'Thailand will consider a recommendation from an airline tycoon to reduce the steps required for international entry, by doing away the second COVID-19 test, currently required on the fifth day after arrival.'

From the Thailand Pass FAQ section : https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/conten...nd-pass-faqs-2
Q: Can I change my travel itinerary once I have registered and received my QR code? Will my QR Code remain valid?
A:
'- Yes. However, flight changes are permitted within 72 hours after the original flight time registered in the Thailand Pass without the need to apply for a new Thailand Pass QR Code, provided that all other required documents remain valid.
- For itinerary changes greater than 72 hours, you will have to edit your Thailand Pass application by accessing your application through the Thailand Pass portal using your access code. Please note that your edited application will be subjected to and undergo the review process cycle all over again'

That was my experience as well. They also insist on REALLY shoving the swab deep up your nose to the point where it hurts. I asked both nurses who administered the test to please try and not go so deep. Here in the states they just rub it in each nostril for 20 seconds

On February 23 the CCSA will decide about easing the entry requirements to Thailand. Its possible that the day 5 test will be replaced by an ATK test. Maybe that ATK test can be done by the traveller himself without supervision. A second hotel booking would not be neccessary anymore. That change could be made quite fast, i.e. from March 1.
Its very likely that there will be more changes coming up. I think, that it will be much, much easier to travel to Thailand after April 1 (my personal estimation, could be sooner),

Fingers crossed for negative tests

My Thailand pass was first approved and I got the QR code, but 2 days later I got an email that it was rejected because the second hotel did not respond.. When scanned it says Valid and Rejected. Do they scan the QR code at Qatar check-in? Applied again and now it's confirmed, but I'm worried it will go to rejected again a day before I travel
I do think there is considerable risk BKK immigration will send you back when it doesn't scan though.

How are you doing now HumbleBee? Can I ask you which insurance package you have, and do they cover your quarantine period in the hotel?

Nov 1 was when the original t&g started. They gave us an ATK when they did the arrival test on us, with instructions to use it on day 5. You were supposed to report the results in Morchana, but that didn't work for many people. We tested negative, didn't even try to report the result, though we saved them on our phones. Nobody ever asked for them. We self tested several times during our 2 month stay.

It is actually pretty simple...on day 7 after your arrival, you get a notification with a link by your App (whether you came in by old or new Test & Go or Sandbox)..with the link you open a website, where you enter LAB No and date of issue as well as a photo of your lab report...after you submit, the App turns from orange (MEDIUM RISK) to green (VERY LOW RISK)

When I entered under the old one, the ATK was supposed to be taken on Day 5 and there was no process to report it anywhere. And under current scheme, I have to go back to SHA hotel on Day 5 and quarantine until that Day 5 test result is received.
Am I missing something?
