TLDR : Answer Summary
The community suggests that while a QR code may be accepted to prove vaccination status when entering Thailand, it is advisable to have printed copies of all necessary documents. Multiple users shared experiences indicating that having both a digital and physical form of the vaccination certificate is beneficial, as it can prevent delays at the airport. Some users reported successful entry with QR codes displayed on their phones, but emphasized the importance of having printed documents to avoid complications.

Do they really check it or just having a glance on it? build my one on photoshop, looks legit tho

Always safe to have a printed copy of anything but from experience, showing my vaccine certificate on my phone was fine and they didn't give it more than a cursory glance.

I got randomly picked at the airport through security and show it from my phone and all good

Quicker too. Drives me nuts when people in front hold up the queue finding stuff on their phones! Much quicker and easier to just hand over the required documents.

yes like Brandon said keep printed copies just case in case they ask. I have entered 4 times into Thailand since April so I can give you my experience. They did not have QR code reader, but I opened my app with QR code that also has the Covid vaccination information as text. They were ok with that.

Always print everything out that you'll need in Thailand. They love printed things and trying to show on your phone could cause huge delays.

Also never sign anything official in black ink or they think it's a copy. Blue ink only
