  1. I did it exactly the same way. I had to create a gmail account because some users report hotmail etc. isn't working. Bought a prepaid simcard for a new phone number to sign up with gmail. Collected the hotel booking confirmation, coronacheck international certificate, and passport copy. No need for insurance as it's for a Thai national. It's strange no flight confirmation was asked, just the flight number. Opened all PDF files with photoshop, cropped the QR code from the international certificate and exported all to jpeg with a medium resolution to keep the size below 2mb each. The vaccine certificate does not show the passport number, you know... privacy. Then submitted it all, no extra space after the passport number and chose Test and go. Collection of the documents, export and submitting it all took about 30 minutes total. Within seconds i received a confirmation email from thailandpass, it says the process can take up to 7 days to complete. To the people that have already received their thailandpass. How much time did it take for you between registration and receiving the actual pass? I've read 4 days to some within hours?
  2. The hotel confirmed they need a negative covid test result, not a fit to fly certificate.
  3. Yeah that just came to my mind. Sent the hotel an email, waiting for a reply. If so they should phrase it a bit differently like negative COVID test 72 prior to flight or something.
  4. Hotels don't even know the rules. I think i'll give them a call. Do you really need the letter from the hotel? They told me the booking confirmation from agoda works just fine and can be uploaded to thailandpass.
  5. SHA+ hotel which i bought a 1-night package from on agoda now asks a medical certificate covid19 examination... Anyone else having this problem??
  6. I have received an email from the SHA+ hotel (larger chain) requesting a medical certificate COVID19 examination. Is that required by the government? I've not seen it anywhere in the Thailandpass regulations. A medical certicate is not even a thing where we live, and i don't know how i could obtain one in such short notice. Such a clusterf....
  7. This is mentioned on the thailandpass website: Paid AQ / SHA+ hotel reservation confirmation (for the duration of 1 day and including the fee for one RT-PCR test)
  8. Guys, i'm starting to feel i made a mistake booking the flight for my wife. She also has already taken time off from work which was not easy to do. We're not retired.... and we don't have all the time in the world to reschedule things because this piece of * government can't even set up a simple registration website. The only way to buy a package is from agoda, as mentioned by some posters. I tried to reason with the hotel in siam but they say there's no other option to book than sending both sides of a credit card and a copy of the passport by email. Knowing how they deal with such sensitive matters in Thailand, no thanks! The credit card must be on the name of the person staying in the hotel which is not me. My wife is going and she does not own a credit card. By the way, credit cards are really not even a thing where we live! Everything is done here with electronic payment or ATM card. To buy a whole package seems to be mandatory. From the thailand pass website: "Paid AQ / SHA+ hotel reservation confirmation (for the duration of 1 day and including the fee for one RT-PCR test)" You must also be picked up by the hotel taxi/van, although that's not clearly mentioned on the website. So 1 night + transport + PCR-test package PRE-PAID! Booking the room only like some posters (and the hotel self) have mentioned will not work. The flight ticket has already been booked, arriving early in the evening. That means she'll probably be quarantined for 2 nights. Test&go? yeah right! This whole test&go is utter BS. It's just a shortened quarantine with still too many hoops to go through. I'm starting to get frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of clearly stated requirements and regulations. What was i thinking? Nothing has changed since we left Thailand. It's still the same bureaucratic, incompetent government that can't get anything right. F...
  9. How did you guys book your SHA+ website? I understand it must be some kind of package, 1 night + testing on hotel premises + pickup from airport by hotel (taking a normal taxi is not allowed?). Booking.com does not list any packages and i don't want to be slapped wit ha 10k bill later on for a simple PCR test and transportation, solly solly sir, is special price for you sir.
  10. So, according to the thailandpass website i have to book a hotel package for a minimum of 1 night, must get picked up from the airport by the hotel and the PCR-test must be done on the hotel premises. There are multiple SHA+ hotels listed on booking.com but none offers such a package. I want to clearly know what the PCR test and the pickup from the airport will cost. I don't want to be slapped with a bill of 10k+ for pickup and a PCR-test! I found one hotel in BKK siam offering such a package but they are asking me to email a lot of sensitive documents like passport and both sides of creditcard! No way. What's wrong with these people? Where or in what wayhave you guys booked your SHA+ hotel package?
  11. Ah yes ofcourse coolant too. It's an automatics yes. Will have the car serviced and the tyres checked for cracks and flat spots. I don't know if i can trust B-quik on that matter though, they'll probably recommend new tyres.
  12. My wife wants to visit Thailand after the much anticipated "re-opening". Do the same rules apply to her? Does she have to get a Thailand-pass (replacement for CoE) with all the requirements? - COVID insurance 100k THB - SHA+ pre-booked and pre-paid hotel for 7 days (or is it 1 day until the negative result has come in?) - Vaccination certificate - Negative PCR test pre-boarding? - on arrival PCR test??? (If so, how many times and what will it cost in total?) ???? TiT
  13. Our has car has been standing idle (in a covered carport) for nearly 3 years, not been driven since we left Thailand, but we have someone to turn on the engine for 15 minutes once a month. I'm worried that the tyres have dried out, really a shame because i replaced the tyres with expensive michellin a few months before we left Thailand. Does anyone know if tyres should be replaced after x years? The motoroil needs to be replaced ofcourse, are there any other things that degrade faster when idle? Maybe the brake hoses or other rubber parts? Thanks guys
