Your thoughts are correct . You can still be infected with Covid 19 even though you are fully vaccinated.  However your symptoms are likely to be much less severe than if you were unvaccinated.    Unvaccinated people ARE a risk to themselves. If they choose not to protect themselves, this (these rulings) are a means by which the authorities can reduce the chances of unvaccinated people  mixing with others and becoming infected. 

Right. Your last point makes very good sense and appears to imply that such measures can actually be, in that sense, 'beneficial' to the welfare of those unvaccinated. I hadn't, until now, really seen it like that. ????

 

Thanks G Rex. ????

Not necessarily a requirement for an extension. But maybe a requirement in order to get into the immigration offices. No green check  on the app means you can't enter immigration buildings.

No problems - I'll just wear a green dot on my sleeve that I'll purloin from the golf course. That'll confuse the muggers!

Yes this will be the only thing that works. I don't care about being denied entry to a restaurant etc but i need the visa.

Lets hope it does not get to that
i have literally just bought a big farm
and the only reason i will have to leave the farm is to go to immigration
otherwise i will literally not be planning to go anywhere.

maybe switching to elite visa may help,
but then they too could also cancel after you have paid that chunk for it

It would clear out all the backpacker types on Koh pangan.

 

Then again, they would just use illegal agents that charge 20k for a year visa.

FYI, there is a crypto community LIVING on Koh Phangan, many of whom are succesful traders or developers in the space

its wise not to judge a book by its cover.

many don't want the jab for ridiculous reasons.

Many people who have taken it
have taken it for many different reasons, except for a virus
so i can travel, keep my job, go to footy, go to clubs, can eat out, to virtue signal etc.
list goes on and on

I was not judging, just stating a fact. Most living on KPG are very anti-vax. 

I am neither saying that is good nor bad. I was a backpacker and lived on KPG in 1992.

Wife and I paid for 8 Moderna shots back in April. Two different hospitals. Cost 14,400 baht. Crickets.

 

When I get denied an extension how can I proceed with a refund?

I knew it was against the law, but charging 60k for a visa is criminal.

 That's a retirement visa for over 50s, the op was talking about backpackers who most of are under 50,no 14k visas for anyone under 50 years of age. 

[mahtin]

Can anyone tell me the name of the app that proves one is fully vaccinated?

Mor Prom

 

 

[mahtin]

Thank you.

Thought you had to have arranged for your vaccinations through that app to obtain the proof.

I had free vaccinations distributed by Bangkok Hospital Khon Kaen.

Never used the Mor Prom app.

There are also agents that are legal, but charge only 5k or so. These agents get all your paperwork in order and take you to immigration, maybe cheating the queue. The ones that charge 15k plus, bribe the officers and get you a visa you are legally not entitled too. They know corrupt officers or bank workers that falsify your bank book. There are literally 10s of thousands of illegal aliens using these services. ironically, these are the guys that usually moan of the corruption in Thailand!

Some people were able to use the 7 digit code given to them with their vaccine & by adding 60000 to the front of it were able to register on Mor Prom where their vaccine details were registered.

 

I wasn’t able so just show the cert I got showing both jabs.

The choice is yours!

I'm pretty sure that fully vaccinated foreigners will still be treated like they automatically have covid due to being foreign.
