TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification on whether they need to provide proof of vaccination on the Certificate of Entry (COE) form for Thailand, given their tight travel schedule and vaccination timeline. Comments from the community suggest that vaccination status requirements may vary depending on the entry method (Phuket sandbox vs. ASQ in Bangkok) and that completing a COE in a short time frame might be challenging.

If you're coming in via ASQ in Bangkok, there's no vaccination required. Not sure why they make it so difficult to bypass that portion of the COE application but you're not required to be vaccinated to do ASQ so try submitting without it.

If you wanted to do the Phuket sandbox, you won't qualify because you have to have received your 2nd dose 14 days before the time you arrive.

Just keep in mind that for the thai government to accept your vaccine status you have to have the second dose 14 + days before arriving. If you are going through Phuket this rule applies. Depending on which vaccine you received they can do the 2nd shot 3 weeks prior to the 1st. Still can't figure out why it takes 14 days to be effect...

Moderna takes 2 weeks and Thailand requires 2 weeks after 2nd dose to go to Phuket under the sandbox scheme 🤨
