You can be old school and get a vaccine passport for 50 Baht. Nice little paper book with name, passport number and vaccination details on it. As it is issued by the govt. should be good enough for domestic check in. Most of my jabbed ferang mates have them.

I went with a couple of mates who were collecting their 'vaccine passports' here in Chiang Mai. I asked if I could get one having been double jabbed in the UK. Got a polite No.

OK so picked up the vaccine passport. I can not get one as I was vaccinated overseas and I do not have permission to show an image of the one we got. It has your name and passport number on the front page. Hand written. It has 2021 03 followed by another number also on front page. Maybe a date and then the document number. This is a guess as it does not state exactly what it is. Inside are the details of your jabs with plenty of room for more. Specifically on validity it states in the notes ' The validity of the certificate shall extend until the date indicated for the particular vaccine' Apologies if this is as clear as mud. I tried to confirm what the dates meant but got nowhere. Should have taken a Thai speaker with us.

I prefer to have the ticket, even just for reassurance. Also I get my plans queried often (have sat in the naughty chair at immigration in Singapore and Bali for a 'chat') I even get my hand luggage weighed. Must have a guilty face!

Hopeless at providing a link but check out www.bestonwardticket.com One of many providers. Process is also explained on home page. I nearly always get one of these if flying one way. Only had show twice at check in.

People will be on to recommend firms like Transferwise etc. I would add if comparing companies then look at the rate not just the fees. A low fee is worthless if the rate is lousy, just a fee by another name. Also tell your UK bank before you transfer. I have the misfortune to have HSBC as my bank and regularly get relatively small transfers blocked due to 'possible fraud' A real ball ache to get fixed.

Just 'rent a ticket' from Thailand to anywhere. Cost $12 or so. I have used them plenty of times at check in as proof of onward travel.

Did not think to ask. Will have a look and report back after collecting it next week.

Anyone arriving in Thailand today, vaccinated or not, gets to do 14 days quarantine either in a hotel or via the sandbox. You also need insurance and a Certificate of Entry. Having a vaccine passport will not change this. Can not comment on tomorrows rules just yet???? Will confirm validity when we pick up next week.

I understand there are a few places you can go but we went to the health clinic opposite a Siriwong Book Centre on Sridonchai Road. Where the graphic asks for flight details just say you live here so not needed. Any other details needed just shout, will reply when I get back from beers.

Applied for this in Chiang Mai today. Took less than 5 minutes. Only people there. Pay 50B on collection next week.

To finish up. Yes, the clinic is directly opposite Suriwong Book Centre. There is a small car park at the front and a larger one behind on the left hand side. There may be other places to go, not sure. You have to go to the office at the front facing the road. Not completely consistent with what you want but definitely copy of front page of passport. One mate had a copy of his Wall of CM registration with the 13 digit no, one did not. As with all things Thai take a copy of everything! Very easy, 5 minutes max we were the only ones there. Receipt provided with a date to collect in one weeks time. I did ask if I could get this passport having had two jabs outside Thailand but got a polite 'no' Best of luck

Heading there now. Will report after lunch!

Sorry but I am not the technical bloke to ask. If you can see your vaccine records then maybe take a screenshot on your phone if you are worried about no wifi. I am going to the health clinic on Sridonchai tomorrow with a couple of mates to apply for the 'vaccine passport' hardcopy so will report back if I learn anything new. I guess either of these will work if the rules for dining in in deep red zones is actually enforced. If I seem a little vague on details I am just trying to help some mates out, both my jabs were done outside of Thailand so does not really affect me directly.

The Mor Prom app is available in the Google Play Store. As long as you have that see no reason why you cant download to a laptop etc. Being a computer dummy not sure how to provide a link but if you just type in Mor Prom in to the store it is the top one. Green background with a white cross. 5m odd downloads. It does say Mor Prom but in Thai. Good luck.

The Mor Prom app has English instructions. I helped a mate register today. Two computer dummies and we managed in 5 mins. All his details there, he only got his second jab yesterday. Needed his Wall of CM number starting with a 6 and a phone to receive a OTP. The QR code is the one on the certificate handed out after the second jab. Had lunch with a mate who had the vaccine passport. Think he said it was valid for 10 years but don't quote me on that.

Just for info. After your second jab you can use the certificate to get your details on line by using the mor prom app. Scanning the QR code in to Line also provides an on line record. If you want an old fashioned 'vaccine passport' take your certificate and passport to the health clinic opposite the UOB bank on Sridonchai Road. 50 Baht, takes a week.

I grew up in Hillingdon (where Heathrow is.) 30 years ago I promised myself that I would not return unless is was to get on a plane. The chances of me doing quarantine in a Holiday Inn on the Bath Road are zero. Doha a possibility.

Mate had his second jab yesterday. Just downloaded Mor Prom app and all vaccination details are there. We are both computer dummies and it onlt took minutes. The bit of paper you get with a QR code after the jab can also be scanned in to Line.

I arrived from the UK in May on a STV. Currently stamped in till November. If nothing changes and I can't extend further then it is 10 days in an amber country first or worse case the hotel quarantine. Fully aware of the risks at the time of booking, anyone who wasn't should not have been allowed to travel without an adult.
