    ^ there is talk amongst many countires of adding a booster as a requirement on top of the initial two vaccines, but given the ease with which you got your first in Norway and second in the UK that shouldn't prove a problem.

    Coincidentally, i checked online and the earliest i can get my booster is in 10 days time when i am out of country. I popped along to a walk in vaccine centre and asked if i could get my booster say 4 days early rather that wait til i get back in country when i will be 6 weeks over and i got a flat no - all for 4 days FFS. If i croak it the jobsworth bitch will be sorry

    That sucks. I asked my doctor if I could get mine 2 weeks early they said no problem. I got it a week before traveling.

    Well that was fun. My ThailandPass got rejected (after 7 days) because I used the Agoda booking number for my hotel.

    So I resubmitted and it gave me an "API error". I used the handy tip of adding a couple of spaces to the UK passport number and it went through.

    I noticed then that I had two confirmation emails in my inbox, so I sent them an email explaining that I thought the first one had failed because of the error message, and they could ignore it.

    This morning I have two different ThailandPass (as in approved) QR codes in my email.

    The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth

    Agreed. I have already booked (and paid for) a Moderna booster in March 2022 in Udon Thani.

    In Oz they are giving pfizer boosters after 6 months. I will certainly be lining up at the appropriate time.
    Nice to see you posting Humbert.

    same in the UK, just they don't seem to be able to give them a few days early as it appears 2-4 days ruins their effect, or maybe its just the computer says no and the daft mare can't possibly make a decision

    Having my booster today. It was the earliest date I could book and is 1 day before 6 months since the second jab so I guess they're consistent.

    I just spoke to a mate in Norway. This morning he applied for a Thailand Pass to enter on 16th December on a flight from Norway. He had the successful application email 1 minute after the application acknowlegement email. That must be entirely automated.

    I don't suppose the conflicting information they've been providing plays any part in this?

    Some hotels deceiving travellers with Thailand Pass packages


    Some hotels are deceiving visitors from overseas, taking room reservations but omitting transport from the airport and Covid-testing, which means they must buy a new package on arrival or be rejected.


    Apisamai Srirangson, a spokeswoman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said on Monday that some hotels misled visitors and booked them only for the room.


    The charge did not include a limousine service from the airport to the hotel or the RT-PCR Covid-19 test on arrival, even though both were required as conditions of entry on a Thailand Pass.


    However, the hotels gave misleading details, which were used by the applicant for QR approval for a Thailand Pass via the foreign ministry's web portal.


    On arrival they then had to buy a new package or be denied entry.


    Some hotels did not give refunds to visitors who then cancelled their room reservation and bought a package elsewhere, Dr Apisamai said.


    Thailand Pass replaced the certificate of entry (CoE) on Nov 1 when the kingdom reopened to visitors. It requires visitors to have been fully vaccinated, have a clean RT-PCR test within 72 hours before boarding their flight and have US$50,000 health insurance.


    Visitors from 61 countries and two territories in the "Test and Go" programme must have a limousine service from the airport directly to their hotel without a stopover, and at their hotel must be tested for Covid-19 right away by staff from specified hospitals, Dr Apisamai said.


    "Some visitors booked hotel rooms via websites and did not buy limousine service, RT-PCR Covid-19 testing and antigen test kits," she said.


    Officials had informed hotel booking websites in advance of the conditions, and told them that air travellers who did not buy a limousine service and Covid-19 testing would be denied entry of a Thailand Pass, she said.


    "Some hotels had the packages that included limousine and Covid-19 testing, but also allowed visitors to reserve only rooms and seek RT-PCR testing themselves. This shows that such hotels intentionally deceived visitors.


    "Visitors who were unaware of the requirement and bought incomplete packages, and later had to cancel their reservation and in some cases did not receive a refund," Dr Apisamai said.


    Travellers apply for Thailand Pass by the ministry's web portal, providing documentation, and receive a QR Entry Code or Thailand Pass ID by email, which is then used upon entering Thailand.

    They'll have to get used to not having them till at least 2023, there is no confidence in foreign travel at the moment or for the foreseeable.

    I'm sure the "elite" in power don't give a shit either.

    When you only have 20/30days holiday per year, it is a big risk for those types of travelers.

    Saw an article in the Bangkok Post about this that did not cite a single fact. Nice going as usual...keeping their reputation for sloppy journalism intact.

    Blame the covid on farangs, typical Thai racist behaviour.
    Most of them believe the origins of covid were in America and not China.

    Reading what some of them write, you have to ask if they can even tie their own shoelaces.

    Harry I'd say if the CCSA are admitting the fact they are scams, I'd say yes they are.
