As per midnight Thai time on 1st March it was possible to apply for the infamous Thai pass without proof of day 5 paid hotel booking. Chapeau! They must be desperate for money

But the non acceptance of .pdf files just shows where the country stands. Will be interesting the "ambiance" given the unavoidable Omicron rise, if not being put to Corona jail upon arrival.
I did not find any reference on the Moo(r why this r in all this หมอ) Chana app. It appears that it is strongly encouraged, but not legally mandatory.
Wish me good luck for my last ever trip to Thailand. เหยียดหยาม & เซ็ง
