Even tho I have my thai pass printed on check in as I did it all through royal escapes DMC, KLm Airlines would also like to see the insurance, hotel booking, taxi booking I tried telling them you have to have all that confirmed to even have the thai pass so annoying, so the royal escapees emailed me each booking upon checking the hotel dates were the wrong day what a hassle
Answer summary
Travelers must be prepared to show multiple documents including the Thai Pass, health insurance, hotel bookings, and taxi arrangements, as airlines thoroughly check all documentation to avoid penalties for any entry issues once in Thailand. Even if the Thai Pass implies approval, inconsistencies or mistakes can lead to added scrutiny and complications. Travelers are advised to carry printed copies of all required documents due to these strict checks by airlines.

Taxi booking included ASQ Hotel . You can not have separate private taxi. How they know where you go then.

Finnair said to me that every Airline asking all dokuments again, even you have Thai Pass. Why? Because they have huge penalties if they let anybody trough and later something goes wrong . So they don’t

believe some Thai Pass. And at the counter they sure fired stuff if this happens. And they know it very well . If I’m running airline, I never believe some online “pass” for sure when they is so big risk to pay a lot.

If there's anything wrong and you get refused entry to Thailand, the airline is penalized. So they will always check everything thoroughly.

Thailand Pass makes mistakes all the time. People here are constantly saying that they forgot to include something but it still got approved. Even in your own example the date was wrong on something but it still got approved. This is why the airline checks, to cover themselves. They're not going to trust someone else.

@Jeffrey ********
so if someone is denied entry through no fault of the airline, who is responsible for returning them back to their country of origin? I can guarantee you that Thailand won't be paying for that flight

A mistake by Thailand Pass would absolutely not be the airline's responsibility (just as it wouldn't be their responsibility if an immigration officer at a port of entry determined that a visa had been issued in error).

The problem is that Thailand announced with great fanfare that holders of Thailand Pass QR codes would only need the code and the PCR test result for entry, but failed to have IATA update the Timatic database to reflect that. So you now have airline personnel being told by their computer that they have to check the same documents for Thailand Pass as they did for COE, even though that isn't the policy of the Thai government at all. The issue has been pointed out again and again since TP began on November 1, and Thailand hasn't even commented, let alone done anything about it.

tbh, you didn’t need an agency to do it all for you. All very simple… I have heard of quite a few reports of agencies making mistakes or scamming. I may set up a U.K. based agency seeing as so many do not want the hassle and it’s only a 30 minute process to arrange everything. Do you mind if I ask what you paid?

Yeah you’re absolutely right, it is easy if you have the know. Some people just aren’t computer literate, lazy or time poor and this is where a done for you service appeals. The whole package is approx 10,000 bht, so it doesn’t cost that much more to let someone else take all the pressure off and arrange everything for you.

If you can set something up, there is a need for help.
