    I found it online. I just wanted covid specific insurance only, since I buy travelers insurrance in the US that includes medical, dental, a million dollar air ambulance evacuation and other travel related insurrance. I'll soon find out, I submitted the letter with my visa application.

    2C2P is the Company I bought it through. I only got a receipt for payment from them which included a policy # and coverage amount. No certificate and it's been 3 days now. So a little nervous about it.

    I mailed my passport to the LA consulate this morning. Now to work on my COE. I purchased my airfare yesterday. I usually fly EVA, nervous about the tensions between Taiwan and China. Qatar just started flying out of Seattle and some pretty good prices on Biz, although a lot longer trip. Just more time to drink it up before quarantine. So will try Qatar.

    That was the thing I liked about Axa, they give you a specific Covid Insurance Certificate to flash at the airport.

    I finally figure it out,
    with the new regulations an procedures to come to Thailand, they are going after the masochist segment of the tourism crowd.
    We have send so many documents my printer run out of ink LOL, I am not exaggerating.
    What tourist other those who crave pain an punishment will go through all this shit to vacation in Thailand ?
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    I'm a little nervous about it now only received a receipt no certificate. Anybody familiar with this company. The letterhead had 2C2P.
    Dhipaya is a well known insurance company, they've been in the business for a long time and they won't cheat you.
    2C2P is an card payment platform for internet sales making it easier for companies to sell over internet without having to handle credit card payments on their own web site, 2C2P won't cheat you.

    Contact Dhipaya and ask them to send a copy of the certificate to your email. It will probably take forever to get the certificate through snail mail to US.

    Thanks Lom, you put my mind at ease. The only problem the letter only lists a telephone number and no email.

    I bought a Thai Smile flight last week for the 26th April and they've already cancelled the flight and put me on another one THREE times.

    And it's actually circled back to the time I was originally flying.

    Fucking hell they are useless.

    So the Embassy did not accept your US based insurance?

    I send them a letter from my BCBS stating that I was covered in Thailand in accordance with US covid coverage regulations. I received an Email back saying that I need to send them a covid insurance certificate, no other explanation, Perhaps the email was generated before they got my insurance letter. I tried calling, but no one is answering or returning calls.
    So I called BCBS and explained the situation to them , They gave me another letter saying that I have unlimited coverage in Thailand, .
    But this week the Embassy is closed for Songkran so we will see,
    It would piss me of to no end if after having top notch insurance , that covers me in Thailand, and being vaccinated, so very little chance of getting covid, they make me buy their Mickey Mouse covid Insurance.

    I just mailed my visa package in they will receive it tomorrow. On the Consulate e-Visa on my dashboard where I loaded up the covid proof of insurance there was a note I had the minimal coverage. Most of the Covid Policies are for medical coverage too, thats why they are so expensive. I have my US medical Insurance that will reimburse me for all medical costs incurred in Thailand. I also purchase a comprehensive travel insurance mainly for the million dollar air ambulance coverage, which includes medical (I also included this policy to demonstrate I wouldn't be a burdon on the Thai Health scheme). So the last thing I need is some 3rd world medical coverage of questionable coverage. So I bought the cheapest throw away policy so that I could meet the visa requirement.

    So are the Thai Embassy and the LA Consulate closed this week for Songkran? That's really going to screw things up for me, I'm scheduled to leave early May.

    One of the requirements of Entry is to install the Thailand Plus app on your smartphone, using your COE application number and the COE Reference Coe (when you get it - it's quite self explanatory).

    Early incarnations of Thailand track and trace apps had horrendous overuse of permissions, but they appear to have sorted that now.

    It requires:

    Physical Activity
    Location

    Camera permission is "Ask if required" (You take your photo to put in the app, presumably so if they *do* want to check it's you they can see it on your phone).

    Nothing serious there.

    It does turn on bluetooth so you might want to keep an eye on your battery.

    Added it and is says I am "Very Low Risk" which is understandable since I'm working from home in the sandpit.

    Given that the entire country is heading towards an immediate and national lockdown awaiting a surge in the infection rate that is expected to overwhelm the health system and no doubt will precipitate the country's addition to the embargoed list, just why would anyone visit?

    Once this songkran travesty ends, expect a national prohibition on travel between chanwats, closure of all public venues and beaches, and my poxy swimming pool, a curfew from 2200-0500 hrs and, horror of horrors, a ban on alcohol.

    ^^^^^ Harry, I had to install that app for my quarantine and I had to update my temperature on it twice a day (as well as to my nurse on LINE) and as you say every time I did this it turned on Bluetooth.

    It's a well dodgy app... reckoned I was 'obese' which is way off the mark.

    ^ No, actually I think not.

    I remember that it kept turning on my Bluetooth to update my temperature and I couldn't work out why.

    This one doesn't appear to have any options to report temperature or anything else.

    Bluetooth is turned on for contract tracing and to warn you that you are in proximity to an infected person.

    That's if every fucker used it of course.

    Thailand approves 8 vaccines for foreign travellers seeking shortened quarantine


    Thailand has approved a total of 8 Covid-19 jabs for vaccinated tourists hoping to avail of reduced quarantine on arrival in the Kingdom. Despite a third wave of infections gripping the country, officials are pinning their hopes on the return of international visitors in order to revive the decimated tourism sector. In 2019, approximately 40 million foreign visitors to Thailand contributed over 60 billion US dollars in revenue.


    The 8 approved vaccines are the Chinese Sinovac and Sinopharm jabs, along with AstraZeneca, SK Bioscience, Pfizer-BioNTech SE, Serum Institute of India, Johnson & Johnson, and Moderna. However, in a move likely to further complicate already complex arrangements, people intending to visit Thailand will need to be vaccinated no less than 14 days before travel.

    Vaccinated tourists will be required to upload their certificates of vaccination on the Foreign Ministry’s website before arrival, after which they can avail of a reduced quarantine period of 7 days. Unvaccinated arrivals will be subject to 10-day quarantine, while arrivals from several countries, including South Africa, will have to endure 14-day quarantine.


    Foreign visitors will also require a certificate of entry, a valid visa, adequate health insurance and a negative Covid-19 test result.


    Tourism officials in Thailand are desperately hoping foreign visitors will still want to enjoy the country’s beaches, temples, culture, and food, and are pinning everything on a reduction in mandatory quarantine. The quarantine requirement is widely seen as the biggest obstacle for foreign visitors. Prior to the latest outbreak, the southern island of Phuket was hoping to waive quarantine entirely for vaccinated arrivals from July. It remains to be seen if this will still go ahead.

    That's bullshit, they have had that as a criteria since they first announced reduced quarantine for the vaccinated.

    Since you aren't considered at full immunity until 14 days after the second dose, it's quite reasonable, and you have to put your vaccination dates and certificate into the COE system, so it is easy to see if you will be doing 7 or 10 days.

    Foreign visitors will also require a certificate of entry, a valid visa, adequate health insurance and a negative Covid-19 test result.
    And you won't get a COE if you haven't got the appropriate ASQ booked.
