OK have your way Garrett but try checking a QR code for one issued prior to December 1st for entry in January 2022 you may find that it is not now valid. As has happened to a friend of mine.

Everyone has a friend that knows a friend that did something somewhere. I haven't seen a single person have their Thaipass "no longer valid".

That's not a change to the Thaipass. Nothing has changed.
