TLDR : Answer Summary

As of the date of the discussion, it appears that a COVID-19 vaccination is not a strict requirement for obtaining a visa to Thailand, especially for older individuals who may have health concerns regarding vaccination. However, unvaccinated travelers must undergo a designated hotel quarantine period. It is noted that traveling domestically within Thailand might necessitate presenting vaccination proof or undergoing additional COVID-19 testing. Thus, while a vaccine is not mandatory for the visa itself, it can simplify and ease the travel experience once in the country.

I travel domestically yesterday from Bangkok to Surat Thani by air. Needed antigen test and vaccination certificate to board plane. PCR if not vaccinated. At the hotel, chest, vaccination out, and fill out a form rest of your health symptoms. In return, I will not need a test, because I had to Pfizer’s. My friend had only one in Astro, he will have to get a test again.

Once here, it's much easier to travel in Thailand if you are vaccinated. Each province has it's own covid requirements and you'll end up paying out for repeat covid tests and or doing quarantine time, depending on where you go
