TLDR : 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.

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.

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 angelsGarrett ***********
@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 **********

I'm sure you're right. Just frustrating to see the Thai Consulate reporting 7 days for people who are vaccinated.Reply to

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 ********

yep, totally confusing as wellReply to

As long as you don’t come from a country with variants otherwise you still need to do the 14 days

@Johanjenny **********
that what they said. But moderna is very effective. Johan *******
@Ji **********
guess I'll have to do 10d, despite being fully vaccinated. Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
me too and most thai people in the US thinks that this is quite unfair. Johan *******
@Ji **********
it'll be updated, however probably not in time for me, I'll be traveling May 2. Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
really? How did you find out about this detail that this will be updated?Johan *******
@Ji **********
don't you think that Moderna eventually will be approved? And Astra Zeneca added to the list? Ji ***********
@Johanjenny **********
the WHO maybe too busy approving others as the article mentioned. 🙄Ji ***********

So if you are vaccinated ,you dont need the 100,000usd covid insurance

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".Reply to
