Do vaccinated travelers to Thailand require 7 days of ASQ if they receive the Pfizer vaccine?
Anyone have any insight on this? Direct from the Thai Consulate website.
So I can get the Phizer vaccine and only need to do 7 days ASQ?

Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the quarantine requirements for travelers to Thailand based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. Specifically, users inquire whether travelers vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine are eligible for a reduced 7-day Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ). They debate the conflicting rules regarding other vaccines, like Moderna, which seems to mandate a longer quarantine. Comments highlight concerns about vaccine approvals, emergency use, and the practicality of quarantine lengths, especially in relation to costs and personal circumstances.

Lol lo, no one is coming if you have to do one day in quarantine. They just don't get it.

not many tourists, that's for sure.

I am surprised people are so concerned about 3-4 days exemption. What difference does it make ? Quarantine is still quarantine.

For me it's just insane. The cost for some hotel quarantines were as much as I spent on rent for an entire YEAR pre-covid. I miss Thailand a lot, but not enough to spend a year's rent on two+ weeks in a single room.

Only a 3 night difference- so much drama

OP@Tony *************
It used to be 15 nights. Guess you're just joining in now?Tony **************
@Greg *********
no I'm going there next month. People flying from LA still needs 15 nights. We got all the variants they can possibly find in city of angels

@To**
The US is not on the list of countries that need 15 day quarantine. Travelers from the US are at the 11 day quarantine stage. Greg **********
OP@Tony *************
I'm sure you're right. Just frustrating to see the Thai Consulate reporting 7 days for people who are vaccinated.Greg **********

That's dumb. Even if Phuket opens to international air travel, 99% of people fly into Bangkok. And as far as I know, there's only 1 country that is even considering developing a vaccine passport. Michael ********
@Garrett **********
yep, totally confusing as well
William ********
As long as you don’t come from a country with variants otherwise you still need to do the 14 days
Jim ********
@William *******
just a few African countries and that’s it 
Matthew *********
And does it mention Astra Zeneca or any of the others???
Ji ***********
Yes. But i dont know why they dont allow moderna to do 7 days but allowed j&j. 😳
Johan *******
@Ji **********
is Pfizer approved by WHO while Moderna isn't? Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
that what they said. But moderna is very effective. 
Bim *******
@Johanjenny **********
they all under emergency use and clinical trials don't end until Jan 2023Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
yes. Keep our finger cross. Johan *******
@Ji **********
"The WHO’s anticipated decision date on Moderna’s vaccine remains end-February, though the agency says this is only an estimate."A waiting game...
Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
the WHO maybe too busy approving others as the article mentioned. 🙄Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
*******************************************************************************************************************
Johan *******
@Ji **********
don't you think that Moderna eventually will be approved? And Astra Zeneca added to the list? Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
really? How did you find out about this detail that this will be updated?Johan *******
@Ji **********
it'll be updated, however probably not in time for me, I'll be traveling May 2. Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
me too and most thai people in the US thinks that this is quite unfair. Johan *******
@Ji **********
guess I'll have to do 10d, despite being fully vaccinated. 
Tony *********
So if you are vaccinated ,you dont need the 100,000usd covid insurance
Stephan ***********
@Tony ********
Right now you still need it, the vaccination just change the quarantine time. The only thing you don't need anymore is the "fit-for-fly-certificate".Johan *******
And what about Moderna? Why 10d?
Greg **********
OP
Steven ********************
Strange cause thailand has AstraZeneca ???
Jim ********
@Steven *******************
AstraZeneca was on another document I saw on one of the thai sites so not sure why it’s not on here Bim *******
@Steven *******************
if you knew the full story apart from Pfizer being 10 times the price it's no wonder Thailand didn't sign up to itGreg **********
