Submitted ThaiPass for Phuket Sandbox Jan 1, got it just now jan 5, for a flight Jan 8. Phew!
Gf had to call some number, and she was able to get it looked at first. They told her they were basically processing for people flying the next day or the day after, so a bit of relief to have this already taken care of 3 days to go.
