I have a 29. June flight I needed less than 5 minutes to fill in all info and upload documents (you do not need to upload a document for each single vaccine dose, just for last one will do) and got the QR code after 57 minutes...

I think this is the safe way to go. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I believe the government mandate published in the Royal Gazette was universal, but that some businesses are self-exempting themselves, e.g., the BTS and MRT.

It is expected that schools and medical facilities will retain the ban as well.

We'll have to see how this plays out in the next few days.

Recommendation

Malaria prophylaxis: malaria risk exists throughout the year in rural, especially forested and hilly areas of the country mainly towards the international borders, including the southernmost provinces. There is no risk in cities (e.g. Bangkok, Chiang Mai city, Pattaya), urban areas, Samui island and the main tourist resorts of Phuket island. However, there is a risk in some other areas and islands. P. falciparum resistant to mefloquine and to quinine reported from areas near the borders with Cambodia and Myanmar. Artemisinin resistance reported near the border with Myanmar. P. vivax resistance to chloroquine reported. Human P. knowlesi infection reported. Recommended prevention in risk areas: A; in areas near Cambodia and Myanmar borders: C.

The WHO recommended type of prevention is referred to as:
- Type A (very limited risk of malaria transmission) - Mosquito bite prevention only.
- Type B (risk of non-falciparum malaria) - Mosquito-bite prevention plus chloroquine or doxycycline or atovaquone-proguanil or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis.
- Type C (risk of P. falciparum malaria) - Mosquito-bite prevention plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycycline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis.
Chemoprophylaxis should be started preferably one week before departure and no later than the first day of exposure; it must be taken with unfailing regularity and continued for 4 weeks after the last exposure. No prophylactic regimen is 100% protective against infection, but even if it fails to prevent the disease it may, nevertheless, render the infection milder and less life threatening.
