My Thai pass has just come through now but the date of my arrival in Bangkok was meant to be today. Does anyone know if I could still use this pass or would I have to reapply again because I will need to change the booking for the one night stay in the hotel. Such bad timing

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user has received their Thailand Pass but is concerned about using it since their arrival date was meant to be today. They are unsure if they need to reapply because of the change in their hotel booking. Community members respond, indicating that reapplication may be necessary if the arrival date changes. Additionally, there's confusion about a potential 72-hour window associated with the Thailand Pass, with some suggesting it applies to flight delays while others clarify that the date on the pass is fixed.

I have reapplied for my Thai pass. I am reading there is a 72 hour window does anyone know if you could use the Thai pass 72 hours earlier than your arrival date.

Nope. The Thailand Pass has your arrival date on it. The 72hr window is for your PCR test.

@Steve ******
your Thailand pass does have a 72 hr window for flight delays etc had it confirmed from the authorities in Thailand it has nothing to do with the PCR test

Ok. Didnt know the TP had a 72hr window, it does have an arrival date on the TP. Never seen a flight delayed for 72hrs. There IS a 72hrs window for the PCR test to board your flight.

Ok thanks for your reply. It's very frustrating this new system. At least when it was the COE before it gave you I think a 15 day window to use it.
