Without a COE you will not be flying. You must produce a valid COE to board the plane.
From 1 November you can also apply for a ThailandPass. This is a separate system that you will have to apply for all over again. COE applications have nothing to do with ThailandPass applications. At the present time, a ThailandPass is scheduled to take up to 1 week to be granted.
If you do not have a COE or a ThailandPass, you will not be allowed to board the plane.

You will need your vaccination certificate to prove your vaccinated status to the airline.
If you cannot prove your fully vaccinated status using UK approved vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZenica, J&J) you will be required to show a negative PCR test to board, as well as prebooking and paying for day 2 and day 8 PCR tests in the UK. After arriving in the UK you would need to self isolate for 10 days.
Those who are fully vaccinated only have to prebook a day 2 lateral flow test.
Also, if you are coming back to Thailand you will need to be able to prove your vaccinated status to use the Test and Go scheme.
You should be able to get a new vaccination certificate from the hospital that vaccinated you.

Trusts that benefit an individual are specially disallowed in Thailand.
Civil and Commercial Code Section 1686:
Trusts created whether directly or indirectly by will or by any juristic act producing an effect during lifetime or after death shall have no effect whatever.
None of that stops your friend setting up a trust in a different jurisdiction.

So... is there another option, i.e. after the Sinopharm has sunk in, report for jabs of Moderna, Pfizer or Astra Zeneca (2 jabs each of whichever is available), and obtain vaccine certificates to that effect.
At the minute, to the best of my belief, supplies of Pfizer and AstraZenica are controlled by the government. As there is still a demand from many millions of unvaccinated people, the government is not yet ready to give third and fourth shots to people in your circumstance.
Moderna, however, has been purchased by a consortium of private hospitals, for those people who are willing to pay for it.
While the medical opinion in Thailand seems to be that you need only one shot as a booster, this is Thailand, and you may be able to book and pay for a second shot to prove you have received a full course of Moderna.
As the Moderna vaccine had not yet arrived in Thailand, only time will tell. As supply issues resolve themselves and the vaccine becomes plentiful, your options should broaden considerably.

Before you give her the bad news, don't forget to secure all of your important documents, outside of the condo if you can.
Passport, bank cards, bank books, pension documents, title deeds, housebooks, spare property access cards and keys, vehicle registration books and spare keys, driving licenses, any documents from your home country and anything else that would be difficult to replace easily.

Q: Does a LT Girlfriend have property rights when we split?
A: None at all. Absolutely zero.
As already stated, she also has no right to any cash settlement from you for maintenance for herself or for her child for any reason. You do not have to pay a one-off settlement and you do not have to pay any ongoing sums of money for any reason at all.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but this is how I see it.
If you have received two recognised vaccines, for example AstraZenica and Moderna, then you should be classed as fully vaccinated.
The fact that you have had an additional non-recognised vaccine should not matter. I base my opinion on the following:
A somewhat similar situation has occurred in the UK. The minimum recognised time between the first and second vaccine shots is three weeks. Out of the millions of people who have been vaccinated, a very few people ended up getting their second shot too early, before the three weeks had elapsed.
The way the government handled this was to discount or ignore the vaccine dose that had been received too early, and allow the individual to get another shot at a later date.
Any difficulty, however, is not going to be in dealing with the UK government. The problem might be with your airline when you are boarding to go to the UK.
As such I would take the time to check with them before you book, and try and get an email reply from their customer service department.
There are a lot of people in a similar situation to yourselves, so the airlines will have to find a way of dealing with this, especially as recognised shots can now be received from different countries.

If its an NI number then check birth certificate. I dont know, but you can search online.
NHS numbers stopped being listed on birth certificates some time ago. It was too easy for impersonators to get a start with their illegal schemes. The previously issued old style birth certificates still have the old format number listed.
NI numbers have never been linked to birth certificates. They are issued automatically to young adults based on their enrolment for Child Benefit, which 99.99% of parents in the UK receive as it is a non means tested benefit.
NI numbers can be obtained from the link given above, however you either need to be in the UK or using a VPN for the link to work as the application for issuance of an NI number requires a physical presence in the UK.
You will receive an NHS number when you register with a GP surgery for the first time.

3 hours ago, OneMoreFarang said:Now the question of the thickness.
Here they offer from 5 to 12mm. 12mm is still not expensive, I guess I will go for that one.
Recommendations?
The thickness of the glass required is a derivative of the unsupported area of the table top. In your designs, the glass is supported by the frame around the perimeter of the glass. It is the glass itself that must provide the support for both itself and and items you place on top of the glass.
As such, the larger the unsupported area, the thicker the glass will need to be.
For the tables in your OP, 6mm would be a good choice.
Be careful, however, as glass thicker than 12mm will be very heavy indeed, and your frame will have to be up to the job.
6mm glass weighs about 15kg per square meter. 12mm glass is 30kg per square meter. The weight of glass is proportional to its thickness.
There are glass strength calculators on the internet that can calculate the maximum supportable load for the dimensions, thickness and unspanned area of glass if you are building a very large table.

Get tempered glass. It breaks into small pieces for safety, like the side windows on cars.
No need for laminated glass, which is a number of layers of glass and plastic glued together in a sandwich, like a typical car front windscreen.
Laminated glass is designed to stay in one piece when it is broken for safety or security.
For example, you don't want your front car windscreen to break at speed, with hundreds of small pieces of glass then flying into the inside of the car at 60 kmh.
This level of integrity is probably not needed for your coffee table. Tempered glass is also going to be thinner and much lighter.

How do you know where the vaccine you were injected with was made and how can you verify such an item.
The lot number of the vaccine is unique to the manufacturing facility.
So many people have asked the origin of their lots that the information is easily accessible on the internet.
For example, AstraZenica Covid-19 vaccine manufactured in Thailand has a letter "A" at the start of the lot number.

...After meeting the bank manager, we concluded the only way was to give the seller enough money to get the chanote out of the bank and then conclude the deal at the land office.
We used a lawyer to get the owner to confirm the process with a contract but there were still a few sleepless nights as we were exposed for a couple of million baht before completion.
There was no need to visit the bank, no need to pay a lawyer and no need to expose yourself to the risk of losing your money.
Instead of taking days, the sale could have taken a couple of hours.
Ask the seller to obtain the redemption fee from their bank and tell them to ask the bank to be present with the chanote on the transaction day. It really is that simple.

Exactly as Crossy said. The current owner has to obtain a settlement fee from their bank that is based on the agreed transaction date.
You bring a cashier's cheque for this amount, payable to the bank that holds the mortgage.
You bring a second cashier's cheque for the difference, payable to the owner.
Bring cash to pay any Land Office fees (if you paying fees is part of your agreement with the seller).
It's that simple. These types of transaction happen on an hourly basis at the Land Office, to the extent that in Bangkok some banks have a member of staff almost permanently stationed at the Land Office.
As stated above, the Land Office controls the entire process. To be honest, I wish it was this easy in my home country.

Vaccine Passport lost, where to get a new one? Actually, is it needed if travelling to the UK?

What brand of vaccine did you receive, and was that one dose or two doses?
You have to stay at your place of self isolation. If that is a private residence and you have a golf course in the garden, then you are fine. If you leave the curtilage of the property without a lawful reason then it's a fine of up to 10,000 pounds if you are caught.
