Covid passports from 1 Oct still on or no?

[TPDH]

Hey

 

First they announced that there will be COVID passports from 1 Oct. Then I saw some news that they scrapped it because the restaurant industry didn't like it. Will COVID passports be required to enter some venues in Bangkok from 1 Oct? If so, for which venues do you need one? 

Thanks.

My understanding is the purpose of the yellow book passport is for international travel…
 

domestically, you can use your 2 dose paper certificate or your phone digital passport via ministry of public health if you don’t get or need the yellow passport 

[Peterphuket]

But about the yellow book, is it true you can only get it in BKK and not in another Provincial Public Health Office?

I am in Hua Hin and will get my Vaccination book thru Hua Hin Hospital this Friday. 50 Baht, information desk lady took copies of paper and vaccine certified letter. Except for the lines to pay the 50 Baht, an easy process. 

[TPDH]

So if you're not fully vaccinated or have a negative covid test you can't enter restaurants?

Additionally - what of those who’ve been vaccinated overseas, they have a certificate recognised for international travel (and arrival into Thailand under the SandBox Scheme) - will those certificates be recognised by authorities issuing the ‘Yellow Vaccine Passport’ ???

 

As other countries have done... a simple App, similar to Mor Chana would work which also states vaccine status. 

 

But, simple elegant and effective solutions are not followed in Thailand because ultimately people don’t want to and know they are just temporary measures from the latest official who wanted his bit of media attention.

It’s amazing how many people are in favor of getting this. This will be just the beginning of future mandates.

Then don't get it and stay longer in quarantine. I mean your choice. I am amazed at how people seem to think they can dictate the rules of foreign governments.

I suspect you only need to be dressed and have money.

Thanks to this world of tough men who go to vaccinate as soon as someone pull on their leash, we can be sure that the government will try...

With what they have already accepted, if I was in charge, I would even force them to wear a real dog collar.

Too many farangs are over-thinking this and worrying, if the restaurant, business, etc won't let you in, walk away and find a place that will accept you, it's not the end of the world.

I got mine in CM. I needed to show my passport and certificate of vaccination (and provide a copy of each), and fill a form. No picture needed. 5 days, 50 baht.

I scanned and emailed the yellow book ("covid-19 certificate of vaccination") to the authority in charge in my country, and got back the next day the so-called Green Pass (needed for many indoor venues, trains, planes, travel to other EU countries). 12 months validity from my second vaccination. I had 2x AZ.

 

ps: sorry to disappoint all the "Thai jabs are not recognized" folks.

I think there's quite a few places recognise them now.  What country issued your "Green Pass"?

Amazing how sheep people are here, nobody protesting against it.

How much active protesting have you personally done against it? Just refusing to go along with it is barely even passive protesting...actually leaning towards sheepish.

Well unless I get a yellow vaccination passport I won't be able to return to my country when they lift the 14 day quarantine rules. 

 

Also as far as me getting into restaurants, cinema's and the like requiring verification that I have been vaxed, I certainly won't be using them, even if that means not eating out and the like, more money in my pocket until they lift it. 

 

The above said, international airlines will get a peak.

An anonymous, (supposed) adult on the internet that resorts to condescension and name calling when he disagrees with other people's views. Yeah, you sound like the person everyone should follow. But then that would just be more compliance, wouldn't it?

I might accept a Covid passport for international travel but no way am i using one just to get a beer or a meal. If they want one well bye bye.

Don’t worry. Nanny state will take care of you. Just follow what you’re told.
 

It’s just a little bit longer of lockdown. Just need to wear your masks a little bit longer. Just need to get vaccinated. Just need to get a vaccine passport. Just need a booster shot. Just need some more booster shots. Just need your vaccine passport to buy things.

Some Burger Kings in the USA are already refusing to serve any customers without their mark of the beast.

How fitting that antivaxxers known for their lack of intelligence and mistrust of science take an other fairytale book to make their point. 

 

Give me Darwin any day seems he takes care of more and more of those antivaxxers. A clear victory for science over ignorance.

 

Its amazing reading about prominent antivaxxers dying of covid, last one a Dutch strongest man competitor and died son in hospital both vocal antivaxxers. When the son was asked if he and his dad were vaxed He said it did not matter because with a vaccine you can die too. Shows me how dumb the antivaxxers are.

All these are very confusing and not explained properly. Why do we need a vaccine passport if we were vaccinated in Thailand?

 

There are many who were not vaccinated inside Thailand so they don't have the Mor Prom vaccination cert.

So the purpose of the Thai vaccine passport is to convert to another vaccine passport (Green Pass in the case of EU) in other countries?

 

So EU won't accept the local vaccination certificate issued at the hospital?

Is the yellow book the same yellow book as the "International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis" as you can get all your vaccination written/stamped in?

Thanks Felt

Usually the bigger chain of restaurants will enforce this like McDonald, KFC, Burger King.... only the small eateries won't enforce this.
