What is Thailand Pass and what are my options to enter Thailand?

The Thai government implemented an online service to register all tourists entering Thailand. This service validates the compliance with all the measurements to control the spread of Covid-19. 

The Thai Government has been updating their Covid-19 Policies as the pandemic evolves. In mid-April it was announced that the new regulations would be trouble-free but still keep Thailand Pass as a security measure to keep control and safety within the kingdom. 

So, what are the changes coming with the new regulatory measures?

Starting from 1 May 2022, travelers entering Thailand by air will be subject to new entry measures, Test and Go, Sandbox, are completely removed and we are left with only two options.
