Good morning. Its my first time to travel to Thailand. Ive received my Thai pass 2 days ago. Should I download the morchana app now and upload my Thai pass or later when I arrive in Thailand? Thank you.
Answer summary
The consensus among community members is that you can download the Morchana app now, but there are mixed experiences regarding its functionality. Some users reported that the app does not work well before arriving in Thailand, while others have successfully used it. It's generally recommended to have the Thai Pass ready and consider printing any necessary documents before your trip. Many travelers have mentioned it may not be necessary to use the app at all.

I arrived in Bangkok this afternoon, after health screening only to check if have insurance and all and i did bring hars copys of all vaccinations and did have lab report that no covid 19 present, RT-PCR test 48hrs before, tyen proceeded to immigration and then sat to wait hotel transfer, about 1 hour due to the other person that didnt board the airplane at Malaysia.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but the test and go, the hotel tranfer takes to to a medical test before tou arrive at hotel, drive from Don Muaeng t9 the other side of Bangkok then back to hotel with was 5mins from Airport.

Had test at 3pm and left hotel at 8.45pm with a negative test result.

They didn't ask me 5 of the 6 times I entered Thailand either.

But those are the same odds as Russian Roulette 😲

They may want to check you have it on your phone when you enter.
