Anyone who has entered Thailand, how do you present your Thailand Pass.

As it is sent in email, or do you scan open and print the QR code details ?.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To present your Thailand Pass upon entering Thailand, it is generally advised to print out the complete document, including the QR code. While some travelers have indicated that displaying the QR code directly from a phone is acceptable, many emphasized the importance of having printed copies to avoid issues such as technical difficulties with devices.

Print everything, print the QR code, not the details. phones get lost, stolen, wiped.

You can show the QR code from your phone, no problem. They will scan it by themselves.

scanning the QR code on paper or on phone take the same amount of time: a fraction of second. How do you know they were slower when everyone was at a different booth? Are you Hawkeye 😂

Why would you travel with a flat battery if you know you'll need your phone upon arrival? Almost all planes are equipped with charging sockets these days.

when we sat in the blue chairs, some nice staff came and helped us to prepare all 4 documents in our hand (including the phone with QR on screen), so no need to go through anything at the counter. Just go, show and pass.

when you print the Thailand pass QR, it's a huge QR code almost useless (A4 format). That's how i understood it was not meant to be printed.

Better print it just the same... Anyway we need hard copies of insurance, hotel reservation, RT-PCR result and vaccination certificate, so it doesn't make much difference

As I told you, Thailand pass on phone was that the majority of passengers had when I arrived last Monday, it was fine. That's the aim of a QR code by the way.

At Bangkok airport you need 4 documents to be ready:

Passport

RT-PCR negative test

Boarding pass

Thailand pass QR on phone

They have a QR code reader.
