Thailand has a new system for entering the country called the Thailand Pass.
It is a free, web-based system that manages your entry to Thailand. The pass is required when you enter by air.
Regardless of your visa status or nationality, you will need a pass.
The requirements for entry to Thailand have become easier over the last few months, as the country moves towards a policy of “living with Covid-19”.
In this article you will find the up-to-date information required to book your trip, both for vaccinated and unvaccinated persons.
Thailand Pass Categories
The Thailand Pass contains two main categories, from which you will need to select when you sign up to the system.
These are as follows:
- Quarantine Exemption (vaccinated)
- Alternative Quarantine (unvaccinated)
Quarantine Exemption
New Rules, as of May 1, 2022.
As the name suggests, under this category you are exempt from quarantine and can travel in Thailand without restriction.
There is no RT-PCR test requirement for vaccinated visitors, neither before travel or upon arrival. However, check with your airline as to whether they require a pre-departure test.
It is recommended that you take a self-administered antigen test if you develop symptoms in Thailand during your trip.
You will need to upload proof of vaccination and proof of the mandatory Covid-19 insurance policy to the Thailand Pass portal.
The required insurance coverage amount is $10,000.
Alternative Quarantine (Unvaccinated)
The rules for unvaccinated visitors are as follows:
Upon arrival, you will be required to stay in an approved hotel for 5 days before being allowed to travel around Thailand.
You will be required to do a RT-PCR test on day 5 and must, obviously, test negative before being allowed onward travel.
However, you can avoid this mandatory quarantine and day 5 test if you upload proof of a negative RT-PCR test – within 72 hours of traveling to Thailand – to the Thailand Pass system.
This option enables the unvaccinated to travel in Thailand under the same conditions as the vaccinated.
Required Documentation
To clarify, here is the documentation:
Vaccinated travelers (Quarantine Exemption):
- Your passport profile page
- A certificate of full (2 doses) vaccination
- A medical insurance policy covering the $10,000 minimum requirement
Unvaccinated travelers (Quarantine Exemption):
- Your passport profile page
- A negative RT-PCR test result issued no more than 72 hours before your travel date (in lieu of a vaccination document)
- A medical insurance policy covering the $10,000 minimum requirement
Unvaccinated travelers (Staying in Alternative Quarantine)
- Your passport profile page
- Confirmed booking of AQ or SHA+ hotel 5-day Alternate Quarantine package
- A pre-booked RT-PCR test (may be included in your hotel booking package)
- A medical insurance policy covering the $10,000 minimum requirement
Vaccination Rules for Entry
For those who are vaccinated and choosing option 1, you need to be fully vaccinated for at least 14 days before entering Thailand.
You don't need to be vaccinated for the Alternative Quarantine option (2).
Here’s a list of the approved vaccines under the Thailand Pass system:
- AstraZeneca
- Pfizer-BioNTech
- Moderna
- COVILO (Sinopharm)
- Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
- CoronaVac (Sinovac)
- Sputnik V
Please note that mixed brand vaccine shots are accepted.
Required Health Insurance
The health insurance requirement is to cover your hospital bill should you fall ill with Covid-19. The policy must explicitly cover treatment to the sum of at least $10,000 (USD).
You can use any insurance company, local or international, as long as it explicitly meets the requirement.
If you are employed in Thailand you can use your Social Security card as proof of insurance, saving you from taking out a new policy.

COVID-19 Testing Protocols
For the unvaccinated, who require a test prior to departure, proof of the test result must be provided via the original document, in English or Thai language.
If you are doing the 5-day quarantine, you will be tested on day 5 of your stay, prior to being allowed domestic or onward travel.
Getting a Visa for Your Trip
The large majority of foreign nationals can enter Thailand on a 30-day exemption stamp, which is provided upon entry (immigration stamp your passport with an entry stamp).
The Thailand Pass itself does not require a specific visa. However, nationals of some countries may require a visa to enter.
If you are eligible for a 30-day exemption and want to stay for more than 30 days, you should consider the visa options available at your local Thai embassy's website.
I have information on the various types of visa here.
How to Apply for Your Thailand Pass
You can apply for the Thailand Pass online, do that here.
You can apply for your Thailand Pass up to 60 days before your arrival date.
It doesn't take long, maybe 20 minutes if you have your documents to hand.
However, do the application on a laptop or desktop computer, as it will be fiddly on mobile.
Once inside the portal you will need to do the following:
- Choose the correct plan from the two options previously discussed.
- Enter personal details such as your country of origin, length of stay, date of arrival, etc.
- Upload your vaccination certificate.
- Upload a copy of your passport, hotel booking confirmation, and proof of COVID medical insurance.
Once you receive your confirmation email to say that your application has been received, you will have to wait for an approval in the form of a QR code, which may take a few days.
A QR code is like a barcode that is linked to a specific piece of information, and can be scanned to reveal that information by compatible devices.
Save the QR code to your phone and print a copy out for the trip. You will need it when you arrive in Thailand and possibly at other times during your stay.
How to Contact Thailand Pass
If you have a query regarding your Thailand Pass application, you can contact the 24-hour helpline on one of the following numbers:
- +66 (0)2-572-8442 (this is the main line and the one reported to work best)
- +66 (0)65-205-4247
- +66 (0)65-205-4248
- +66 (0)65-205-4249
I would advise that you call over Skype or some other VOIP program that isn't going to charge a high international call rate like your cell or landline provider will. You will most likely have to hold for quite a while, so prepare yourself for a fairly long call.
Your Questions Answered
I've been getting a bunch of questions on this pass over the past few weeks, so here's a roundup of the most common ones.
I'll add to this section once more questions come in and the scheme matures.
1. Do I Need to Book a Special Hotel?
If you are vaccinated and arriving under the quarantine exemption, you do not need to book a specific hotel.
If you are unvaccinated and choosing to do the 5-day Alternative Quarantine (AQ), you will book into an SHA+ hotel, which is a designated hotel that handles quarantining visitors.
+ The best hotel deals for Thailand are found here on Agoda and Hotels.com
2. I'm vaccinated but recovering from Covid, can I travel?
If you are fully vaccinated but were recently infected and are still testing positive you can enter Thailand. You will need a certificate from your doctor declaring that you have have recovered from Covid-19 in the last 14 to 90 days.
If you test positive on arrival you can show your certificate. However, you may still need to be cleared by a medical professional.
3. I'm a foreigner with a Non-O Visa (based on Thai spouse) and proof of residence. Do I need to book a SHA+ hotel for arrival?
No, you can return home to your usual residence upon arrival, with no need to book a hotel.
Unvaccinated expats can choose to complete the 5-day Alternate Quarantine (at an approved AQ or SHA+ hotel) or register an RT-PCR test result in the Thailand Pass system 72 hours prior to traveling and avoid the quarantine.
4. I'm a Thai National re-entering Thailand. Do I need a pass?
Yes you do. Everyone flying into Thailand needs the pass, including Thai nationals.
5. I have a Thailand Elite Visa. Do I need the pass?
Yes. All foreign nationals, regardless of a visa, need to set themselves up on the Thailand Pass system.
6. We are flying as a family. Do my kids need a pass?
There are different rules for kids. Children over the age of 12 do need a pass. Children under the age of 12 can be added to your Quarantine Exemption or Sandbox application.
7. I am arriving in Thailand but during my trip I will go to Cambodia and Laos. I will then return to Thailand. Do I to apply for another Pass when I want to return to Thailand?
The Thailand Pass is valid for a single entry to Thailand. If you leave the country and want to return you will need to apply for a new Pass.
8. Does the Pass Expire?
The Pass is for one trip only and valid for the duration of your stay. If you leave Thailand and want to re-enter, you will need to apply again.
9. Do I have to show proof of onward travel?
As noted previously, the Thailand Pass doesn't reflect your visa status.
If you arrive on a 30-day visa exemption stamp, then you need to have proof of onward travel. This is standard for all tourists.
You may be asked for proof of onward travel when checking in at the airport in your home country, and at the Thai immigration desk when you arrive.
If you don’t have this proof, you might be denied boarding at the airline counter or Thailand Immigration might not allow you to enter Thailand.
I can't remember ever being asked for this proof when leaving my home country, but perhaps they already know this because your return flight is most likely with the same airline and your ticket would be logged on the system by the carrier.
10. My flight date has changed, how can I change my Pass?
If your flight has changed to within 72 hours of your original flight time, you can arrive using the same Thailand Pass application.
If your flight date has been changed outside of the 72-hour window then you will need to apply again.
11. What happens if I test positive for COVID-19 on holiday?
If you test positive during your holiday you are expected to go to hospital. If you are staying in the home of a friend or relative, or indeed your own home, you can choose to self-isolate there.
The quarantine after a positive test is up to 10 days, but a negative test will mean an earlier release.
12. I didn't receive my Pass confirmation email, what now?
This happens regularly to me with emails and it's super annoying. The first port of call is to check your junk mailbox. Gmail in particular has a horrible habit of marking legit emails as spam.
If you registered on the system with a mistake in your email address, you will need to register again.

My pass has been approved by the authority but I did not indicate any country that I will be traveling during my pass application.
If I am intending to travel to another country now during the period before my departure to Thailand, do I need to apply for a new Thailand pass to indicate the country that I'll be travelling to?

So, the questions remain ..
# 1 : Is pre-departure for EXITING Thaialnd required ???
#2 : If positive ,what then ???
May 16, 2022 at 12:35 pm
JamesE says
#2 - enjoy your extended stay. A positive test (if a test is required as in #1) will prevent you from leaving. Your best bet will be to hole up somewhere and use Grab, etc for food. until you test negative. I learned (through a similar experience) that a positive test - even one given by a clinic or hospital - is not automatically reported to the authorities. You can fly under the radar and manage your own quarantine without being shipped off to a hospital. If you got good travel insurance your extra costs should be covered under the Trip Interruption clause of the policy so document everything.

Kevin Woo says
Myself and family are Unvaccinated travelers. But in order to get Quarantine Exemption, we will prepare the RT-PCR test – within 72 hours prior to our travel which our flight date is 28th of June. But here is the question.
1. The meaning 72 hours prior to the departing date is counted from the depart time time? Example: my flight is 11:30am on 28th June. So, I must do the test fastest on 25th June at 11:31am? Or they do they count the 72 hours from the date we receive the PCR test report?
I tried to apply the Thailand Pass online today but they request the PCR test. But since the PCR test must be within 72 hours, shall I wait until I have the test report and apply the PCR Test? If yes, my time will be very short as well.
Jut afraid that I might not have enough time to do the Thailand Pass since you commented that it might takes few days. So, I am just wondering, whether we can apply the Thailand Pass without issuing the PCR test via online but bring the hard copy at the immigration (Thailand) at the airport if we really can not make the Thailand Pass on time.

For entry into the country I've heard that I have to use my old passport(even though it will be cancelled-drilled holes) as it has my new non-b visa in it that I got in Thailand and reentry permit as well. Then Once I am back to Thailand, I will transfer my visa to the new passport in the immigration. That's what I've been told.
Now what I am confused about is, when I apply for a Thai pass, which passport should I use to apply for the pass?
1. Old one, that is cancelled but has my thai visa in it and reentry permit, and its connected to Mor PRom and my vaccination record?
2. Or a new one that I will get and it is empty?
The old passport is connected to the Mor Prom app and I used it for my vaccination while staying in Thailand, the vaccination record is connected to it. Will the change of passport and serial number not matching vaccination in morprom cause the problems for Thai Pass application?
So which passport should I use to register for a Thai pass?

''Kindly note that foreign nationals must also have proof of payment for a required RT-PCR test on Day 5.''
However I can't find where/how this can be done.
In my case, after quarantine i will relocate to another city and it seems hospitals are not interested in advanced bookings/payments for this test.
I'm stumpped.

"A proof of prepayment for 5 nights of accommodation at government-approved Alternative Quarantine (AQ) accommodation or similar government-approved facility, which can be booked via the following platforms."
Does this mean quarantine has changed, even for those who have already been approved?

I found the following (dated March 22, 2022):
"Book your Flight to Thailand
You can fly to Samui on a direct international flight or international flight via Bangkok and be connected with approved sealed flights as details below.
For the flight via Bangkok, the ticket must be issued on the same booking with an international flight in conjunction with such approved Bangkok-Samui-Bangkok flights. Any flight reservations booked separately will not be allowed."
Perhaps your booking was not made under the terms described above?

2. And how will your RT-PCR 72hr test be effected if a delay pushes you over said 72hrs?
Especially if there is a short stop-over on the way
Mar 24, 2022 at 4:16 pm
JamesE says
2) Probably not at all. The 72-hours is from the initial departure date/time, not arrival time. If you check-in on time, within the 72 hour period, you shouldn't have a problem. If your originating flight is changed before you are able to check in you may need to get a new test. Check with your airline. Once you're checked in and traveling any intermediate delays won't matter (up to the 72-hour grace period in the Thailand Pass).

Two questions if you can please help:
Q1) If I already have a Thailand pass and take a short return trip from Thailand to Vietnam for 3 days, do I still need a PCR test before I come back and get a SHA Extra + hotel again?
Q2) If I fly from Vietnam to Thailand and then connect to another international flight 5 hours later do I need to do PCR test for Thailand or reapply for Thailand pass? The flight is on different tickets so I would need to pass through customs, collect my bags and check into my flight again.
Thanks
Mar 24, 2022 at 3:50 am
JamesE says
2) Yes, test and Thailand Pass. You are formally entering Thailand. Plus, you'd have to Test & Go, so the "5 hours later" thing is a non-starter. You're not allowed to just clear customs and go back into the airport (as of right now anyway).

If so, I’ll be arriving from China (not my country of residence) so I think the best Visa I can get is a 60 day single entry or perhaps a 60 day multiple entry Visa.
I was wondering what the most likely choice I’ll have (if any ) to extend that type of Visa once I’m in Thailand.
I’d like to ultimately get a long stay O-A Visa but understand that I will have to return to the US to apply for that.

If I am in Thailand and am leaving Thailand in ,lets say ,5 days' time , is there STILL a requirement to undergo a RT-PCR pre-departure test within72 hours pre-departure Thailand ?
All I am seeing on the net is incorrect 'pre-departure test to be suspended ' .. the referred to test is ,literally, a 'pre-arrival' test.

The whole thing was lacking detail in content regarding steps and requirements .
So it seems the fear of being dragged away to isolate for 7 days with a positive result at the Airport is not going to happen .
My understanding was that it was a CDC requirement and Government controlled ,not the Airline . . . ???
Australia allows entry without RT-PCR , but you 'must' do a self-test within 24 hours . ..
So ATK negative at Suvarnabhumi is ok to board ,then fly, but what if Positive ...where to ???

f you have been infected with COVID and can prove that by way of doctor's certificate, you only need to have had one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine within 90 days of your recovery from the illness.
Also, If RT-PCR result is positive or detected, a medical certificate or signed proof of recovery stating that your first date of detection is at least 14 days but less than 90 days before travelling is required
This is taken from test and go
Mar 18, 2022 at 8:11 pm
D'oh ,Mr says
The actual PRE-EXIT Thailand is too much risk ie:
if you have stayed 3 months and probably
(very likely) exposed and positive ,off you go to Hotel when trying to check in, change flight date ($)so why put self under constant pressure and fear ..FEAR ! ffs !!! ? I am not going , simple as that .
I will lose the equiv of 38,000THB adding it all up ,and that would be only 30% of cost of enforced ASQ, other expenses if pos at exit. .

SIM card AIS kiosk in the bag collection hall, after security and before Customs, is to the right in the direction of travel and opposite bag conveyor No 18. 700 ThB for 15 days unlimited, other deals available. It seems like the only opportunity to get a SIM for those on T&G since exit from customs you are herded to Hotel bus collection area and then whisked off to test centre and hotel for the night.

My mum and I are set to travel in two days for a period of 11 days.
We have approved Thailand Passes. However , i juts noticed that on my TP , the duration is listed as " less than 5 days " and thankfully on my mother's TP, its listed as " more than 5 days ". She is my dependant , so obviously we cannot stay for different time..
Ive tried calling their helpline - no luck . Ive tried writing to support@tp.consular.go.th - the email bounced.
I called the local embassy and they said its for the above helplines to help only..
I m not sure if this is going to hamper our travel. Does anyone know how to get help or if this issue has been faced before.

I was scheduled to arrive in Phuket at 6am in a week's time and have booked my PCR at Phuket airport accordingly. Now my plans have changed and I shall arrive at 12 pm (6 hours later). After logging in to the Thaipass PCR portal, I managed to change the itinerary information but was unable to amend the swab date on the receipt as I think there's an online glitch. Do you think that arriving at Phuket airport with a swab test appointment 6 hours earlier can cause any problems or is there an email to amend such an issue?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

The takeaway is that even after 4+ months there are still kinks in the system and that communications to the front-line staff and on to the customers is sorely lacking. I think you could completely get away with ignoring the Day-5 requirement (and know someone who has done so) with the only risk being a close contact report from someone else who did test positive.

I will be flying back to Australia after 6 days in Thailand.
I did my first pcr but I was wondering if I need another pcr test to leave Thailand or if an antigène made in a labo will be enough.
Im trying to get the information with Thai airways but they don’t reply.
Australia does accept the antigen made in labo.
But I know some countries don’t let you fly with an antigen.
It would be nice to save me the $100 of a second pcr test.
Could you help me out here?
Thanks

You prob still need the day 5 PCR to stay in Thailand to day 6 though
From 21 February 2022, all visa holders who are fully vaccinated for international travel purposes can travel to Australia without a travel exemption. Unvaccinated visa holders will still need to be in an exempt category or hold an individual travel exemption to enter Australia.

In your article "Applying for a Thai pass", you write:
1. Enter personal details such as your country of origin, length of stay, date of arrival, etc. What does a re-entering farang, on a Retirement Visa, enter?
2. “….you will have to wait for an approval in the form of a QR code, ” If I am applying by e-mail, will this QR code come by e-mail? If so, how do I save it to my phone?
3. Re “What should I do if I didn't receive my confirmation email? ”
“…..check your junk mailbox ”
And then ?

q2 yes it comes to your phone, via email, from which you can print it (recommended) and save to your apple wallet if yiou have an apple phone or ipad. Otherwise screenshot it
If you dont receive it, perhaps contact the hotel for your day 1 and see if they have processed it, otherwise contact the Thailand Pass support.

I have been pinged as had having contact with someone positive for Covid. I fly out in four days with a fit to fly PCR being done in two days. If I am found to be positive how does this affect my Thaipass. Will I have to reapply with new dates when negative. Hopefully the covid insurance will take care of hotel and flight costs Fingers crossed

T&G hotels booked & Paid direct 08 Feb, 1st night in BKK, 2nd night in CEI
Thai Pass applied for 09 Feb. Four day response time, but,
Rejection received 12 Feb stating problem with hotel/s.
Several emails to hotels to get cleared. Seems like glitch between TP system and hotel approval.
Reapplied for TP 14 Feb & Thai pass received within 3 hrs.
90 day Visa approval time for me, UK national, from Thai Embassy London was 3 days ! Now waiting on Covid insurance alteration before my TP application. 3 years since our last visit, will be so good to see the sun again.

"DO NOT purchase your T&G hotel with a booking service. Work directly through the hotel."
Would you explain your reason for not booking a T&G hotel with Booking service/agent.
Feb 11, 2022 at 5:19 pm
JamesE says
– Day 1 hotel reservation and fee for 1st RT-PCR test and airport transfer.
– Day 5 hotel reservation and fee for 2nd RT-PCR test."
You're going to lose sleep waiting for the hotel approval, your TP will be rejected, and you're going to have to deal with the hotel in the end anyway. Might as well start there and book direct.
Even the Thailand Pass website recommends "It is highly recommended that travellers book their hotel accommodation (room + airport transfer + 2 RT-PCR tests) directly with the hotel to expedite the authentication process by hotels."
The other reason I'd recommend against booking with a 3rd party is that the savings just aren't what they used to be. I just booked a hotel up in Kanchanaburi and the difference between Agoda and direct booking was ฿400, total. I'd much rather have the hotel keep my $12. When I was looking at Phuket Sandbox hotels for my trip last October, Agoda actually ended up being more expensive because the hotel would include all airport and testing center transport.
As far as an agent goes, it would depend. An agent in Thailand like It's Thai Things or Royal Travel will know all the ins and outs, will deal with the TP application for you, etc. So if you're unused to the Thai bureaucracy and hoop jumping, and frustration and don't want to deal with it, then the extra cost might be worth it. At least you won't have any surprises.
There are also (as I found out) unpublished specials at hotels that aren't on any of the lists. I'm entering BKK with Test & Go in a couple of weeks and I found my hotel by just scrolling around on Google Maps in the neighborhood I wanted to be in. It wasn't on asq.in.th or Agoda/Booking and was cheaper than some shoddier choices in the same neighborhood. I dealt directly with the hotel and my Thailand Pass was processed in one day.

The Thai Pass states Duration of Stay, MORE THAN 5 DAYS.

2 questions.......

1) Can we apply for T&G so we stay in Phuket 6 days and the rest in BKK?
2) How do I purchase PCR tests in Phuket over the internet? I want to purchase hotel and flight package through Expedia or pagoda but there is no option to purchase PCR tests. What do I do?
3)Do I need to purchase flights before the Travel Pass is approved? Seems ridiculous.. what do I do if the pass is not approved?.. I end up with non-refundable tickets?
Would appreciate suggestions. It is my daughter's graduation gift dream to go to Thailand.
Thank you. Maria
Feb 10, 2022 at 8:04 am
JamesE says
2) DO NOT purchase your T&G hotel with a booking service. Work directly through the hotel. Flights, it doesn't matter. Booking services sell you based on price so can leave you hanging by omitting package inclusions. A T&G package is required to include airport transfer and your tests so you don't have to arrange anything. Look at the 5-day T&G packages here: https://asq.in.th. You can also look for other SHA Extra + hotels at: https://web.thailandsha.com/shaextraplus.
3) Trick question. You're not required to document your flight for Thailand Pass but, you are required to pre-pay (non-refundable) your hotel and document that. At the very least, you'll have to know which flights you're taking to get the certificate from the hotel and fill in on Page 1 of the TP application. If you booked your flights after you had your TP and something changed from what you told the hotel you would have to restart the TP application anyway.
Good luck!

While staying in Thailand, your insurance must cover COVID-19 related cost as below:
- Medical expense coverage of 50,000 USD minimum.
- Hospitel/hospital isolation and high-risk close contact.
- Your insurance policy must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Thailand."
This is the only notification of the changes I've seen. The catch is that most existing insurance won't cover the "high-risk close contact" isolation costs. The cheapest policy they show is ฿1,700/30-days.
Feb 07, 2022 at 11:13 pm
JamesE says
Also the "requirement" has been reworded from "Hospitel/hospital isolation and high-risk close contact." to "Hospital isolation and high-risk close contact." I'm not sure of the reasoning or effect of the rewording but it still looks like a caveat emptor situation.

Thanks for getting back to me.
At the start of the application, I picked the program Sandbox instead of Test and Go as I got so confused with everything I read to understand the difference.
I tried on 2 different computer and also on my iPhone to edit my submission but they didn’t let me do it. I couldn’t click on ‘edit’
So I did another application and let my hotel knows as well.
There is no issue by applying twice right?

As far as the whole process went: be prepared to convert everything into JPEG or PNG image format. You will upload the same document multiple times in the hotel confirmation and vaccine document sections. And make sure you have a clean QR code to upload along with your vaccine certificate (yes, you need both) which will make the review process faster (or so it is claimed...). Having done both the CoE and Thailand Pass I must say that the CoE was much simpler from the applicant's side.

I took RT-PCR test at the test center in Germany and received negative result. My certificate says neither labor name nor doctor name but just says where and how the test was taken. (RT-PCR test at the test center)
Is this certificate valid to enter Thailand?
In Thailand Pass FAQs at Department of Consular Affairs says "Your COVID-19 test result must be obtained using the RT-PCR testing technique" but TAT News says "A Medical Certificate with an RT-PCR lab result" as one of pre-arrival requirements. I believe my certificate is medical one but there is no word "lab or labor" on my certificate.

If I am in Thailand on the 30 day VOA and of course my Thailand pass is all good as arrived using it .
My Booked flight out of Thailand is 4th May .
* 4 May departure is on my itinerary and stated on my Thailand Pass .
Pre-booked itinerary 4th May Departure BKK.
* I find out while in Thailand ,on 1st may, that I need to stay another ( 10 ) days
* Getting extension on VOA is simple ,so consider it done for another 30 days .
* Airline date change considered done
* What about the gap between the dates 4th -10th May which is on my Thailand Pass as Departure date BKK?
There are main questions here :
1 : Is there a penalty for not having this 'gap' filled ?
2 : is it possible / requirement to EDIT Thailand Pass while having already entered Thailand ?
3: Having ( hypothetical) extended the 30 day VOA and having Thai Company Travel insurance going well into 90 days ahead,is there just one problem here ? the GAP 4th -10th May ?

With the new announcement, though, it looks like the Sandbox will be opening back up in Samui which is served by twice-daily "sealed route" flights on Bangkok Air. If you can't change your flights into Thailand to Japan-Phuket, then maybe Samui would work for the sandbox part of the trip and then spend the last week in Phuket.

Will 7 day quarantine still be available in Bangkok under AQ do you think?

I am also transiting through BKK to Koh Samui so where will I have to get my PCT test on arrival? BKK or Koh Samui?
If I get PCR tested in BKK will they let me get my connecting flight (4hrs) or will I have to book the 1 nights accommodation in BKK & wait for my negative result before catching the next flight. This could mean I have to re-book my flight from BKK to Koh Samui for the following day.

The one thing that will affect your plans is that, for arrivals after December 24, the second test is an RT-PCR test to be administered "close to where you're staying". It doesn't cost any more than the ATK you were supposed to get but it does mean you can't travel to some remote jungle.
Of course, Thailand has been known to pull the rugs out from under travelers so keep checking for updates.

I have just found out through International Public Relations Division
Tourism Authority of Thailand that I will indeed be able to transit through Bangkok and will have a PCR test upon arrival at Koh Samui Airport. I am only able to transit because my connecting flight is a Bangkok dedicated airline with a flight number beginning with PG51…
I’ll be escorted from the plane through customs to the departure gate & have to wait there until departure.
If I test negative I’ll be free to continue my travel plans in Koh Samui and have to have a 2nd PCR test on day 5 or 6.

My advice is obviously get here asap to avoid this so I hope you get your Thai Pass in time.
You should know that I'm writing to you from a 'hospital hotel' in Bangkok as I tested positive on my arrival PCR all because I had Covid (and quarantined in London) still in my system - it can take 90 days to remain there and show up on certain PCR's.
They are now trying to charge me over 200,000 baht for the 10 days I have to be here on the basis that I'm being 'medically supervised' when there's nothing wrong with me - in fact my results are showing my CT levels are getting better and they still say I must remain due to fear of Omicron.

I've already done money on a plane ticket, airline said I did not need covid insurance, turned out I do but looks like I'm too old for it.
Now something new again with this pass.
I've got a partner and child and all the bills and not a hope of getting back.

you obviously know more about how to drive a computer than I do, and I dare say a good number of people who read your post. Surly there must be a way thru all this without having to have a degree in rocket science.
Does any one have any idea's for the computer dummy's out here, on how to do all this ??.

Anyway, I'm now in possession of a QR code, my CDC vaccine card (no QR), and the Washington state DOH vaccine certificate (also without QR). Somebody needs to get their act(s) together...

But when I log into my account on the CDC VAMS website I can pull up my vaccination information, which includes a QR code, however, when I scan the QR code with my phone, all it does is take me to the CDC website login page where you need to enter your password, and if I enter my password it goes back to showing my QR code. It just goes in a circle, so I’m not sure what the QR code is supposed to be used for.

My thought was that if I upload my CDC VAMS QR code during my Thailand Pass application, it would take them to the login page which they could not access without a pin number. So what’s the point? Seems that scanning the QR code alone should bring up the vaccination information.

I am planning a vacation in Thailand for 45 Days and will apply for a Visa.
With regards to the Thai Pass, I am fully Vaccinated and will fly to Bangkok.
After my first night at the Sha Hotel in Bangkok and providing I test Negative, can I move and stay at another non Sha Hotel/Hotels for the rest of my stay.
Also if I book a Flight to Phuket during my stay in Bangkok, will I need to take another test at the Airport in Phuket plus stay in a Sha Hotel again ? or can I arrive and move around freely in Phuket and stay in a non Sha Hotel?

A couple of things. You don't have to be in one of the approved countries for 21 days before travel as long as all the countries you've been in 21 days before travel are on the approved list. Second, right now the Thailand Pass has a couple of known features that are causing problems. Chief among these is that it only accepts .JPG image files and will not (unlike the COE) accept .PDFs. If you receive, as you will, your documents in PDF format you'll have to use a converter, scan, or take a picture of them. There were also reports early on of email providers like hotmail, Yahoo mail, and others not working with the system. Lastly, the US is still in the Stone Age when it comes to QR codes. The CDC does have a tool to generate yours but, for me, neither of my two vaccinators provides them nor does my state department of health. So, be patient and learn about this early.
