there are many reports on reddit of them being accepted AND it is stated on the Thai Pass application:"If RT-PCR result is positive or detected then a recovery certificate or proof of covid recovery for at least 14 days before travelling but less than 90 days from the first date of detection is required"
Yes, I think it's fair to say that there is nothing official written down that Thailand recognise recovery certificates. The only policy is that if you test positive, and there are several reports that the Thai PCR test is more sensitive, then you are at risk of being entertained at a hospital or hotel-hospital for at least 10 days. There are unsubstantiated reports on the forum that there might be reports on Facebook of some instances of recovery certificates being taken into consideration, but there definitely nothing official and no first hand reports in this forum as far as I remember.
For example around post 1274 in Thailand opening up in November [merged thread]

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

And yes, the test in Thailand is more sensitive. They do the swab test the right way and some say that they add more cycles.
Its not sure, that someone (fully vaccinated/3 doses) gets tested positive after 12 or 14 days of getting tested positive the first time. Its more likely, that the tests are negative. But there is a high risk of getting sent to quarantine.
Personally I wouldnt travel to Thailand short time after I got tested positive.

That is a rule for the test before departure, not for the test on day 1 in Thailand.

I'm emailing the hotel where I want to book my day 1 package to ask if the hospital/hotel will accept a recovery certificate from my government.

Best way is to ask the embassy of Thailand in your country. Some of them answer questions by Facebook/Twitter quite fast,

So, flying out this weekend and on TG927 for the last segment/arrival in Thailand.
The flight time seemed long, so I just did some further checking, and it looks like it actually has a stop at HKT before onward travel to BKK.
On my reservation and e-ticket receipt, it is listed as FRA->BKK, no mention of a "stop".
Anyone have experience with this? I assume I am still fine, will just stay on the plane and arrive at BKK for my T&G scheme as planned?
I haven't been on a "one-stop" flight in a LONG LONG time...

yes some of the TG flights from Europe fly to HKT first, unload the guests with Phuket as final destination while everybody else has to stay on board; for sure no new guests will join. Usually they do not need to stay the full 1.5 hours as scheduled in HKT so that a early arrival of around an hour in BKK is usual...
Can't wait to get back.

To everyone, I got this email in my spambox today; it's a phising email! Be very careful with emails like this, all legit emails regarding the Thailand Pass come from the 'tp.consular.go.th' domain.

This is a well reported scam, happened episodically a few times over the last few weeks. Apparently a hack/leak in the official data base, Along with the email sender and the domain allegedly being registered in the Netherlands.
The best clue though, is that if TP wanted info they would ask you to go to the official link where you would have to log in not ask for a reply over email.

I got even two on Sunday from different E-Mail addresses
one was in English and Thai; the Thai was so crap, it was obvious that it came from google translate or from a foreigner

The funny thing is that they are asking for details to "update" a ThailandPass which has been expired for months
