Thread: Thailand quarantine and entry conditions

What about the UK. The NHS pass ? no mention of this

Good to know that the VaxCert of PH is accepted there.

@malmomike - the UK NHS app & cert is accepted in PH. You can plan for a holiday when tourists are allowed. Heh.

For yours and others sake, I hope the NHS pass is allowed in TH. Good luck & safe travels.

Probably why it reads

Thailand Pass Hotels


This is not the official website for the Thailand Pass system.
For the official website please enter https://tp.consular.go.th/

It's allowed Katie, just not auto-approved. Has to be looked at by someone.

Or perhaps just more comfortable speaking to someone who can speak fluent Thai....

Seems the Thais ineptitude is really Brexit's fault

Definitely the Russkies

Definitely annoying that there is no mention of the NHS QR code. Ridiculous.

CHICO

'Just received my QR code, after application got rejected because of hotel info, sent same again,got GF to ring this number 02 203 5000 and within 20 minutes they sent.

This number seems to be very helpful, and i recommend getting a Thai to telephone, Thais are always more comfortable with speaking to Thais.'




Thanks for that. I have just applied Thursday with 4weeks to go until I fly, I am not that concerned. Just annoyed that the NHS QR code doesn't automatically work, f'ing typical.

Glad you got your QR code, have a safe trip!

You've plenty of time Buddy, sure all will be good soon for all.

Prayuth, spoke this morning, so can imagine its set to go now.

The number I posted they are very helpful.

Wife wanted to go.

"Number 3 problem or not ?"

"Do you want to go in december ? "

"No this month"


I know that it won't pay to argue with her as she haven't seen her family for two years.

Then she changed it for december and the back to the 7-11. Still some time to run on.

1-11 I got a SMS from the test center and thought it to be a mistake.

I called her and asked if I should cancel it. No

She had a test 2-11, because......

She had decided to go on the 3-11 anyway.

I had a bit of printing to do


Last sunday I went to a birthday and was told on 1-11 evening, that 4 folks there had tested positive for Coruna.

I had a lot of negative vibes coming my way, when I told her.


She got through to Khon Kaen though, and now I sit here in my own little sea of Tranquility

Again thanks for the number and yes I am sure I will be fine. I imagine they are trying to get all the last minute applications through so people do not miss their flights.

On the whole, I think they have and are doing a good job. I am glad so many people are going as the economy really needs a boost no matter how small.

PS. Always loved your avatar but I swear I had seen in pre 2016???

I'd say things have settled down, but no things have been shocking, They've had a long time to plan and get ready to open, they could of had a soft opening before and sorted out all the bugs etc etc.

Tell you, if I didn't have to return I wouldn't.....

Avatar photo, was taken around 2017 if I remember correctly.

The e-mail came from Agoda, not from the hotel. The Booking receipt also came from Agoda but it states all the information regarding pickup and PCR test. It also states it is pre-paid. This is different to the first booking that I nearly made, which did not ask for payment at time of booking. I also double checked the hotel was SHA+ on the website and prepaid before make the final booking.

It looks like the booking confirmation e-mail is not good enough and you must have the receipt and details in an attached pdf.

This evening I did my wife's application for her and this also used my hotel booking, which was for two adults and names her in the attached document. My wife got her Thailand Pass within about 20 seconds of submission. It was probably the same time for me yesterday, just seemed quicker because we were expecting to have to wait.

I guess the next step is to download the app ThailandPlus. Has anyone downloaded this since 1st November? I could only find instructions based on entering the COE and was hoping someone could provide a link to instructions for using with the Thailand Pass. Apologies if this has already been posted and I missed it.

I've received communication from the tpconsular link on LINE.

All have said the same thing. Confirmation pending review. Will be fine. Huge volume slowing things down. Prioritizing QR confirmations by flight dates.

And yet you still get the odd idiot on Facetube saying "no-one will come".

In their defence, would you trust a country with such low vaccination figures?
A less than cynical look at global media tells us that the world is populated with equal numbers of vaccinated, and vaccine hesitant customers.
It follows that at least 50% of applicants for Thai Pass are as trustworthy as Thai statistics. Thailand has yet to reach the stalling phase of vaccine figures, when hesitancy and human rights nutters grind the vax programme to a halt!

All it takes is a delta or delta plus attack, and the pandemic will surge again.
Thailand is too dependent on tourism, and Prayeuth lacks patience with a disease he clearly failed to understand.

The success or failure of the Thai scheme is already gaining plaudits from those who don’t understand the vagaries of any Thai system. That is a real danger for other ASEAN countries facing a similar deadlock with Covid-19.

My hotel is getting 500+ T&G bookings a day and has now doubled their rate from when I booked.
