If i were you and was ignored by the embassy and the consulate i would right or even phone the TAT department in charge of the Coe here in Thailand and tell them your grievances maybe they will listen...
Go online to the application and check, mine was approved, but I never received a email,, check by entering your pre approval code, I waited for 2 days after receiving no emails I checked online and bingo it was there, approved, just print it out.
All communication by phone to the NZ embassy is hopeless, but email response to questions was good, however no confirmation of the COE came, but was sitting there in the online application, confirmed.

It is not out of control world wide, but it is spreading too rapidly for hospitals to handle in some places like from Florida to Texas in the USA. Vaccine control is desired but is currently insufficient. Mask and social distancing control is the viable option until vaccinations can get to enough people to avoid the consequences of Delta in unvaccinated people - children are at the mercy of the adults around them.
I suggest you look at Australia news, aussie is a nut house now, NZ following suit with protestors in the streets today against lockdown, Delta can not be controlled, wait and watch NZ break out all over as the transmitters have been to casinos ,pubs cafes everywhere even the Auckland Hospital .

Anyone planning travel may wish to refer to my earlier post in:
Thailand / Thailand News / Thai made AstraZeneca good for visits to France and Germany, says govt spokeswoman
To prove my point further. In the August 16th edition of the Express it has now been reported that the UK will only accept arrivals without quarantine to people who have received 2 jabs of the same vaccine.
I think it has reached the point where highly vaccinated countries are seeing new waves of Delta breaking out.
So why go into MIQ if you've had 2 jabs of a vaccine that can not stop you being infected or transmitting Delta (this just happened in NZ a fully vaccinated nurse 2x shots of pfizer is infected and transmitting Delta) now we are in lockdown.
India's population now showing covid antibodies ,67% of them at the last count.
The have a very low vaccination rate.
So you enter XXX country vaccinated, you can get infected as it's all over the place and you can transmit it , but you may not die or need so much health care.
So open the gates, that seems to be the idea, it's out of control world wide and if India is an example I think vaccination which now looks to be unable to control Delta may fade out and Herd immunity will prevail, just as it did with the Spanish flue-- no vaccine for that and it died.

NRL at Eden Park ?
Yes-- believe it or not, the NRL wanted to have the grand final before a real crowd (they can't do that in Aussie at present) so they were weighing up to use ASB stadium (Eden Park) as it also can hold a huge crowd.
But since New Zealand went into lockdown last night that's not going to happen.
Incidentally, the strain that started this outbreak has been identified as an Aussie Delta strain.
So much for border control and the trans-tasman bubble, but I hope Souths win the final although the Storm looks to be it, other than Penrith,
Cheers.

There is no data.
No other country is doing this stupid "Mix and Match" bulls***.
I heard that vaccine manufacturers were not recommending mix and match, many reports on overseas news.
But who knows Thailand may have done some research which proves otherwise.
It was reported that the efficacy of Pfizer against Delta was 42%, Moderna was 86%, Astra was close to Pfizer. Pfizer are now recommending a third Delta booster shot.
Source RT today /Rick Sanchez.
It is well reported that Sino vac drops off after several weeks.
NZ went into lockdown level 4 last night with one spreader being a fully Pfizer vaccinated nurse.
They just linked the strain to Sydney, but not to one person as yet, thats still to come.
Now 7 cases since midnight, they suspect 50 to 100 out in the community.
RNZ news 2pm 18/8/2021.
Meanwhile people are panic buying toilet paper at supermarkets, travel bubble to cook islands closed, travel bubble to Aussie gone a few weeks now .
Don't think the NRL final will be played at Eden Park now ,with crowd, it will be in Aussie with background noise.

From what I've read you have to upload the cover page. The same as all the other documents such as flight, sha+ hotel and covid test documents. This is from US.
Just put your passport with the id and photo into the scanner then scan and save to your document's file.
I just done a COE for a friend and thats all I did.
When uploading from the COE online site when you upload from your files, you click open, then the file appears as a pic in the COE box, but it is not uploaded until you click the little square that says upload, it then uploads.
Use the other information box to upload any extra docs as you can only upload two docs, in the other boxes.
Make sure all your dates are corresponding for flights ect.
When you complete the first stage it gives you a pre approval , so that, then you can actually buy the tickets required, so make sure you edit stage one as you can not put the actual travel dates into stage one without buying tickets first,. You can put a close date then you will get a pre approval , then buy your tickets and pay for the insurance and hotels and download them at stage 2, remember to edit stage one to the actual ticket dates/ins and quarantine, or they will decline you, you then can go back and correct any mistakes, if not enough room in the extra info box you can delete the file you put in and rescan what you want to send to them and reload it

Bloody narrow U-turns require that. There is no other chance than keeping your eyes wide open, ready to break when you see a U-turn sign.
Sadly, this is Me First, syndrome, how many times do you see near misses when vehicles speed up to beat u turning vehicles, very sad.

Any indication which vaccine is being offered?
My guess would be 1 Sino and 1 Pfizer

an earlier projection was 400-500 for the second part of September.
I would think, that those figures would be higher, as situation progresses in the wrong direction
Sending 129,000 infected people back to their provinces, as no beds in BK, that's a step in the right infection.

I'm guessing you are spot on, mate. Same rules here in Udon Thani, and I'm spoilt for choice over which restaurant to have a drink in.????
My friend who's restaurant is closed in Sakhon nakhon, can open as soon as he and staff take one shot of sinovac and a second round of Astra, which he's been avoiding, but now he's accepted, so he can open.

TAT have become nothing less than an utterly pointless collection of oxygen thief's!
They might have had attitude adjustments at a seminar, with a few students.

what allowing import by private hospitals, without the government interaction and without taxes?
From the very beginning of year some 3 hospital networks wanted to buy some 20mln sinovac. They were blocked.
There were few other attempts for some other vax.
So now moderna import is curtailed to only 5mln, from which 1mln for the red cross/army
Where have all the flowers gone?
This whole vaccine debacle is a mess, not enough ingredients available, they were gazumped when India broke out, must have counted the chickens before the eggs.

Wow they must be selling the hell out of tourists trinkets and the new world famous Massaman Curry at inflated prices. How have just under 15,000 folks spent 1 billion baht in 39 days. Only way feasible would be each of the 15k spending almost 2k baht a day for all 39 days, but then we know that there were many folks that used the sandbox as an alternative ASQ so they could get home to other locales in Thailand, including Thai's. Must have been a few of those High spending monied tourists Thailand has been luring here. Or did a few also buy new homes and condos and those costs were included in the 1 Billion.
They are making plenty of money from the sale of plastic toys to play in the sandbox, what else could it be?

You are absolutely right, it is the total amount in Thai banks that needs to be equal to or greater than 800,000 THB
However, they are Immigration Officers , so best to do as they say. You don’t the headaches associated with arguing with them - salute, do as they say, and be on your way ????
Remember a friend of mine telling the immigration officer he was going to London for a couple of weeks, she asked him if he could bring her back some perfume.
He did, from the pound shop, she was very happy

Makes it sound like there would be no due process (like elections) and simply a matter of the outgoing guy polishing the seat of the chair for him!
Maybe there might be a new man to take over the watch, or a man with watches.

If you have a work permit you should be able to get it out.
My friend shifted 1 Mill bht overseas on his atm visa card, just a bit each day,
A few punters I know are buying gold, and a bit of silver, people are a bit weary of Bitcoin at present.
Property is the best investment, not in Thailand, but here and in Australia at present houses are flying through the roof, happening in many countries now.
Rents going up all the time.
No money to be made in banks, buy a house rent it and watch it double in 2/3 years.
When will the bubble burst???
My guess is when the banks up the ofc, then it will be fanny and freddy all over again, I don't think the banks want that to happen, so a sudden bubble burst might be a few years yet, but probably will happen.

With the new ability to charge fake news and then real news being treated as fake news by the police who have been given the means to investigate all of it by the PM in order for the Govt to save FACE, you wonder what his fine will be.
With the spike in the share price, caused by said news, there should be plenty of money to pay for any successful prosecution's resulting in a fine.

67 percent,I heard have developed antibodies against COVID in India.
Without vaccination, numbers of new cases dropping.
This could mean herd immunity is alive and well.
NZ’s outbreak of delta has one of the first spreaders infected and spreading c19 Delta whilst fully vaccinated with Pfizer.
Pfizer was rated at 42 percent eficasy against delta, and
moderna 86 percent.
Source RT Rick Sanchez
So why hand out sino vac its not going to be much use.
If herd immunity is working in India Then it will probably work Thailand To
