Let's get real. Thailand Pass is ok, just to validate 2 things: Vaccinations and insurance. 1. Unvaccinated travelers are not welcome so please stay at home. No need for all sorts of exceptions because all the extra paperwork makes and complications are not worth it. 2. And yes, any international traveler should anyway have a medical/accident insurance so why not ask them to prove that you have one. My wife and I just yesterday (24/4) traveled from Thailand to Europe (EU) and we discovered that we wasted a lot of paper to print out 3 sets of vaccination certificates (for checking, for transit in Doha and for arrival in Europe). All wasted, we were not even once asked to show a certificate.

Is it so difficult to measure the exhaust during the annual checkup of the car? If it exceeds the limit, then simply no renewal of the license, car confiscated and send for scrapping. Like most "clampdowns", indeed, this is another farce.

This brilliant man, without medical degree, has prepared his country for as yet UNKNOWN variants. When will this nonsense stop....???

Don't count on anything. Tomorrow it will be "a misunderstanding" again.

By the way, very often, when I browse the CNN website, with a Thai internet address, I get advertisements of Chang Beer on my screen. To me that seems a very clear violation of the law.

Apparently these nut cases have absolutely nothing better to do. The government should be ashamed of itself to waste resources, tax payers money, on this sort of nonsense.

Shame, shame, shame on those countries that are NOT on Putin's list of "unfriendly countries". They are friendly with a lying, thieving and murdering gangster. They are on the wrong side of history and they will find that out. The spineless clowns who call themselves the government of Thailand will have to come with some serious acrobatics to wiggle themselves out of it, in due course.

One can imagine how busy the police station normally is....

1. if I test positive on either day one or day 5 what happens? Nobody knows 2. Do I have to go into quarantine and if so who will pay for it? Nobody knows 3. What if I test positive but have no symptoms do I still have to go into quarantine where do I go what do I do? Nobody know It is recommended not to come unless you have something urgent to do in Thailand, or until your above very important questions are clarified and answered in such a way that we can trust whatever protocol the government comes up with.

What is the meaning of this "Air Bubble"? No need for Thai Pass? No need for Test-and-Go? Or perhaps just another publicity stunt by the governments of Thailand and India?

Two suggestions: 1. Your mom can use an insurance from her home country as long as it states that Covid-19 is included and that the coverage is for a minimum of 400,000THB 2. Or your mom can wait until the new 300 THB "Entry fee" is implemented. This "entry fee" will include medical insurance for tourists. It has been delayed from 1 April 2022 to a later date because of technical problems with the collection of it. But the principle has been approved. Govt is looking for a way to collect it through the air ticket but there are some international legal issues with it.

"...new entry pathway called TPHS ..." " ...comply with Thailand Pass’s Service Level Agreement (SLA)..." " ...now adding the Thailand Pass Hotel subsystem to facilitate automatic approvals..." " Servers are being expanded for this new approach...." "....a live chat function is being added..." "... The Thailand Pass Hotel & Swab System (TPHS) needs just 10-15 minutes..." Clearly, the got hold of The Book: "Sloganology: The Anatomy Of Slogans And Hundreds Of Famous Examples From Companies, Places, Politicians & Movies". It can be ordered on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Sloganology-Hundreds-Examples-Companies-Politicians-ebook/dp/B003J35K46

Just contact your AIA and tell them to put you in the Immigration database. They maintain a database and as long as your name, passport etc. is in the database you should be ok.

Clearly the limit of 0.2% THC is not followed in the CCSA. Hallucinating is common. Why would India want a travel bubble with Thailand?

There are many, many more things wrong with the Thai beer, wine and liquor industry. How for example, is it possible that Beer Lao, from a neighboring country is the most expensive beer in Thailand? In all neighboring countries (Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam) it costs less than the equivalent of 20 THB a bottle or can. Why is the (apparent? import?) duty so high in ASEAN fellow member Thailand??? Guess, who could be behind this? And the worst thing of all in Thailand is that the alcohol content of drinks is not taxed. The tax on low-alcohol beer is much higher than on the high-alcohol local spirits, just the opposite of "normal" countries (actually, the rest of the world including abnormal countries). Health advocates have complained about this for decennia. Guess again, who could be behind this?
