42 minutes ago, Enoon said:Next time use an agent.
That's what I did.............after working out how to create good quality jpegs from other formats/sources (and having already suffered enough anxiety using the e-visa site).
It cost about 3000baht but their website was really, really, really easy/simple to use, they communicated very well with me and it took just over 6 hours to get it after I finalised the application........by paying for it.
I "pressed the button" and went to bed........it was in my email when I woke up next morning.
and this "agent" , which is just another website, will not steal my personal data passport credit card and go shopping another week or month with them?
it is one thing to give all your digits to a failed govrtnment site, and another thing to give
it to some suspicious web site of digital tea money

Been a long week of holidays that ended yesterday unfortunately from just before Christmas to after New Years.
so this is why i have to lose my flight and my hotel booking?
if they cannot handle PASS requests within the 3-7 days they promised, than they
should say so clearly. i just followed their rules and got the silent treatment,

SAME SAME news, same warning in few other countries, even if there is no rise in infections.
amazing how this global central news room is working and spreading the same news all over the planet in the same time.

Just now, Bvor said:maybe a blessing in disguise............will avoid false covid test results,incarceration & insurance refusal
well maybe, and maybe not...my complain is that they just DO NOT SAY ANYTHING, no result no email no answer to phone calls, until aventually my flight date arrived !!
this is a disgrace indeed and breach of all trust.
if they want to cancell it / delay it/ change it or just do not like me ,i can understand, but
hey, you MUST SAY SOMETHING !!!

set your sights on April and low season golf….
and what if in april there will be another outbreak? we cannot plan like that.
i learned and followed the rules, problem is that thIs PASS team are breaking the
rules they made. the least they can do it SAY SOMETHING so people will know
if to wait for their answer or not.

that is a helpfull advice. but than they break their rule that says answer will come within
3-7 days. if now answer will come within 10 or 15 or whatever days, it means we need
to book a month or two before traveling, and anyway they MUST ANNOUNCE IT CLEARLY !!
they are wasting people's time and money with their nonsense

Call your local Thai embassy/consulate. Some are more helpful than others, but if they are willing to get involved, they can get it resolved quickly.
i did call them. they said they have no control over the thai pass.

Officially, yes, but in practice they are able to advocate for you if they are willing to do it. Although usually they won't even consider it until one or two days before you are due to travel.
I know 2 people who got their TP this way and if you search this forum, you will find other examples. (Which is how I found out about it in the first place.)
TOO late for me because my flight leaves in 2 hours.
thing is that this PASS is connected to many bookings. flight hotel ext.
so i cannot change them according to their craze. that is why THE WORST thing they
can do is GIVE NO ANSWER AT ALL. that is because they just waste people;s time until
their flight is coming. they know when the date of my flight. why can't they say something
even a say or two before the flight date? they just do not care.

https://www.tatnews.org/2021/12/thailand-pass-temporarily-suspended-those-received-qr-code-can-enter/no, you got it wrong. thai pass is still working but only via phuket.
anyway they need to tell the applicants something. they could send even
one small email telling what is going on, because the request was registered.

I am sorry but everything you wrote there is absolute rubbish. Even for the price you quote in a Thai repair shop.
i paid much lower to change the HDD on my laptop to SSD
YOU can find the SSD prices on line (i bought mine at banana IT for 1250 baht 256 GB), and than it cost me 500 baht to replace it (in that repair shop).

i said no difference between BRAND NEW HDD and SSD.
i refer to the poster question. he found a nice computer and only do not
like the installed HDD. so in that situation i advice to buy with the HDD.
if he could find the SAME computer with SSD than i would advice to buy
it with the SSD.

i read several news web sites from different countries. amazing how they all publish the same health news
at the same time. i am not a fan of
any conspiracy theories. just amazing to see how there is really one small group
of people who decide for billions others, tell them what is "going on", and what is they got it wrong?

13 days ago i sent the application. got a "registered" email immidiately.
since than - no answer at all. my flight leaves tomorrow.
no reply to my emails. no answer in their phone numbers.
and as mentioned - no REPLY/ RESULT / RESPONSE at all.
this is the WORST case scenario because i do not know where do i stand, what and if i did wrong,
and how to continue - shall i try again and book another flight / hotel / insurance, or
just forget about the whole thing for few months?
giving NO ANSWER at all is THE WORST. it leaves me hanging in the air
not knowing what to think.
are they mad at me? at my country? don't they
like my passport photo? my passport number? i can change it for them.
just SAY SOMETHING !!!

most computers nowadays run on SSD. How much of a difference does it make?
you can buy the HDD , use it for 2 years, will work great because it is new.
than you can change to SSD, will cost you (in thai repair shop) around 3000 - 4000 baht. SSD is better in the long
run but when new there is no difference.

you are not allowed to transit anywhere in thailand.
you have only two options: fly direct to phuket and stay there for 7 days before continuing to other parts.
or fly to bangkok and stay 7 days (if vaccinated) in ASQ hotel.

does this refer to tourists too? will farang have to sleep in those beds, shown in the photo, until they feel better? and if so, what will it cost?
i don't mind acctually, it is a step in the right direction, but what will propably kill me is the floral design of the beds.

what you can do is take some thai girls and dress them as spanish, with the right make up they will pass. teach them some basic words like HOLA and GRACIAS and nobody will notice, most of the customers are drunk anglo saxons who could not tell the difference.

9 minutes ago, yogi yogi said:time to shut down sandbox. do it now
stupid. the other way around. time to lift all restrictions on travel, like the U.S. GERMANY and other countries did.
once the transmision is local, there is simply NO POINT IN TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS.
will be impossible for the xhanophobic thai government to get it, but this it the truth.

THAT IS IT !! game over !!
omikron means double the cases every day.
within 10 days those 144 cases will become allmost 300,000 cases, the entire phuket population.
the whole population will have to get into quarantine in those so called "hospitels". or that the whole island will be declared one big hospitell with free quarantine for all.

I could be wrong but I think you're using fake websites. Spelling PASS as PSAS is a bit of a giveaway.
is the official site for Thailand pass I think. But, I've no experience applying for it.
psas is the web site to pay for the PCR tests...pass is to get the PASS...see what's going on here? next site they will build will be called psss to pay for urine tests.

9 minutes ago, samtam said:Also, can anybody please tell me why an arrival who tests positive goes into hospital for 10 days, whilst his spouse (who tested negative, but was sitting next to him), has to quarantine in an hotel for 14 days? Does the USD50k per person cover both the hospital stay, and the 14 day quarantine at a SHA+ hotel?
hysteric reaction of thai authorities who keep on complicating simple things. Asympotomatics need to quarantine at a special hotel, not hospital. hospital is only for sick people. this is the simple and obvious solution. will the thai government ever get it? of course not/

Horror story of my THAILAND PASS application
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
not only me could not pay for the PCR, also my hotel tried to do it from thailand !!
and could not do it !!
also many other people complain about it.
why must i use an agent and who is that agent? do you know this agent? can you assure
me the agent will not run away with the money?
my main complain is that THAILAND PASS does not even SAY SOMETHING, just leave me
waiting until my flight date. and not only me. many other people complain about it.
so you see, sit,this is not just a case of SCOTT FITZGERSLD NEED TO PAY HIS PCR.
we are not in elementary school anymore. when there is NO ANSWER AT ALL
AND NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE THAILAND PASS
than ALL TRUST IS LOST !!
THAILAND PASS is the only way to travel to thailand now and giving NO ANSWER AT ALL
destroys tourism to thailand.
the reason i am writing all this here is that maybe some high officials read it and become
aware of the problem and fix it. because the reason for the problem are LAZY INCOPETENT
STUFF !! that cause HUGE DAMAGE TO THAILAND'S TOURISM INDUSTRY 11
