ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello all, had a quick question about COE and flight numbers. I am flying from Denver to Chicago then Chicago to Doha and then to BKK. I noticed my first flight number on my COE is wrong, the flight number was changed but the date and time is exactly the same. I am currently in Chicago. The other two flight numbers are correct. I was able to check in for my next flight with no problem and was told I should be able to check in bkk as well. I was just worried that immigration may have a problem with it once I’m in Bangkok. I guess I’m asking should I consider trying to change the COE before I get there? (If possible) Will immigration check my boarding passes? Will they care about just a number change? Anyone with any experience or info about this?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster is concerned about a flight number discrepancy on their Certificate of Entry (COE) when traveling to Bangkok. While their first flight number has changed, the date and time remain the same. They inquire whether this will cause issues with immigration upon arrival in Thailand. Community responses emphasize that immigration typically focuses on the final flight into Thailand and reassured the poster that a flight number change should not pose a problem as long as all other documentation is correct.

Same Coe date should be no problem

Flight info gets fucked up on travel docs all the time. But definitely make sure you have all your other docs handy or you will be waiting a long time to get out the airport.

Arrived on Thursday you will be ok. But a message to anyone going now it is very serious in Bangkok now a ND believe me all your paperwork is checked thoroughly. Mine was checked 3 times. Thry are particularly interested in your coe insurance documents and negative virus tests

Yes I just arrived and was told its the last flight into bbk that is important. Keep all your boarding passes all paperwork.

I just arrived in BKK three days ago and the only flight that was of any interest whatsoever at the checkpoints ( and there was many of them ) was the one that entered Thailand. Remember to keep a paper copy of your boarding pass as my mobile copy caused a little confusion.

Similar is happening to me. The hotel rep (anantara) said the same thing: only the flight # that enters Thailand is important. But, I've had a rough time getting back to Thailand (latest one: when I went to pick up my visa, the NYC consulate kicked me out for wearing shorts). So I re-applied for my COE. If I were a normal person (

@Anthony *****

it's best to always have a print out of all CoE required documents.

The only one I didn't have was the printed boarding pass.
