    Yeah, just so you know, if the "Thaiger" are saying it, it's going to be laced with clickbait.





    Actually not laced, drenched.

    Apisamai says participating hotels have been advised of all conditions pertaining to the Thailand Pass system and foreign arrivals who have not purchased a limousine service from the airport to their hotel, as well as a second PCR test, will be denied approval to enter the country.
    One of the problems I can see is that they are doing test and go under two arrangements:

    Phuket and everywhere else.

    In Phuket the tests are administered in the airport and purchased separately, as is transport. You can ASK the hotel to book them for you, but it is not their responsibility.

    In Bangkok, they are included in the AQ booking.

    Since your Quarantine booking is one of the required uploads for ThailandPass, perhaps in their rush to automate approvals they have left a bit of a gap........?

    Also note the BP article does not state where these passengers are landing.

    I'm pretty sure the officials at the airport have a certain "the officers can demand additional ..." as per your local TIO.

    It seems Test & Go may be reduced to a simple, Cambodia-style ATK on arrival.

    Entering Thailand may get easier next month

    I arrived at Bangkok this morning. They check Thailand Pass, PCR Test and immigration form prior to going to immigration. The immigration was quicker than usual with English speaking staff as well as immigration officer. Early morning so not crowded.
    Hotel did PCR test before entering reception. They also have form asking to download Morchana and stating it isn't working yet but will be fixed soon. I downloaded and registered OK with Thailand Pass. The PCR test result should be added but they give paper in case app fails.
    Also you get an antigen kit that you need to do on day 6-7 and upload result to the app.
    All was a lot smoother than anticipated.

    Not needed for Test & Go. Just email the result to your hotel and it will get deleted eventually.

    After downloading the app, you need to add a selfie a d scan the Thailand Pass QR code to register. The app is in English and Thai only. When I tried to register the wife on her phone in Thai it failed after giving consent to use data. It then went back to start in English and worked okay.

    I didn't know about antigen on day 6 before. I do like the idea though and will report if it is accepted by the app. We brought antigen kits with us to use about that time anyway, now we can use more for New Year party.

    Are you talking about the Morchana app?

    Most hotels are reporting that it cannot be uploaded to Morchana, and just to email them the result.

    But they're only doing that because they're confusing sandbox with T&G and don't know what the fuck it is for.

    I arrived in Bangkok last Friday. No one said anything nor have I been informed in writing at any time of downloading ThaiPass app Morchana app or told me to take an antigen self test. Unless I get some kind of official notification I'm ignoring all this noise.

    Dismiss it from your mind - nobody's been checked for it for months.

    Omicron Netherlands: 13 air passengers test positive for new variant

    The new coronavirus variant Omicron has been detected in 13 people who arrived in the Dutch capital Amsterdam on two flights from South Africa.

    They are among 61 passengers who tested positive for coronavirus.

    It comes as tighter restrictions come into force in the Netherlands, amid record Covid cases and concerns over the new variant.

    This includes early closing times for hospitality and cultural venues, and limits on home gatherings.

    Omicron was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) by South Africa on Wednesday, and early evidence suggests it has a higher re-infection risk. It has been categorised by the WHO as a "variant of concern".

    The flights by Dutch national carrier KLM from Johannesburg arrived at 10:30 and 11:00 local time (09:30 and 10:00 GMT) on Friday. Some 600 passengers were held for several hours after arrival while they were tested for the virus.

    The passengers who tested positive for Covid-19 have been quarantined at a hotel near Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

    Those that tested negative have been asked to isolate at home for five days and take further tests, while those in transit were allowed to continue their journeys.

    Following the announcement of the 13 Omicron cases, Dutch Health Minister Hugo de Jonge made an "urgent request" for people returning from southern Africa to get tested for Covid "as soon as possible".

    "It is not unthinkable that there are more cases in the Netherlands," he told reporters.

    Cases of the new variant have also been confirmed in the UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Botswana, Israel and Hong Kong.

    A number of countries around the world have now banned or restricted flights to and from South Africa and several neighbouring nations in response to the new variant.
