I'll be heading back in a month and will have to apply for a Thailand Pass to synchronise with a planned crew change... but these can always get delayed by a day or two at the last minute. If I have a Thailand Pass, so long as I re-book the SHA hotel for a new date, maybe 1 or 2 days later to match my new arrival date, would that be OK or would I have to re-apply for a new Thailand Pass?

You can arrive up to 72 hours AFTER the flight arrival stated on your ThailandPass without having to apply for a new one.

Just need to remember to update the Hotel/Transfer/test and make sure your preflight PCR test result is still issued within 72 hours of your first flight departure.

^ That's great, thanks Harry.

Crew changes on this contract are a maximum of +/- 2 days from the designated day (Wednesdays)... and almost never come forward. This makes things a lot easier.

Just be aware that it doesn't apply if you arrive EARLIER than your arrival time, and they have sent people back home for arriving early.

^ Thanks, and noted.

In that case I would just have to pass an extra day in a hotel in Norway before flying. Inconvenient but certainly no real problem.

Supposedly no more post-flight testing after June 30th but no mention of ThailandPass going away.

Jeez, I'm still getting those phishing e-mails even after receiving my Thailand Pass.

Is there somewhere they can be reported, these people need locking up!

What are you receiving them on? A cloud account?

I got someone to send me one of the attachments. They're trying to install new variants of Emotet on your PC.

Nasty one. Sits there looking for banking logins...

**Troy** · 13-03-2022, 06:47 PM

^ Yes, it's a cloud account and the e-mails don't have an associated attachment. The e-mail just asks for personal details. I'd post a copy but I delete it as soon as I see it.

I would have thought the phishing would work best if they stated your pass was attached for download.

You'll find a report function somewhere in the message options.

The procedure they are using is that when you reply to the email, they send you an email with an attachment.

When you open it, it runs a Windows script to initiate the malware process.

**Troy** · 13-03-2022, 07:39 PM

^ They are sending e-mails from two separate accounts that, at first glance, appear to be from the Thai consulate. That alone should arouse suspicions of most recipients.

If I recall correctly, when I did my application in November, I received an e-mail with my Thai Pass. However, to combat this phishing the consulate provide a key code that you use to login in to obtain the pass.

My Thaipass experience recently was about 30 minutes to get the Jpegs sorted and everything uploaded, accepted first time and took 2 hours to get approved and the QR code.

This is good to know. I read recently that they say Covid will become endemic come June. With the amount of cases currently, I sure hope things improve and they can drop both the post flight testing and the Thailand pass if they want to improve tourism. I would like to go in August if things are better and more open.

**harrybarracuda** · 14-03-2022, 05:27 PM

They didn't say it will become endemic, they said they intend to treat it as endemic. Not sure it will happen if they don't take the handbrake off and let it rip.

only 1 hurdle left now and that is the fit to fly pcr test.

**harrybarracuda** · 17-03-2022, 09:30 AM

Can't confirm it yet but I am told Cambodia is to drop all testing and require only the usual tourist e-visa to enter.

Although they have recently made it more difficult to convert a tourist visa to something more long term.

**Shutree** · 17-03-2022, 11:08 AM

Malaysia says it will open to fully vaccinated people on April 1st. (This says UK only) However, they previously announced March 15th so we'll need to wait and see:

From 1 April, fully vaccinated arrivals travelling in Malaysia from the UK will no longer be required to quarantine.

Double-jabbed tourists will also be exempt from applying to enter the country via the MyTravelPass scheme.

However, they must still download and install the MySejahtera contact tracing app, complete a pre-departure form, and pay for a PCR test two days before departure and an antigen test upon arrival.

This one just says 'foreigners':

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH PROTOCOLS FOR FOREIGNERS ENTERING MALAYSIA?

Beginning Apr 1, foreigners entering Malaysia with valid travel documents do not need to undergo quarantine, so long as they are fully vaccinated.

The requirement for foreigners to apply to enter Malaysia using the MyTravelPass application will also be lifted.

Instead, they only need to download and activate the MySejahtera contact tracing app and fill up a pre-departure form in the app.

PM: COVID testing requirements relaxed to facilitate investment, business and tourism and to save money

3 mins ago - BREAKING NEWS

"PM Hun Sen has stated today that the Royal Government of Cambodia decided to cancel the PCR test requirement for entering Cambodia and allow the resumption of visas on arrival to boost Cambodia’s investment, business and tourism – as well as saving money on test equipment and medical equipment.

The PM was speaking on the occasion of the inauguration of “SOS Children’s Village” in Prey Veng on the morning of March 17, 2022.

The PM stated that the abolition of the requirements for PCR and rapid tests will also facilitate the travel of Cambodians, both by reducing the pain of the nasal swab and the cost of testing.

The PM confirmed that through this test, the Royal Government spends a lot of money per day on test equipment and medical equipment.
The PM added, “The lack of [testing] is not just about having a runny nose, it costs money every day. The Royal Government spends a lot of money, including testing equipment, testing clothes […] We facilitate this problem. To attract investment, business and tourism in Cambodia. These are the points where we continue to move forward with the goal of developing living with COVID 19. ”

Although the new COVID-19 mutation virus has a high incidence, the mortality rate is low.
In particular, in the last few days, the rate of cases, as announced by the Ministry of Health, has gradually dropped to around 100 cases per day, with one death, and some days no deaths.
At the same time, The PM reiterated his call for the people to continue to protect themselves from COVID 19 through 3 health rules, 3 protection, and those who need to be vaccinated should get the COVID 19 vaccine."

No they wont Mike, hopefully you as they should realize there is a much bigger picture. Peanuts being made by a few hotels now. Billions being lost by the tourism industry as a whole.

**aging one** · 17-03-2022, 03:42 PM

One hour after posting the above I saw this in the Post. Perhaps the most thought out plan yet. It just may happen, and will work I would think. So Good News!!

Pre-travel tests to be dropped

**Mendip** · 17-03-2022, 04:02 PM

I hope there's something definite announced soon AO.

I'm due off this boat on 6th April and it would be great to just head direct to an airport without wasting a day in a hotel in Norway first to get a PCR test.
