(Photo by Romeo GACAD / AFP) The Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will not scrap the “Thailand Pass” scheme, as has been widely anticipated, but will shorten the registration process for overseas tourists applying to enter Thailand as the “Test and Go” one-night quarantine scheme for the fully vaccinated is scheduled to come to an end on May 1, CCSA assistant spokesperson Sumanee Wacharasint said today (Thursday). Dr. Sumanee added, however, that when COVID-19 situation in the country steadily improves, the CCSA may consider further easing of restrictions.

Making a holiday a list of chores... Good riddance, Thailand! Do they really think that tourists are so desperate to travel to Thailand? Perhaps expats and returning Thais, but 5 or 6 million tourists? Haha... Edited April 28, 2022 by StayinThailand2much 25 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 From the 1st of May there are 3 documents to check. - Passport - Proof of Vaccination - Insurance certificate Under Thailand Pass there are more documents to check. - Passport - Proof of Vaccination - Insurance certificate - The Thailand Pass itself For anyone who has ever travelled under the Thailand pass knows that having the pass alone is not sufficient, at the check in Airport, at the transit airport and upon arrival ALL documents are fully checked making the Thailand Pass itself utterly superfluous. At one point the idea may have made sense, but the system was clumsy and flawed what seemed to be the intention of ‘just being able to flash a QR code’ (like an electronic boarding pass) never materialised... the Thailand pass just turned out to be an additional step on top of securing the required documents. Perhaps the only use it did have was to ensure people had the right documents which would all be checked on arrival anyway... (time wasting). And now... There really is no need at all for the Thailand pass, none whatsoever. We can easily carry a vaccine and insurance certificate... Thats all thats needed. 25 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jonclark Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 I really didn't think Thailand Pass was a massive hassle when I last used it. Just do it well in advance. Did I think it was useful ..not really. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Karma80 Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 Prepare for another flip flop in the morning, then another just after lunch. Malaysia just scrapped testing pre-departure and on arrival for vaccinated travellers. No masks outdoors. No tracing app. Thai Pass is a ridiculous block for people to come and go freely at this point. It's meant to now just confirm vaccination status and insurance. Except you don't just scan a QR code and on your way. Nope. You'll be showing all the documents you needed to apply for Thai Pass and the Thai Pass. 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UKPaul67 Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Having been through thaipass 2 times now, I was expecting it to be dumped, yet again they fall behind the rest of the world. Tourists just don't want the chappy thaipass, even with it they still have to fill in TM6 on the plane. They have no idea what they are doing, except publish bull numbers of expectations of tourists. The 2 times I have arrived, 20% were maybe tourists the rest returning expats and thais. ???? Edited April 28, 2022 by UKPaul67 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ALL about control, enriching them and theirs, and fashioning the unfortunate Thailand into how they would want to see it and screw everyone else.

Idiots just can't seem to resist inserting fishhooks So now I'm pondering ... even if the thpass update looks OK & I go ahead & book The quarantine risk is still there even when you have no symptoms People have been allowed to quarantine at home / hotel. There was a post in this forum. A couple refused to go to the Quarantine hotel after one of them tested positive & were allowed to walk out of their T&G hotel & walk home (isolated there). Its probably going to be different for everyone & depends a lot on the hotel I imagine. As far as the ‘close contact thing’ that’s just theatre… nothing is being done about that. I’ve been in and out of Thailand all year. No issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thailand Time) All moot as well.. as those ‘steps’ (vaccine cert & insurance) are triple checked at every step of the journey in anyway !!! 4 documents needed: - Flight ticket - Passport - Insurance cert - Vaccine Cert / OR 5 Day ASQ booking That’s as difficult as it ever needs to be !!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, I guess we will need to see what COVID brings as we head into the winter months. I'm pretty sure the situation won't be the same as it is now, and nearly every single one of the potential tourists will not have been vaccinated for a year by then. All or nothing - my money is on nothing - this country deserves to pay for its incompetence. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
