"Must be paid for" is actually an important thing to note with this and there was a thread here a while back reporting an airline's request for proof of payment at check in .  The traveller in that thread managed to get it emailed to them while in the airport but others might not be so lucky.  From the UK Gov website:

 

Proof of payment really is the booking reference number which you put on the Passenger locator form, without having paid you dont get the number, check in staff should be aware of that.

Thailand’s first, has also been detected, in a Thai woman who did not travel outside the country, but whose husband recently returned from Nigeria. 

Well of course by now they would have tracked, traced and tested all of the husbands and wifes contacts.

Lot of great information but think things have changed slightly now for the entry to the Uk.

Now required a pre flight PCR or lateral flow test with confirmation from clinic or hospital before leaving Thailand and also now a PCR test booked for day 2 of Uk return.

However requirements may have already changed again.

Did you need a covid passport to show your vaccinated on departure.?or just a paper certificate.

Paper certificate given to you after second shot should be ok it has a QR code you can scan with your phone line app etc which will link directly to the Thai governments web site showing your details of vaccination, passport number and dob etc in both English and Thai.

Photograph the QR code to your phone so it can be checked in case the certificate gets damaged or lost.

A few weeks ago you just needed to be double vaccinated before flying to the uk no pre flight test, but antigen test booked for day two of arrival was a requirement.

Seems goalposts have shifted again now its pre flight Pcr or Antigen test and a day two pre booked paid for Pcr test.

Maybe the OP has this information with his unfortunate Thailand TB experience.

Thank you.

Thought you had to have arranged for your vaccinations through that app to obtain the proof.

I had free vaccinations distributed by Bangkok Hospital Khon Kaen.

Never used the Mor Prom app.

Try using line app QR code reader to scan the Qr code on your vaccination certificate given to you by Bkk hospital Kk staff after your second shot......it may link to an official site confirming vaccine status.

Just tried this it does in fact pull up an official government certificate Mor Prom style showing personal and vaccine details.

So how to do you check the location of the person in the chat without asking them.?

At least 6 have tested positive with one now in Phuket as well just this week.

Probably returning non mandatory pre flight tested Thais and as a tourist on a flight with potentially many Thais its a covid lottery vaccinated tested or not.

And now the Taxi drivers are attempting  to price gouge.  2500 from airport to Pattaya.   Do yourself a favor.  Find alternate route.  Don't  let them use you like that.

Isnt there a fixed price at the official taxi stand around 1200 baht or by meter......maybe thats all gone out the window and its a free for all.?

So despite the headline if you are double vaccinated with a certificate of proof, except for crapovac, you dont need a preflight test.

The festival is expected to attract large numbers of Thais and foreign tourists to many areas but especially around the Chao Phraya River, reported Daily News yesterday. 

 

Hundreds crowded together! ,no fireworks lanterns or alcohol but never mind Covid freely available.

On the news this morning it said that all 6 came from Japan

Were they Thais who dont need a preflight test returning from Japan or actual Japanese nationals?

Maybe Thai Smile airways from Suvarnabhumi to Khon Kaen will offer the luggage option, normally included in their ticket price.

Nakhon Chai air bus company Morchit Bkk to Khon Kaen 6hrs and 600 baht for you and your luggage, comfortable safe reliable.
