Apparently the requirements, for now, only hold up for people flying in. Crossing a land border should not be a problem.

I just crossed into Thailand (Mukdahan) now. Again, didn’t ask for certificate (but I had it) just the form about past travel and symptoms.

Vientiane is not a place where you would want to be stuck for very long 😅 good luck man

This morning at Chiang Khong, they didn't ask certificate but you must fill T8 form and stand few seconds front of a big camera for check if you have fever.

More informations maybe that can help. I did that with a french passport and that was the same for 2 foreigners with me (1 US and 1 UK passport). The English girl had a medical certificate from Thai hospital but they didn't care about this, they just asked her to stand front of the IR and fill the T8 form

you cannot run the covid19 test and receive it UNDER 48 hours . .in some countries, it takes up to 5 days until you receive the results. Which FACTUALLY means: The country is CLOSED for entry for ALL and everybody. All that is left is your option to go on standby with your airline and get back homeJames ********
This is the Medical Certificate asked for by Thai Immigration.
