TLDR : Answer Summary

There are rumors and concerns circulating about the potential expiration of the Test and Go program in Thailand by the end of the month. However, discussions on various forums reveal no official announcements yet. Some individuals express frustration over the lack of verified sources for the claims, while others speculate that the government may reconsider existing restrictions due to rising COVID-19 cases. It appears the situation is fluid, with government meetings planned to address these issues, but for now, it remains uncertain.

Tpass will stay indefinitely and will probably replace the good old landing card eventually. The way cases are going in Thailand there is no way are they going to scrap the second PCR test.

Don't take this to heart until after it happens. It is just a tip from someone in the know. It is not a gaurantee to happen.

What we used to call "tap room gossip ". My rumour is they are running scared due to an increase in infections, and will start to re impose restrictions.European countries are now learning to live with virus - Thailand never.

Well, the west have basically said we give up. Let the chips fall where they may, and hope no more deadlier strains.

Many Asian countries are trying to not lose a single person to something they think they can get a handle on, or outlast, and also not have it be a strain on their various healthcare systems.

(Just trying to be philosophical here.)

Nothing on the various visa forums as yet. There is pressure from the tourist sector to get the government to scrap the second PCR test and even the ThailandPass system, but we’ll just have to wait and see if they act.

I have no issue personally with the first test and short quarantine. If nothing else, it gives some statistics. The 2nd test scenario should change though. Just my 2 cents. Canadian.

Only in your room until you get the result of the arrival (1st) test. Then you are free once you get the negative result.

You have omited to mention about 2nd test day 5 - with extra expense and the risk of being positive.

, my statement said that "The 2nd test scenario should change though. Just my 2 cents. "

I personally think they need to get rid of it. If you test positive on day 5, that is 99.9% local transmission as far as I am concerned. :)
