I did ask the Thai Embassy and they said no. They said the PCR test on arrival has to be negative. Even if it is inconclusive they said they would not accept it. I would like to know if you manage to get thru with a recovery certificate? Thanks

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...
Interesting, there was a pretty large cleaning crew that came on to service the cabin. Would have thought they would wait until it was back at BKK for that.
And yes, we were about an hour early into BKK. Busier then last time. A brief wait in the blue chairs as the doc check was conducted. Immigration line 1 deep, and waiting on checked bags was still the bottle neck. Seems that baggage delivery has actually slowed down compared to pre-covid, but maybe just a perception or I got unlucky the past couple trips.

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)
yes sure, but the sandbox is during 7 days...so the APP sends out notifications on day 7 to upload results of test taken, whether it had to be taken on day 5 or later...
that was my own experience entering on 11., taking second PCR test on 15, I try scan QR code of the test report but that did not work. on the 17. I got the notification by the App to upload the test (it's not a push message but can be retrieved under the menu "notification")

Is this the MorChanna app? I put it on my phone this trip at the direction of the hotel. They said I needed to upload my Day 1 test result to the app, otherwise the hotel will get a call tomorrow asking about it. But neither I nor the pretty sharp hotel staff can figure out a way to upload it. There is a QR code on the lab report, but when I scan it, it comes up with a wrong data error.
Guess I will see if I get a "notification" tomorrow.

Sorry to jump back to this, but it is bugging me.

The app will give a notification to visit a website where you can upload results. The app itself doesn't handle uploads, or at least it didn't a month ago. If you end up dismissing the notification (like I did the first time) there isn't any way to get back to it (unless you have app notification history turned on in Android, not sure about iOS) and you have a wait a day until it sends you another notification.

AXA has changed the insurance coverage from $50k to $20k on their website but not reduced the premium even one baht, how greedy?
Any other alternative?

updated application process for Thai pass
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

(and by the way, even my test & go hotel was not interested in this APP and I used it so far only one time to get into a temple)
your wording in Thai...does that refer to your contributions in discussions on FT?
I wish you all the best for your final trip....and that your tests stays as negative.... like your attitude towards Thailand

for once positively impressed
Our Thai pass was approved in 10 hours 21 minutes, respectively 10 hours 30 minutes. Respect ! Perhaps things are changing and my horrific experiences are a thing of the past. Everything can change to better, but in this case it is just impressive ! My submission was strictly following their rules and format tough.
Moo in German pronounciation has nothing to do with pig . Thank you for the heads up regarding its application.
The wording is a personal feeling
.
I appreciate your good wishes and am very relieved to be done finally. Not all folks are the same and the happiness I wish to you may not be located at the same place as mine.
Mor Chana and not Moo Chana....because the physician wins and not the pig!

Day 7
Quick questions, Im assuming today (day 7) or tomorrow (after night 7) mor chana will ask me to upload my two negative certificates? What documents do I need to show when I leave the sandbox, hoping to head to Bangkok for my last couple of nights?

there was a link in the notification to a website; it asked for Lab No, date of test and for a copy of the test (photo or screenshot)...after I uploaded this, the App turned immediately green...

My QR code did change to green though.
Wonder if they are now linked somehow "behind the scenes", for the PCR tests anyway.

Now I remember it, my morchana app changed to low risk after my first PCR result with no intervention.
