Well they have listed ONE day test n go prices AND admitted to PCR-transport costs

Makes me laugh as 600-1500bt transport on island --somebody let the truth slip out on that one

How do the locals make it from airport to hotel--Id be tailgating these folks if I landed there

The sad reality is, that the Thailand Travel Pass is just not tourist friendly. 

It is the COE to all intent and purpose. Even when it runs smoothly, which currently,  as I understand it, it is not. Documents which need to be uploaded are in the main PDF format, and the system does not work with PDF files.

I'm told,  that you can work round this, with some clever app, but it's a pain and  chewy. It's not in my view, a friendly process.

There will be many, with good money to spend, who like myself view computers as a toy, or something that your secretary plays with, and in retirement we have no interest in.

Get rid of the crap, and take our money.

Take pictures of your document with your phone - hey presto jpg files which are fine. No app required
