Division 1 or temporary one in Bangkok.. never know which to go

Hi, I got in Thailand in mid November on a visa free 30 day, I extended my stay at the immigration office till mid January. I know I can get another 30 days extension by asking for it, my question is about the whole covid 60 days extension... would it be better to ask for 60 days next time I go to the immigration office or should I stick to the 30 days ? Maybe I got this all wrong, just looking for info, thanks.

Finally got it, applied on the 2nd, received the Pass on Hotmail (went to junk) I had not received the confirmation. Flight on the 15th (arrival the 17th) Canadian Vaccine, no passport number on vaccine page, no nationality Canadian Insurance (Sunlife letter) Agoda Booking 5 Demands, 2 emails, the first demand got accepted as the next 4 was using gmail.

Let me know if it does, I tried and it did not work, so far I only seen EU vaccination certificate getting auto accepted, I could be wrong but that has been my observation in the last few days.

B. Screw Thailand, I have been waiting for 2 years to travel and if they pooped the bed, they will not see my money. The amount of stress this process is creating is absurd. I will not try again, they can forget it. I will also do my best to dissuade anyone to travel there if they ask me about it. Between their lack of communication, the bad programming, the terrible execution and the stress they create, they are NOT PREPARED and I will not encourage them.

yes, for a reason or another, no one gets a confirmation email, I have not seen anyone receive either confirmation or the pass on an @hotmail.com .

I tried the QR trick cropped trick, did not work for Canadian/QC QR.

Do it as soon as you can, be sure not to use Hotmail email for now as you will get no confirmation.. More information here : https://aseannow.com/topic/1237582-thailand-pass-is-up-and-running/page/32/

1-Somewhat..you still need the PCR testing before leaving and in Thailand, the hotel will ask you questions. 2-Thailand pass ask you date of entry and exit... unsure if you can extend but probably, just gotta make sure your insurance will continue I guess.

mate, I done everything they ask for, is it too much to ask they get better at this? I am a 40 years old with lots of travel experience, pretty tech savy and I find it difficult to navigate their system. I could just shut up and eat it but I feel many people are in the same boat here. You can be defeatist and say "oh well it is Thailand" but it is like the factory worker seeing a problem on the line and saying nothing, they need to Kaizen that <deleted>, not just accept to be mediocre.

I sent it again today and I have not be approved instantly, just wanna pitch in here... (had to change flight)

Traveling is already stressful, Thailand asks for us to jump hoops, we jump the hoops only to be met by a lackluster system of approval. Sorry if this is nothing more than a rant but I have to get it off my chest. They should have agents ready to help tourist to do the paperwork, they should have streamlined the system and allowed us to review our application once it is sent. I had to change a flight, now I have to redo the whole application again, maybe it will take weeks before they iron out the system and we all have to make reservation BEFORE getting approved. I kinda foresaw it so I booked only on the 15 of November to be on the safe side and I am still stressed about it... I cannot imagine if your flight is supposed to be in 2 days... Meds, house closing, baggage, PCR test, airport transportation... all of those are still things people have to do after getting approved.... What a bad system Thailand put forward here...
