This could potentially make crossings even more dangerous as pedestrians (especially unsuspecting tourists) will think it’s safe to cross.

I’m confused. All this talk of reintroducing the Test & Go, but the article below says travellers must book a hotel room for, “at least five nights”. Which is still quarantine, surely.

A crossing would probably make it more dangerous.

Everybody should be eligible. I walked in to an NHS facility here (UK) two days after arriving and was in and out in 12 minutes with a Pfizer booster in my arm. That’s how you protect your country. Not still faffing around with those who are entitled for a jab. Plus, once the UK realised Omicron was already here they cancelled the red list as there was no point trying stop it coming in anymore. Omicron is in Thailand, so continue with T&G.

As my flight leaves on the 31st 21:00) I think I can take the test on the 29th as well, which give me a bit of leeway as I thought it was 48 hours from departure:
When to take your test
You must take the test in the 2 days before your service to England departs.
For example, if you travel directly to England on Friday, you could take a test any time on the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. The test result must be available for boarding.
If your journey to England is a multi-leg journey, you can take the test in the 2 days before the start of the first leg.
It would be great to hear from people who have done this though. I am kicking myself that I didn't bring a test from the UK. It would have saved this hassle.
I did it last week at the Racquet Club (Medex). If you test before 8am you get the result in the evening. At check-in for my Thai Airways flight to London they only wanted to see the test certificate (I did a PCR as I didn’t realise you could do an ATK) and the passenger locator form for the UK. My understanding is that you must have a certificate to show so a home self-test would not be acceptable.
You must test less than 48 hours from scheduled departure time.

Not sure the missus would be too chuffed to find a hubby-rubby going on in her bathtub, which is why the establishments will survive.

I have my own explanation of ‘Thainess’, but I don’t want to upset the moderators.

Then get rid of it. How’s that for seamless? Oh, sorry far too logical for Thailand.

Yet another annual announcement rolled out with nothing changing.

I wondered when this announcement would reappear again this year (with nothing changing, obviously). My betting was October. Darn. Could be September next year? I honestly think they’ve used the same photo as last year as well.

You reap what you sow. When corruption is rampant, expect everyone to want a place at the trough.

Cool! I knew it sounded to good to be true. So, really no real incentive to help the police or oneself? Are there any cash available for ones who do report?
No, just a lottery; like walking on the sidewalk/footpath.

What about ones who ride their bikes the wrong way on the roads, you know against traffiic or wrong directions on one way street? One could make a fortune in one day alone just on the beach, beach road, 2nd road. One could literally sit in one spot and record more than 10 violating individuals a day in these locations, and earn 100,000 thb a day. There is no way this reporting system will work the way its designed. One could earn 1 million in just ten days sitting and recording in these locations.
It’s not 20,000 per report. If you send in a photo you go into a draw to win 20,000. It’s in the main article.

We concentrate the great unwashed tourists who cannot get the Thailand Pass, how about the poor Thais who cannot get back home?
These people are far more significant to the relevant authorities than the great unwashed. Even more worrying for them, they can complain in the correct language, and they may have connected relatives!
If they have connected relatives they probably won’t need to bother with a silly pass.

Hydrogen fuel cells (HFC) are the future. EVs will die out slowly as the infrastructure is too great and complicated to support it. Imagine, in the UK for example, where street parking is very common; how can you have a charger in place for every car on the street? It’s nigh on impossible. And used batteries are hardly ‘green’. Toyota are investing massively in HFC technology and is also the main reason why Honda are pulling out of F1; to focus on HFC development. They’re doing it for a reason. Plus, current fuel stations can easily be converted to provide hydrogen.

If it’s any use when I did the old COE it had to be to the end of my visa, so I’d get the 30 days if I were you. Plus the company I went with only issued them in blocks of 30 days. I couldn’t have got two weeks cover.

I came back about 3 weeks ago under the previous requirement. I was stamped in until the end of my extension next August but insurance only valid till mid Dec this year.
So, you only purchased two months’ insurance but staying for 10 months? If so, I guess I could do the same (see my previous post). Thanks.
Again here we have dual pricing, This will just not go away
