I returned from the UK today and submitted my T8 form via the AOT app.

The immigration officer did not seem at all interested when I showed him the screenshot from the app as you are advised to do

i understand I have to report my medical condition and confirm my location for the next two weeks but I have no idea how to do this

The TATnews website says there is an app to do this:

• Travellers must record their own symptoms in the reporting system and monitor their symptoms strictly as required by the MOPH. 
• The traveller must notify the disease control officer about the places he/she visits, so that a surveillance officer can closely monitor his/her movement and contacts.

The FAQ page refers to an QR code that you can use to download the app but does not provide any link to the webpage with the QR code. It says it is “displayed at the disease control office”

Just so happens another thread started an hour ago on the same topic 

No enlightenment so far.

You just should have played the usual Thai game.... "mai ruu" with an innocent face:) Seems you still think too much in the farang way. Whenever it comes to rules like that. Don`t react until they ask you to do actively!

I found this page on the DDC website that has a QR code. But it just downloads the WeChat app. And to register for WeChat you need to know someone who is already a WeChat user.

Had same experience Saturday evening returning from Australia. Visa exempt so had my bht 20k, proof of residence and ticket out of Thailand within the 30 days.

IO guy didn't ask to see anything, just stamped me in for 30 days. 

Had also downloaded AOT app for T8 and completed. Seemed like a very good idea but IO guy was just shrugged his shoulders when l tried to show him, as if "what do you want me to do about it?"

I did submit online after completing and got the approved tick. Perhaps l'll get a home visit during the next 2 weeks if anyone on plane comes up positive?

You shouldn't have shown anything at immigration until being asked to.

Yes, that's the general idea.

So, with this app, is it neccessary to stay in the same place/hotel/home (i.e. a proper quarantine) or is it just for tracking movements (so they know where you have been in case you end up infected)?

 

My mum has just arrived and everyone had to install this app before they would be allowed through immigration. She seems to think she can leave the house.

I have been wondering that too. So far I get the idea that its for the latter, which is tracking movements. Otherwise I been wondering how are we suppose to report our symptoms and location which is by far a mystery.  Perhaps that feature of reporting isn't implemented beyond just the T8 form.

I have discovered there is this daily health form on the AOT app where the T8 form is. Have tried it but it hasn't worked yet due to some development issues.
