I prefer to use one of insuremytrips plans because I've generally had good experience with them and their coverage is better with cheaper options than the plan offered via AXA Thailand. Before I look at other insurance options that meet both my needs and Thailand Pass requirements I wanted to check here first.

Thailand Pass are reported to require a one page summary which specifically mentions Covid and the 10K coverage. Some insurance companies will supply this but it doesn't sound like yours will. It may be easier to buy the 650 THB, 30 day insurance from FWD just to use for the pass with no intention of ever claiming on it.

IMO things changed once they added the check box that you certify that it covers covid |

Yes lots of "reports" about having to mention covid, however, the application now asks you to check a box that your insurance covers covid. I doubt very much that anyone actually reads this given how fast some are approved. In my case I submitted a certificate page that mentioned the word covid nowhere, nor did it state a dollar amount (in text it said unlimited). My insurancd does cover covid and is much more than 10k coverage but the "magic words" were not on the page. Approved!

Arrived at BKK yesterday. At the ‚health check‘ (between deboarding and immigration), they wanted to see the Thailand Pass only, no other documents like insurance or vaccination documentation. I’ve showed the TP in my Apple wallet, that was ok. Got a small sticker, that I was checked. Had to show passport, boarding pass, TM6 and TP (Apple wallet) at the immigration. So actually the ‚health check’ didn’t make much sense for me as my TP was checked at the immigration anyway.
Didn‘t take much time. So, beside of wearing masks, it‘s almost like before corona again - including traffic jam in Bangkok. |

Interesting update. Hadn't heard this one yet. Would be great to be able to use existing standard coverage insurance again.

The TP took 11 hours approve, although I did submit it during night time in Thailand. At the Qatar Airways check in in London, the agent only asked if I had a test, insurance and TP. Didn’t look at them. He also asked about hotels booked for whole trip which was weird, then just asked about the first night when I questioned the requirement. They looked at the TP in Doha to confirm name and date. I’m now at DMK and it was a pleasant surprise to find Sakon Nakhon have dropped all vaccine and test requirements. I thought I’d have to do an ATK test at the airport. |
Fast Lane BKK
have the inbound fast lanes now returned at BKK with the increasing number of passengers.....or do I have to queue with the mob?

Departure fast track is in the same location and for those who have not seen it you can look at the video on the airport FB page dated 15th March 2022. Still every man or woman and his dog can use it, so I will continue to use the Thai lanes and when reopened auto channel.

Qatar Airways at DMK?????
If he/she arrived last night and posted at just before 9:00am ICT today there's a good chance they spent a night in Bangkok before travelling on to Sakon Nakhon? |
