Preparing to Return to Thailand - by Richard Barrow

[Manforallseasons]

Providing you keep your expectations low you should be fine.

There seems to be some misunderstanding about booking flights.

You do NOT need to send a copy of your ticket to obtain the Thai Pass. You just enter details.
That’s all I had to do.

No need to buy the ticket first. Obviously the longer you leave booking the ticket the more it will cost.

If you later decide on a different date then presumably you will have to get another Thai Pass, but they are free.

It's probably been pasted here before, but this may help.

Requirements for Test and Go Travelers

Even though you are a fully vaccinated traveler, from an approved country traveler, and are traveling by air traveler, you are still required to show required documents to Thai authorities to be granted entry in Thailand.

Here are the requirements that a Test and Go traveler must have:

Thailand Pass QR Code

You will need to obtain a QR Code that will be received upon approval after applying for a Thailand Pass. Provide all the necessary details and upload documents that are asked and wait for confirmation or approval for you to receive a QR Code which will be scanned upon arrival in Thailand.

Certificate of Vaccination

You will need to obtain a Certificate of Vaccination for proof that you are a fully vaccinated traveler.

Know that the certificate of vaccination will be only be accepted if the vaccines you have received are approved by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) or by the World Health Organization (WHO). And it shall be at least 14 days before your scheduled travel date.

For children that are under the age of 12, they will not be required to be vaccinated as long as their parent or guardian is vaccinated and have a certificate of vaccination.

Medical Certificate for COVID-19 Test Result

To enter Thailand, you are required to have a negative result. The result shall be issued within 72 hours of the travel date and the test shall be an RT-PCR test.

If you have just recovered from COVID-19, you will need a Certificate of Recovery. It will serve as proof that you have recovered from COVID-19 at least 3 months already.

COVID-19 Insurance

You will have to purchase COVID-19 insurance that will cover the costs of COVID-19 related incidents in case one gets infected during the stay in Thailand.

The COVID-19 insurance must have a minimum coverage of $50,000. For COVID-19 insurance that you can trust, AXA Sawasdee Thailand is the best option.

Here's something that popped up on my Youtbe feed that may be interesting to some here:

It will be interesting to see how many European countries remain in the “no quarantine” list at Thailand’s next review which I understand is soon.
Austria anyone?

Europe. Where defeat was aggressively wrestled from the arms of victory by a new form of terrorist know as anti-vaxxers. Some 1930s style Tutonic justice would be in.order for them..

When I get a quote from https://direct.axa.co.th/TA-Inbound/CoverageOptionPlan,
it's 2000 THB for 30 days or 3700 THB for 60 days for Plan 1 (the cheapest available). Might vary with age.

main exclusions:
3. Terrorism.
7. While the Insured is taking part in a brawl or taking part in inciting a brawl.

That means becoming a victim of a terrorist attack or a brawl is not insured!
It's different from insured "Medical Expense due to Accident or Sickness" but still, it's out of my power not to become a victim of a terrorist attack or a brawl.

Personal Accident Loss of Life, Dismemberment, Loss of Sight or Total Permanent Disability 1,000,000
It doesn't say which currency. The premium is quoted in THB, but this must be 1 mUSD as 1 mTHB is less than 50 kUSD. Does the contract you receive state this clearly?

It's being reported on some Thai sites that the Thai Government is looking at re-introducing 14 day quarantine for all travellers from countries in which the new SA variant is found. Which sooner or later is going to be most countries.

Does anyone still question why you cannot book Thailand well in advance?
