From December 16, 2021, people arriving in Thailand as part of the Test & Go and Sandbox schemes will only be required to take an ATK test on arrival and will no longer be required to take a RT-PCR test. 

 

Furthermore, people arriving as part of the Test & Go scheme will only need to book transportation to their hotel of choice and take an ATK test. 

 

They will no longer be required to book a hotel room for one night.

you never commented on what I wrote, you only asked for a Link

I repeat what i said before 

The ATK testing will be done at hotels (SHA+-AQ) who have agreements contracts with hospitals in case of positive test.

so that’s why any arrival needs to book at an approved Hotel instead of any hotel-house-home-condo

The Hospital Staff will be doing the testing, and they’ll be using the hotel as a base,

you won’t be self-testing yourself.

if results are negative 10-20 minutes you go leave

You may want to reconsider this with the new variant going around. ????  I reckon that rules will be changing dramatically quickly.  

No I’m sticking to booking nearest hotel to BKK

Get the ATK over and done with ASAP.

Then free

Where's your link to show this is so. Don't spread misinformation.

My information is correct

What’s your own take on Hotels being used in relation to ATK, or do you only feel happy when you have something to complain about

The ATK testing will be done at hotels (SHA+-AQ) who have agreements contracts with hospitals in case of positive test.

So I reckon

Book hotel near BKK airport

go for ATK

then free to go anywhere

We are starting to get a more clear picture of pricing.

For Pattaya we have seen one hotel offering a 2,500 THB ATK pickup package (we assume shared).

For Bangkok we will request pricing very soon to get a better idea of what the hotels will be offering.

This is good news about pricing coming down, but I still don’t really understand how this will work in hotels.

Who will make the test, Hotel staff or Hospital staff linked to hotel, or individual tourist.

Will we need to book a room, or simply book transport from airport to hotel only , the ATK cost 40-80 Thb ??

thanks for your update, i'm hoping to arrive December 10-16

I am arriving after Dec. 1 but even if new Test and Go doesn't require 1 night hotel, transportation, and RT-PCR test I already prepaid my SHA Plus+ hotel 3500 baht deposit for these items and that is non-refundable.  It says I pay the balance of the hotel amount when I arrive.  Yes I know my mistake for booking non-refundable! 

 

I'm assuming there's no chance of me getting my money back even though it's possible none of those services are required.

When they made changes in April I got refunded 4 days and this was during my stay, so ask the hotel about this

The hotels are normally very good with these type of things, it depends on your booking details of course

And I've already got my test and go hotel booking and Thailand pass for late December. I shouldn't have applied so far in advance ! Oh well, considering I was originally expecting a 7-10 day quarantine, it is still a win.

When changes have been made in the past Hotels have issued refunds, so you should be able to get the costs for the PCR refunded.

I’m not sure the price comparison for Airport Transport + Hotel room + PCR compared to ATK test, a PCR can cost from 2,500 so can that be removed from your payment??, ask the hotel and see what they

It appears that RT-PCR will be replaced by an ATK test.

It is still unclear how this will work.

We will do our best to update our platform to accommodate whatever requirements will be in place.

From what we understand the sandbox will be reduced to 5 days, and the Test & Go no longer requires a hotel night booking.

What is unclear is if the test, and pickup is provided by the AQ hotels, or the hospitals directly.
 

I read this also

No confirmation date one per said December 1^st where the picture says 16th

Chaotic again sadly, the hotels will get bombarded with questions they cannot answer because it’s not being fully discussed yet

For example an Rapid AT test takes 10 minutes for result, so that’s not even enough time to go to your hotel room from hotel reception, by then you’ll have a negative result and you can leave the hotel, what’s the point of all of this really

Many many tourists are simply refusing to travel to Thailand now and are sharing their feelings with people who have never been. Thailands reputation has gone from “Amazing to Don’t Go “

I'll be arriving in BKK after midnight so likely won't arrive at the AQ hotel until 2 am.  Can anyone refer me a hotel where I will only have to book 1 night hotel / vary early check in or late check out?  If I arrive at the hotel on December 3 at 2 am, will I book a hotel for December 2 since it's before check in time or for December 3?

Hotel dates normally start after 12pm- or 2pm so if arrive 3rd 2 am, I'd say your booking starts 2nd from 2pm onwards, as you will have to check out approx 3rd 2pm onwards unless you get late check out 

I think the team will go backwards for 2-3 months, I hope I’m wrong but I feel they squad is at the end of the cycle which is usually 4^th season

Can Gio shake them up or wake them from mediocre performances this season

Thursday game is HUGE

If I were to apply for Thailand Pass, which of the following pictures would I upload?

The document containing the QR code was generated by Salem (Oregon) Health.  It accounts for my 1st two shots.  My 3rd shot was done at Walmart (similar to Asda in UK).  I have no QR code that reflects the 3rd Walmart shot.  Walmart kept my original paper CDC card that had the first two shots recorded and replaced it with a new CDC card where they copied the first two entries and added their own third.

 

I would say, upload the certificates, and upload the same QR code for 1st & 2nd doses, see what happens

I will also be going through this again in 3 weeks.  the JW was my home away from home for about 10 years (although 5+ years ago) and I loved going back last week. They were so professional about everything and I am sure I'm going to use their Test & Go again.  For an extra couple thousand baht, I know I'm going to get a private van and everything taken care of. Plus, for anyone with Marriott status, the open bar happy hour before going out and the massive breakfast buffet makes it well worth it. 

 

BTW, I landed at 08:30 AM and was out on the streets of Sukhumvit by 13:00.  It was all around a very good experience.

It looks like the hotels don’t really care if you check out within 6-8-10 or even 24 hours, as long as they get the one night payment.

I’m arriving at BKK 12pm, going to Pattaya, so check in Hotel 3pm test 3:45pm??? do you think I will be able to leave same night, or next morning ???

So good luck to everyone.

the app asks for info on both initial shots, why would you leave the first one blank? What's the point, just asking for rejection?  I have a booster too, but there isn't any place to put that info in.  It is included in the QR Code though.

you can add more in the section below, so you can add your 3rd dose 

I did it through a trial run using same QR code for all 3 and it went through in 7 minutes,

Arrived just before midnight Friday 19th. Flew LAS-SFO-NRT-BKK on UAL/ANA. Had to show Thailand Pass, visa, and COVID docs at all three departure airports. At NRT they asked for even more documents including my checked baggage stickers.

 

At BKK arrival the test and go hotel tried to pack 3 of us in one van. I asked nicely for a separate ride and someone from AOT graciously volunteered to drive me in an AOT vehicle. First thing at the hotel was an ID check and swab test. Then check-in was a bit tedious. They wanted my seat numbers on all of my flights. Was told I could not leave the room until test results were in.

 

 

Arrived at the hotel at 1:00 AM and departed at 11:30 AM.

where was your hotel Bangkok or Pattaya

what was your total time in hotel 01:00-11:30 same day check in check out?

10 hours???

or 34 hours ??

@boltWe closed company after, I think it was something like 6% of value which was 4.5m it was 270,000 + transfer 50k.

 

@Brick TopThose Thai company's therefore had to be closed down properly not by me but by my accountant. The most expensive one cost 480,000 to close , others cost around 300,000 , it totally depends on how long the company has owned the property , the original cost of the property and the sale price.

 

You are both tying the Company closure to a property purchase or sale. This is completely wrong.

When a property owned by a Company is transferred to an individual or sold, the applicable tax is paid to the land office at that time. (see my post above). After that the company is just that, a Company with a capitalisation, that if required to be closed has certain procedures to follow (by law), which usually takes 2-3 months (usually a lawyer or accountant would do this for you). 

Closing the Company is completely separate from any sale or transfer that the Company may have previously owned.

You’re right selling a house is completely NON related. However, my experience was all in one, job done they took their cut and that was that.

Whether it was right or wrong I did not say, i told the OP what I paid 

We changed COMPANY owned house to Thai ownership

We closed company after, I think it was something like 6% of value which was 4.5m it was 270,000 + transfer 50k

This was 2017

i was there in July Sandbox, and it was 750 I think one way

Simple question (I hope): On the Insurance page what does "Effective Date   dd/mm/yyyy  ▢" refer to?

The final date of the insurance cover, the commencement date of the policy or something else?

Thanks very big

Start date of your policy, Commencement date

I don't blame you for testing. A good idea.  I wonder how many others are doing this giving the Government a false impression of the success of Thailand Pass. 555.

 

I won't need this until next year and I am monitoring the situation hoping that by the time I need it at least some of the issues are resolved. I am not confident.

I already have insurance which was used for COE, so I haven’t lost any monies yet

Flight tickets are NOT required for Thailand pass 

Hotel confirmation using AGODA receipt seems to work, and then cancel for free later after test is complete

Are you sure registration will go through? Multiple users have reported it cannot be done in Chrome.

 

There is most definitely a selection list for AQ using Firefox. At least for Bangkok.

I have successfully applied 2 times using Chrome Incognito mode

Both applications were tests to see how it work, and both were approved

I booked hotel using AGODA, got confirmation email from AGODA, uploaded confirmation into the system

(then I cancelled hotel for free)
