Transit Passengers what do they need

[one_dolla]

I have two friends both soon to fly from PP via Bangkok and on to Europe I have been searching the web for them, not computer users, trying to find out what they need to simply transit the airport both are there for around two hours fully vaccinated and with certificates.
Any ideas what if anything they actually need? (other than passports of course)
cheers

No need to buy insurance when the travellers already have a valid medical insurance.
I transited at Bangkok twice over the last four weeks and at Bangkok airport there are no checks other than a boarding pass check. All checks are done at check in so I would contact the airline to make sure what they consider enough proof for vaccination and insurance.

Current transit requirements, no insurance and you'll be denied check-in, witnessed dozens of people being denied check-in for this reason the last 3 times whilst checking in at Phnom Penh.

Also, pay close attention to point no.10

You'd think that a country that has been welcoming international visitors for decades could manage to publish this in passable English.

Then they can buy a useless Thai COVID insurance for the hours they spend @ Bangkok airport.

1300 baht return.

The word 'only' seems a contradiction from a self insured person.
