an international flight that enters Thailand via Suvarnabhumi Int’l Airport (Bangkok) and is connected to Koh Samui through Bangkok Airways sealed flights: BKK-USM Flight No. PG5125, PG 5171, PG 5179 or from Singapore SIN-USM Flight No. PG962.

We look forward to welcoming you soon to Thailand and especially to Samahita Retreat.
