Is it necessary to print all documentation for traveling to Thailand, or can I rely on digital copies?

Chris *****

I arrived 2 days ago and it was surprisingly lax. They only checked my Thai pass and PCR test, nothing else.

I was bricking it tbh. I’ve taken the absolute piss for nearly 4 years now with TV’s and visa runs. I had an onward flight and over 20k cash but wasn’t questioned at all.

A+ Easycare. Cheaper and better customer service. My other half had a cancer scare last year and they handled the process brilliantly.

What advice can you give for booking an SHA+ Plus hotel directly in Thailand with required PCR testing?

Chris *****

I booked both via agoda and sent the confirmation email that arrived within minutes. Oddly, many hotels only have day 1 options and you must find a day 5 marked one. My pass was approved in under 12 hours.
