TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you are still allowed to fly to Thailand on January 21st if you have your Thailand Pass approved. While the new rules are set to apply for those applying for the Pass after January 10th, those who have been approved before that date can travel as planned. Be aware that additional requirements, such as a second COVID-19 test after arrival, may apply. Keep an eye out for any updates prior to your flight date as regulations may change.

If you’re approved Thailand Pass then you get to use whatever date it is approved for, you may however have to take a 2nd Covid test on day 7

Approved(QR issued) = OK to fly. They added 2 additional covid tests after you arrive. That's it for now. It could be different by 21-Jan. Just stay tuned in case new requirements get added. It's only been a week since Omicron was identified here...they are bracing for its impact, so I expect week-by-week revisions as things evolve.

Yes. There's no need to worry. You will just have to take another Free PCR test after a week apparently. That's the only difference.
