So who's got pople posting this shit on social meeja to divert from the fact they keep getting caught trying to smuggle infected cheap labour in from neighbouring countries then I wonder?

ferking joke

going on a 30 day TR visa and the want to see documents for bank for 6 months, well done Thailand you are totally ferking yourselves

Brit citizen

Why the visa when there is 30 day visa exempt? Are you looking at converting to long stay?

This was the bit i was struggling with, it didn't make sense.

Well after 2 hours of waiting i hang up, and ring back and get told there are 59 callers waiting in front of me.

One of the questions I've been waiting to ask them.

Unless you need to come now, Give it a couple of week, let them iron out the bugs, and get used to the new system.

I know exactly how you feel.
We went through the same process last spring when they reduced the quarantine from 14 to 7 , we booked a flight for May 6th and a few days before flying they changed it back to 14 days quarantine again if arriving after the 6th
We would have arrived six hours after the delaine LOL
So we changed our flight and got in just under the deadline , but it was stressful.
So given the uncertain covid circumstances it is good to have a flexible flight plans.

Wise move mate. Contrary to the nonsense headlines claiming Thailand is open for business 1 Nov, it clearly is not. The only real change is the length of quarantine.

A practical opening will be when you can come on visa on arrival, with a jab cert and negative test. Until then don't expect tourists to go through this convoluted bs process.

With luck 4th quarter 2022.

The only good thing so far was the price of the round trip ticket from Atlanta on Qatar going thru Doha to Bangkok. Best price deal I've had in years.

It's not visa on arrival. It's Visa exemption.

People who've already got COE's for after Nov 1st have been able to update theirs which now show they need the one day AQ booking. They can now get refunds for their ASQ.

Of course I also read of some bunch of cuntos in Phuket that said they can't refund the SHA booking because "their system doesn't support it".

I've got a ton of unused miles on Qatar which I think I'll use for a trip back to the motherland next year.
