You will need to talk with your hotel. Some are relaxed about this, and others provide drive through testing. There is a chance that they might require an extra night, but confirm with them to be sure.

AXA no longer offers a $100,000 USD coverage plan, and they have replaced their old one with the $50,000 USD plan. Thank you for the UX advice, we will look into it. The issue is we now have 3 plans that support "per day" rates.

We have added additional SHA+ hotels for Test & Go in the Bangkok, and Pattaya areas. There also have been a few updates around the two most popular covid insurance insurers. 1) AXA has changed its plan, and pricing to offer $50,000 coverage only. 2) TuneProtect has created a "Lite" $50,000 USD coverage plan in addition to its standard $100,000 USD plan. 3) TuneProtect has changed its coverage plans to cover all durations after 30 days. This means if you are staying longer than 30 days you can now choose the exact duration for your insurance (ex: 37 days). You can see an example of all these changes on our Thailand COVID-19 Insurance Comparison page.

We have just added this. Sorry for the delay, the initial reason we left it out was we needed clarity on the Test & Go rules for Phuket. Phuket is the only Test & Go option which does not require payment of testing, and transport to be included in the hotel reservation.

Thank you, sorry for our silence lately. We have been working hard to get hundreds of TP approvals. Our team hopes that things settle down in a week, or two. To improve your chances of TP approval we advise following Clear images of QR codes (black & white, and cropped) Proper insurance provider with a 1 page document which confirms requirements. Apply during non-peak hours. We are working on helping new SHA+ hotels meet the requirements to accept guests for Test & Go.

We suggest booking hotels that are a little more expensive if you are in a RUSH to complete your booking. If you have time then you can pretty much pick anything, and you will eventually get a response. The lower end group of entry hotels are being bombarded with inquiries, and are struggling to cope.

We are working on a better way to determine hotels testing practices. Many hotels will allow testing up to 11PM without causing additional delays. But if you are arriving after 11PM then you are most likely looking at having to book another "night" due to how hotels work (some may be more accommodating than others around this topic).

Couple of big updates. 1) Test & Go (combined list with SHA+ only hotels) You may view the new combined list here: https://asq.in.th/bangkok-test-and-go-hotels 2) Bangkok / Pattaya Sandbox Options We also added support for Bangkok Sandbox options for those who do not meet the country travel requirements for Test & Go here: https://asq.in.th/bangkok-sandbox-hotels Prices include tests, and transport, and hotels will continue to add their information daily.

Has anyone successfully submitted for their Thailand Pass using a single dose J&J vaccine? If so what did you do for the 2nd dose as they require the date to be different than the 1st dose. We are worried if we pick a invalid date on the 2nd dose it will result in an automatic rejection.

The Thailand Pass system is online now at: https://tp.consular.go.th/ However it is experiencing extreme load, and has some issues on Mobile browsers.

The country list has been expanded..

From what we understand they will be either included, or not included. Unfortunately it seems like there is no official answer on which one it is yet.

We are hoping very soon, the issue is that we don't have clarity around testing, and transport requirements. While we have had one report of someone getting approval for their COE using the PSAS system for tests for a 1 night Test & Go in Phuket using a SHA+ hotel, we are unsure if this was a mistake, or if this is the actual process.

We have updated our FAQ around the Thailand Pass here: https://asq.in.th/thailand-pass It should answer some of the pending questions. We are still waiting on clarity surrounding the SHA+ testing, and transport ????

Yes RT-PCR, and transport is included. If you find a hotel which is not including this please report the hotel to [email protected] ???? This only currently applies to AQ hotels.

We think it may go two ways. 1) Submission to a test facility which will connect it to the Thailand Pass, they may know if you did not submit your results. 2) Honor system (if you test positive you need to self report) You are correct this step is very unclear. I was just mentioning that it is clear that the tests fees will be included, and ATK is required.

To make it very clear the official PR Thai Government facebook account has posted the following post SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/thailandprd/posts/4761140397242670 It clearly mentions that tests must be included in the accommodation price, and that an ATK self test is required for the Test & Go program. This was posted today.

To be clear for AQ hotels all tests are included. This means the RT-PCT, and the ATK test (for self testing).

J Residence Pattaya is actually an AQ hotel.

Under a recent development yesterday SHA+ hotels in Phuket will be participating in Test & Go but the process is not clear yet. It may be possible they use the existing process with ThailandPSAS, and arranging your own SHA+ transport. However in other regions where they will expand the Sandbox this may not be the same process, and all-inclusive packages may be required. Unfortunately things are still unclear regarding SHA+ only stay, and seem to change every day. We were informed by the end of next week this will be all sorted out.

We have an update on how SHA+ stay will work for the "Bangkok / Pattaya" sandbox, and Test & Go. The SHA+ hotels will need to have a partner hospital, and also package the test, and hotel pickup into their rate. Those who already made SHA+ "standard bookings" may have trouble meeting these requirements. It is not clear if travelers can buy the test, and pickup separately (it seems to be packaged). So the result is a similar purchase model as AQ stay.

Update on https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/: "The website will allow traveller whose application has been pre-approved to continue their application process to obtain COE from the Royal Thai Embassy or the Royal Thai Consulate-General until 7 November 2021." So as long as you have pre-approval you can continue to submission past the Nov 1st cutoff date.

The Thailand Pass Website has updated its homepage. You may view it HERE. This is a step in the right direction, and does give us a little confidence that the launch will indeed be on the morning of November 1st.

Many hotels are allowing "2 night stay" (1 day). Confirm with the hotel on how they may handle your situation.
