Jason Posted October 23, 2021 #89651 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Why is it that I see all this effort to set up the replacement to the COE, vanishing before years end? Because the only way many people will come to Thailand's if all this bureaucracy is gone. The high season only lasts so long. 3 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/7164-news-forum-thailand-pass-website-launching-accepted-from-november-2/#findComment-89651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many questions, @Kupferman, being asked by so many people and with so few understandable answers coming from the PTB. It's not good, if you'll pardon my hopeless understatement.

Johnb Posted October 23, 2021 #89792 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Will the TP be the same as the CoE ie you have to submit application on line, attach the required info eg flight details, vaccination certificates etc and then wait for it to be approved? In my case I recently submitted application for part one of CoE and then waited for 5 days before it was approved. Have abandoned this now and hoping TP will work better 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/7164-news-forum-thailand-pass-website-launching-accepted-from-november-2/#findComment-89792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritFlyer Posted October 23, 2021 #89836 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I submitted my initial COE application two days ago. I’m travelling to Phuket on 12th November so the new TP sounds easier but is there any information that says when the TP site will go live..?? The Thaiger is the best source of information I’ve found so I’ll keep watching your pages.

You can find the terms by booking with the airline directly on their own websites don't book via an agent. I looked a Singapore airlines for example and their tickets are very flexible due to the circumstances. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/7164-news-forum-thailand-pass-website-launching-accepted-from-november-2/#findComment-89887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fully vaccinated he can book an SHA+ hotel under the Sandbox program for 7 days. You must remain in the hotel until the PCR test result is returned negative. Thereafter your allowed to roam around the area for the remaining 7 days before your free to go anywhere in Thailand. (2 PCR tests - on arrival and on day 6.) If not vaccinated then your friend will need to book 10 days in an AQ hotel and will have to remain in his room for the whole 10 days. (2 PCR tests - one on arrival, one on day 8/9). 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/7164-news-forum-thailand-pass-website-launching-accepted-from-november-2/#findComment-89888 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked a Singapore airlines for example and their tickets are very flexible due to the circumstances. Thank you. I think I’ll go ahead with booking Finnair on their site, they do allow change in dates though no refund. If for some odd reasons I’m denied Thailand pass for dec at least I know I’ll be able to use it for my vacays in feb, may, aug or nov. Thailand better get the system down by then? 555 nvm lol.

I did. The chance of getting the same thing and trigger a catastrophic immune response for someone in relatively healthy state should be quite low.
