Just went to Ao Phang Nga National Park (James Bond Island), and upon arriving was asked to see proof of vaccination (they were fine with a picture off my phone) and also asked if I had my third shot, which I said I had just got my vaccine in September and I was free to go.

Not sure if it’s just here or other National Parks as well

TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon visiting Ao Phang Nga National Park, proof of vaccination is required for entry, and a photo of the vaccination card is acceptable. Visitors may also be asked if they have received their third vaccine dose. This policy aligns with national guidelines for parks and may be consistent across other national parks in Thailand.

the lake is the best its where i have seen the most wildlife, elephants all the monkeys boar, clouded leapord even found tiger tracks when i took someone there from London Zoo.

All that high area on map above your pointy thing is mainly Khoa Sok, thats the park headquarters where most of the tourists go, though i was there October and was empty

my first time I had to go spartan because all else was full. Slept on bamboo and had no towel. Still good haha. I PM you our last boat driver he is local so might be good contact but you need Thai speaker help to set it up.

I should probably find that page as I got some more parks I plan on going to, more surprised they actually cared about the date

Not sure if it is for unvaccinated or all but I saw some diving needing test result prior. To be fair if they open for example Surin Island and visit the natives I think it is good even if I personally would prefer them to restrict if they haven't gotten the vaccination.

Luckely I travelled and visited all over Thailand and SEA when it was still a free country...

there is a unofficial english one as well, probably better unless you read Thai.
