ORIGINAL POSTERI am (hopefully) traveling from the USA to Phuket, arriving on January 11th. I have my #evisa approved and ready (hotel booked, tests paid for) - do I need a Thaipass as well? It seems like it is the same documentation.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user confirmed their eVisa has been approved and is traveling to Phuket. They inquired if a Thaipass is also necessary. Comments from the community emphasized that a Thaipass is mandatory for entry, with advice on health insurance and flight changes also discussed.

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks for your advice! I got the Thaipass, but then I had to change my flight. I heard that the Thaipass was still valid for up to 72 hours after the date on the pass. Is this true?

Make sure you have the covid insurance, i would look at delaying your flight by 1 week

That’s only for the Test and go option. If you do quarantine in Bangkok or the Phuket sandbox scheme you can still enter.Mark ********
