My application for THAILAND PASS was rejected because of "PLEASE PAY FOR 2 PCR TESTS"

the website THAILANDPASS.COM did not mention anything about this document as required.

there is no way to update an existing application, only to start the whole process again.

the website for the PCR tests payment, THAILANDPSAS.COM did not work, and i could not make the payment.

still i did send another application and explained that their PCR payment web site does not function properly (i even

got email from that website support saying they are still working on it !!!).

now 8 days have passed and still did not get any reply from the PASS team, not even rejected, nothing,

there is no way to check the status.

nobody answer phone calls or emails.

question is: how do i get now this THAILAND PASS if it works at all?

I don’t remember waiting more than a few days for mine which was done in November. Also I didn’t pay for 2 pcr tests?? I payed for one pre flight in UK and one at a 24 hr quarantine hotel when I arrived. 

now there is a new document required - payment proof for 2 PCR tests.

you will not find this requirement on the THAILAND PASS website.

they will tell you about it only AFTER you were rejected, and the only way to

update your application is to START IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!

yes, so many thais neverheard about this street and just can't wait to book into backpackers

hostel and than go to getdrunk and buy a bus ticket the next day to koh samui or chiang mai !!

such an exciting street !! bus and air tickets to all over thailand..and the world !!

just be carefull not to get scammed by one of those travel agencies,as it happaned to me

few years ago. i paid cash for an air ticket, i trusted the woman there because the wall behind her was full of hundreads of passport photos of travellers from my country (!!), and when i came few days

later to collect the ticker - the whole office disapeared !!

but i kept the receipt !! MINI TOURS !!!

thai people are doing their readings in hiding, usually at home in their private rooms.

it is a cultural thing. unlike in the arrogant west, where people go out to cafe and bars

and read books asif to show the whole world "look i am reading a book", the humble thais

are reserving their reading to the quiet and private times they spend at hope, with or without

their families.

it is not about "thai", it is about a centralised system that does not function and acctually

blocks the whole country to visitors, farang thai tourists or business...everybody suffer because of this evil thailand pass psas web sites !!

the problem is that the THAILAND PASS does not work properly.

the phones numbers there DO NOT ANSWER.

there is no way to check the status of your application.

no way to update with new required documents (need to start the whole process again...

just because the idiot programmers do not know how to program the updates!!),

and the worst - THEY STOPPED REPLYING THE RESULT !! I AM WAITING MORE THAN

7DAYS NOW FOR MY RESULT - NO REPLY FROM THEM AT ALL !!

what a disgrace. they insist of pre payment of 2 PCR tests, but the web site

to do so DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY !!!

SO for 4200 cost of PCR tests, they propably lost hundreads of millions of baht

in revenues !!!

now the thailand pass works only for entry via phuket, it is built in the system.

than you have to stay 7days in phuket before you can travel elsewhere in thailand.

problem is that the THAILANDPASS system does not function properly.

i am still waiting for an answer for an appliation from 8 days ago.

than it might be rejected for reasons you can predict.

they ask you to pay in advance for PCR tests on web site which does not work properly.

it is just one stupid bankers.

all over the world, bankers can decide stupid things with no relation to the main bank policy.

hahaha - really?  Nobody can be that stupid. The rules are very clear and you acknowledge them several times before you even arrive in Thailand. 

the rules are never clear and ever changing.

and remember that this guy came here for a HOLIDAY !! he came to meet

family who also came as tourists !!!

so far for them to get back to holidays in thailand !!!

 True, but there is a difference between active local spread and the variant having entered the country at all. It could be argued that there is not yet evidence of uncontrolled local transmission here. There surely will be, eventually, but there is not yet.

 

However once there is, based on past performance the government will not lift the travel barriers.  They really could have done so by April 2021 yet they waited till November....just in time for the next variant. By April the rates of positivity in the population well exceeded what was seen in international arrivals and travek barriers were serving no function.

 

The other important issue is whether time gained by travel barriers is used to good effect which in this instance would mean rapidly immunizing the still unimmunized plus rapidly administering booster doses. Not at all clear this is being effectively done. In that sense,  travel barriers may actual serve a negative function as it seems to lead to a false sense of security. Again, what happened the first time around.

i personally believe the omikron variant and all the anglo saxon stats involved with it are

just another lie to keep people at home in the festive season.

i base my opinion on stats from south american countries and even south africa, who do not

follow any new restrictions and do not show any rise in infections, let alone deaths.

hard to admit,but your countries are lying to you. thaland is just obeying anything the big boss

from UK / US are telling them to do.

well let me tell you a little secret - the "situation" is very calm also in panama, conta rica, brazil, argentina, and even s. africa !! without any new restrictions !!

entry to all those countries is possible without PASS non sense, but some will require

vaccination.

you can check this on WORLDMETER.COM

thailand keeps shooting itself in the legs with all those restrictions.

So what is it than? tested positive and than tested negative in 3 separate tests? like a dog with a bone they wouldn't let go, let's make an example out of him to deter others from doing the same is what the police is all about now, pity, this is not how the Thai police should act, they're better than that, this is pure cruelty, let the man go, i'm sure he and many others got the message...

HOTEL STUFF lied to save their face or aszz.

now this poor guy will have to pay dearly, maybe even sit in jail, just because

the hotel stuff did not explain to him properly what he should do.

another story to remember for tourist who consider coming to a holiday in thailand

Report in the Guardian saying that many scientists think the U.K. has already peaked. If that is the case, then the downward slide will be pretty rapid, as it was in South Africa.

if those idiot sceintists in s.africa were not rushing to tell the whole world

about a "new dangerous variant, propably with the hope of gaining nobel prize,

than nobody would even notice this omikron nonsense.

the sceintific truth is that there is no point to close the country, once it is

confirmed that the variant is spreading locally.

that is whythe U,S, and many other countries, not so advanced like thailand but still

modern, scrapped all restrictions on travel from africa and else where.

the point in the initial closure is to gain time in case of a serious outbreak.

but once the omikron is in thailand than there is no point in blocking the borderd,

besides showing to the nation how good we are in guarding against the ai farang.

If you actually imprison this guy they will be shooting themselves in the foot, but it wouldn't be the first or last time!

well they allready did much worse than that.

they forced him into few days in field hospital, while he is NEGATIVE for covod !!

by doing so, they acctually risk his life !!

than they told him that his FIRST PCR test came positive, while acctually all thre came NEGATIVE !!

that is psychological turture, just to save the hotel's stuff face / job.

now, they want to charge him with this and that and will propably make him pay\

HUGE fine, while what they have to do is acctually APOLOGISE  to him and release

his to continue his holiday !!

this case IS AND WILL BE famous all over the world, and will cause huge damage to

thailand's reputation and business, just like with that american guy who got arrested

for posting negative review about that stupid hotel in koh chang !!

what a wonderfull holiday !!

please be reminded that this "israeli man" came to thailand for a HOLIDAY !!

he came here to SPEND HIS MONEY yet is treated like a dangerous criminal

and "desease spreader"  just because, i am sure, some misunderstanding

in his hotel check out !!

from my expereince , thai official and stuff tend to put the blame on the "farang", if

to save face and if to save their jobs.

it happaned to me. i allmost got arrested, threatened with violence and told to SHUT UP

because of a mistake an immigration officer did in the airport !!

it was all her mistake - and anyway i am not a thai immigration expert - yet i had to

get the heat !! what a disgrace !!  this case is now famous all around the world and will

deter even more tourists from ever come to thailand !!

well at least in thailand they still blame the prostitute for the crime.

in other european countries, mainly sweden, they blame and frame only

the customer.

yes you heard it right.

prostitution in sweden is legal but going to a prostitute is a crime !! the  customer

gets arrested and pay huge fines !!

hope this twisted idea will not spread to thailand.
