Just to reaffirm a tip posted many times and common sense to most (but not me). Print everything you need and dont rely on downloads.

I just got here and had to show eveything on my phone to;

Newcastle airport check in

Amsterdam airport check in

Disease controll staff at bkk

Immigration control at bkk

Hotel staff

And thats not taking into account all the extra forms eveyone is keen to give you along the way to fill in.

Was enough to give a jumbo packet of paracetamol a migrane.

Ps nice and warm here๐Ÿ˜

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion emphasizes the importance of printing travel documents when traveling to Thailand, as many travelers encountered situations where they were required to present physical copies rather than relying on digital versions. The original post shares a traveler's experience at various checkpoints where showing documents on a smartphone was insufficient, sparking agreement from others who had similar experiences. Some also highlighted the necessity of keeping a copy of COVID-19 vaccination proof handy.

I arrived 2 days ago and it was surprisingly lax. They only checked my Thai pass and PCR test, nothing else.

I was bricking it tbh. Iโ€™ve taken the absolute piss for nearly 4 years now with TVโ€™s and visa runs. I had an onward flight and over 20k cash but wasnโ€™t questioned at all.

We should not convict others so that ourselves are not convicted. Don't convict them because we may also behave like that in the same situation.
