What should I do if I want to change my ticket to arrive in Thailand earlier than my original Certificate of Entry date?

The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) announced the extension of the quarantine period for all arrivals beginning May 1, 2021. Until further notice, all arrivals who hold Certificates of Entry (COE) issued on or later than May 1, 2021 will be required to undergo quarantine for 14 days regardless of their nationality or vaccination status. Travelers who obtained their COE prior to May 1, 2021 and arrive before May 6, 2021 will be quarantined for 7 or 10 days depending on their vaccination status. Also, Thailand has suspended the issuance of COEs for non-Thai nationals traveling from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh until further notice.

based on what you’ve told.... your original plan would get you out of quarantine on the 21st, and your change would (potentially) get you out on either the 15th (best case scenario) in 20th (worst case scenario). Would this make a massive difference to you or your plans given the results? Not an answer or advice, just food for thought.

The actual answer to your question lies with the embassy and the Thai government. We can only give you (hopefully) productive ideas and options. As the rules and regulations have changed since you got issued with your COE no one here knows the answers for you, sorry. I do wish you the best though

Have you tried asking the hotel you’re booked in about length of time with regards to dates etc? They might some insight since the rules keep changing before, during , and after bookings are done 🤷🏼‍♂️

It's worth a try, but I don't think it will work, as you will need a new COE, and this will be issued after the 1st.

Pretty sure you've missed the boat on that one now as amended CoE would be on or after 1 May.
