Well I for one think she's gorgeous. Really not a fan of skinny Thai girls ????

Buster's Fish & Chips (Sukumvit 33/1) is pretty good.

Not a clue. Heads in sand.

Not one single clue about what's happening in the rest of the world.

Thailand is acting like they can keep the Omigron out of the country. Nothing they can do about it and personally very tired of all this difficulties to enter to thailand

Agree. Within a couple of weeks it will be every where in Thailand. But that might be a good thing if symptoms are as mild as being reported. If not, then things will turn shi$&y very very quickly.

Get a beer before you go through immigration!! None the other side.

Go to the far right on departures, to the convenience store there. I sat around there. Completely empty.

That's only place I could find!!

Nothing open on the air side at all. Just the usual hi-so Rolex shops etc. Certainly no beers.

I was in the UK earlier this month. 

You need to check very carefully the rules for the country you are entering. 

And the rules for your airline.

For basics, for flying to the UK with Qatar, I needed:

Vaccine passport from Thai authorities

Qatar airline Covid form

PCR test 72 hours before flight

UK location form + and booking post-flight Covid test (rapid)

And then it's another load of hoops (even more hoops!) coming back. Thailand Pass!!!!

I've worked in BKK for about 20 years - I can assure you the experience in this city is not the same!!

Some people are just ... lead by their basic instincts . No mental activity involved . Sad , but worse than this is that some are evil . Those people represent a danger for society and should be treated as such .

Errr. You mean Thai males.

I must be on the wrong side of luck...no QR code after I applied six days ago...no email from the @support and of course...still no QR code following my email of enquiry

Apply for AQ. I did this morning and got the QR for AQ immediately. Then a short while after received Test and Go QR too.

Success! Finally received Test and Go approval QR code. I am so relieved!

This morning (8 Nov) I applied for AQ approval after many unsuccessful attempts at Test and Go (since 1 Nov).

AQ approval and QR code arrived in my email almost straight away. Less than three minutes.

Then, just 10 mins after QA approval QR code I received the Test and Go QR code.

So now have two QR codes (I fly on 13 Nov).

So I would say to anyone worried about applying for AQ, go ahead and do it!

Looks like it kicks the process of getting Test and Go approval too!

Cheers.

So, if your test and go QR does not show up, are you suggesting to apply on AQ with a 1 day booking. Then use a refundable 7 day quarantine package to show at check-in and switch back to the 1 day booking when you arrive in Thailand?

Think this is the idea, yes. 

If you can evidence vaccine x 2 (and can evidence all other test-and-go requirements) then why would they not allow 1-day test and go on arrival? Makes no sense.

So I have just applied for AQ through the Thailand Pass system.

I made three approval requests for Test and Go from 1 November. But no QR code.

However, through the AQ route I received QR code immediately. This has got to be some glitch in the system.

Anyway, now I am worried that my full docs won't be accepted.

Are there reports of people getting through the system with the AQ?

Would appreciate any thoughts. Cheers

You can always apply again via Alternative Quarantine.

 

 

Does this really work? 

I see Thai authorities are recommending not to do this.

But are people entering Thailand successfully (and not having to do 10 days quaratine when they have the right docs)?

Thanks

Thanks for posting this. I emailed support and literally within a minute i received a reply with the QR-code attached.

So to anyone still waiting, just send an email to support!

I did. No response unfortunately.

I’m due to fly back to Thailand on the 13th (entering on 14th). No QR code. I applied on 2 November with all required documents.

I work in Thailand with Digital Work Permit. BOI company, which is partnered with a UK investment firm. And I need to be back for work.

When should I start panicking?

What options do I have in pursuing them for approval?

Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

Been following this thread from Nov 1, and it's been very helpful. I thought I'd chime in here and share my experiences in hopes that it helps anyone else in the same boat. I'm based in the US, so my time frame for all this might be shifted slightly as this whole process actually began on the evening of Oct 31 for my time zone (Central Standard Time).

 

Oct 31 (21:00 local CST / 09:00 in BKK) - had lots of trouble and was getting the API error most others were getting in the early hours of program rollout. Never got a successful application in.

Nov 1 - following advice to use CORS plugin and add space after passport number, I finally got a success message on the application process. This was about 4pm local time (which would've been 4am Nov 2 in Thailand). No confirmation email however.

Nov 2 - finally get a welcome/registration email 17 hours after my initial success message (sent to my gmail account). Still no final QR code email.

Nov 3 - After still not getting any QR code for TP, I decide to try again with a different email address. This second application gets a welcome/registration email to my second email within minutes.

Nov 4 (overnight) - During the early morning hours, I receive not one but two TP confirmation emails with QR codes. I checked and they were both valid and active. The first came about 1am local time and the other came at 4am local time. The weird thing is that they both came to the same email address I had initially used for my first application. And they also both had the same arrival date (even though I had pushed my arrival date back on my second application.)

Nov 4 - Since both of these QR codes still listed the wrong arrival date, I decided to try my luck and do a third application in hopes of getting a corrected TP with the right date. I sent the application in at 7:45am this morning, and got a welcome email instantly. The QR code came via email about one hour later. Unfortunately, it still has the old arrival date.

 

Takeaways/observations: 

• For the third application made today, I didn't use the CORS plugin or put any spaces after my passport number. I think these early system hiccups have been fixed.
• All three of my QR codes still say valid, so a new one being issued apparently didn't invalidate the old. In my experience, I don't think there's much harm in trying again if you would like to change one of the variables on your submission.
• Admittedly, I failed to read the "fine print" on the instructions for the first application, and didn't realize that they were looking for a cropped QR code for the vaccination attachment page. I do think there is some merit to taking the time to get a good quality scannable and cropped QR code to upload to their site. I can't prove it, but it may be what was holding my application up the first go round.
• For those without a vaccination QR code, I would consider looking into your options about possibly getting one if possible. I was vaccinated at CVS and finally realized all I needed to do was make an account with them and I had free access to my vaccine QR code. Whole thing took like 10 minutes to get.
• My opinion is that the main thing we are trying to accomplish is getting the QR from Thailand Pass. This is like the magic ticket. When I scan the Thailand Pass QR code, it has very little info pertaining to what was collected on the Thailand Pass system. There's nothing about hotels, insurance, visas, etc. It's just your basic bio info, and vaccine records. My theory is that if there's any holdup, it's probably happening in the vaccine area, as this seems to be the crux of the QR code from what I can see. Perhaps Thai workers will have access to greater/hidden metadata that isn't viewable when scanning the QR code? I could be wrong, but it seems like it's very limited.
• I am still troubled by the wrong date listed on my TP, but I see that the confirmation email with QR code has an expiration date listed as Feb 2022, so maybe this isn't even an issue? The arrival date isn't even listed when visiting the resulting webpage from the QR code, so it doesn't seem to be something recorded with the QR code. I'm willing to take a chance on this minor detail since I could even just crop out the arrival date and only show the QR code, and from what I can tell there'd be no way of ascertaining the arrival date based on what comes up in the scan. Has anyone successfully got their date changed on a new QR code?

When do you fly?

Many thanks.  But I cannot even open the links shown on this post.  Do you have a link that I can download.

 

I have googled everything on Thailand pass, but no links that I can see.

 

Strangely enough, the app from Apple works fine.  But my friend in Germany only has an android phone.

 

Thank you.
