Posts: 316Thailand Pass Worked
I tried applying in the opening minutes of the new Thailand Pass. Needless to say the first few hours did not go well. It was about 2 and one half hours into the process when I finally got a popup with a code and a notice saying I should have my pas in "3 to 5 days". I used the code to check my status and that screen said "48 hours". Three hours after getting the popup I received an official email confirming my application. About 13 hours from receiving the email I received another email with my approved Thailand Pass QR code. I am hearing that people applying now are receiving there QR code much faster.

One Thai Pass problem from January is that my first choice COVID insurance company refused to cover me and their automated rejection didn't state why. I applied to another company and was quickly accepted. Nothing is certain about Thai Pass until you actually have it in hand.

Posts: 142Yeah, who would have thought Thailand would outdo the United States in terms of getting things back to normal.
Quite frankly I was shocked that the Thai government basically said, screw this, we're opening back up fully with little to no restrictions on May 1st. At the rate they were going, I would have thought nothing would have changed until towards the end of the year.
I do believe this will finally be the so called "game changer" in terms of reinvigorating tourism to Thailand, at least until there are no restrictions. But May 1st, as long are you are fully vaccinated, no more testing whatsoever required (only self test recommended if needed). For those not vaccinated, all they need to do to avoid the quarantine and testing in country, is to test negative no more than 72 hours before flight. That's as good as it gets.
Masks are still required of course, but I figure there's some leeway with that in Pattaya outside of businesses (your mileage may vary).

Posts: 316Just my luck
Was waiting for the USA To drop the requirement for the covid test for getting back into the country. But in the last few days I decided to just take the trip and if I get stuck in Thailand because of a positive covid test then so be it. So I began looking at dates and flights and discovered something unusual. It does not matter if I book the flight for two days from now or two weeks from now flights from Houston to Bangkok are the same price. So I started looking at May 2nd as a good date for leaving Houston and arriving on May 3rd in Bangkok. But then I find out since the rules are changing I cannot even apply for Thailand pass until the 29th of April. Just my luck.

But what you are putting out there about Phuket prices and availability across multiple forums (Phuket and now Pattaya) is wrong.
You are branding all of Phuket with your poor experiences in one part of Patong, Bangla Road and with ThaiFriendly and Tinder, and making that out to be the situation everywhere in Phuket. Only when challenged do you back down and specify things a little more.
If you don't like your experiences you have had in Phuket, then fine, no problem, but please stop promoting that what you have had is the norm in Phuket, its not, not even close.

Bars and gogos are money trap in Phuket IMO.prices skyrocketed here. Many girls even won't leave bar, because they just make money from drinks. Lady drinks 220 baht, and they prefer to stay at bar and being a drink sl*t. Unfortunately many newbies just keep buying LDs by hoping girls will come with them. But usually they won’t. I didn't try gogos in Phuket but Another punter wrote in Phuket topic, he paid 15 k bar fine for 5 days and also expected to pay 15 k for girl for 5 days /24 hours. So total damage 30k for 5 days. Of course everybody has their own budget, but this is really not for me.

Those prices might be asked of dumb tourists on Patong, Bangla Road Walking Street, or ThaiFriendly, but they are not general Patong bar prices.
And even at those places, experienced punters have no problems getting those initial asking prices dropped considerably.
So why can't you?
Look around Patong OTOP, Patong Ratuthit or Nanai Road bars and the prices are much less than that.
Get out of Patong and hit the bars in Kamala, Kata, Karon, Chalong or Rawai and you will get short time easily for 1000 or a bit more plus bar fine.
And that will be with quality girls, some even the SYT (21) no baby damage ones you've claimed are no longer available in Phuket.

I wish the CDC kept the three day test window, but it is what it is.

I'd just apply again. I believe they don't process them until near departure date. Mine and a friend's passes were approved 2 days before flight. Another friend got worried when he was a week out and still no reply, so he just contacted them and received his next day.
Do not reply to any email from Thailand Pass. There was news about its database being hacked and email addresses of applicants being stolen. I still get a spear-phishing email every other week from supposedly Thailand Pass, stating that there's something wrong with my submitted documents and that I need to provide my DoB and passport number. Yeah, right. I've been in LOS for a few months, so I don't think I will be needing ThPass services. Nice try.
