They were doing appointments, I think their online system broke again though.

Can you take a screen shot? I've had textnow for years and never had to pay anything.

The COE is mostly for the airport. You'll be fine, have a safe trip man.

Immigration won't care, as long as the airport doesn't have a problem you're good to go.

No, you don't need the sim card to use it. Textnow is free, but you can pay for the upgraded version that removes ads and holds your number.

Textnow is a VIOP service, meaning it sends SMS and calls over the internet so as long as you have a data connection you can call or text anyone.

The downside to using the free version is if you don't send a text message or call in 7 days they take your number away.

You can book your hotel on any website. Then send them an email and they'll send you a link to pay for the tests separately.

Direct flight meaning you can't flying into Bangkok, needs to be directly into Phuket from outside Thailand

Thai embassies aren't issuing the METV currently, only a SETV or a visa exempt entry.

1 bank statement is fine.
