And it still says CoE is required yet people who have applied have been told to wait for Thailand Pass.  This is a disaster with 10 days to go and many flights booked for the first.

I'd go with the later news article posted which they say is what was gazetted. It also says you get a PCR test on arrival and get given a rapid test kit which you must carry out and complete day 6-7. That's not in the graphic either

Agree.  I fly on the first (arrive on 2nd) so have to do this just in case they don't scrap it for ThailandPass.

First page of application you must choose between sandbox or AQ.  I want neither <deleted>.  AGGGHHHH.

Wait until Monday/Tuesday next week for it to change, you're on Thailand time now which says you have plenty ????
