ThaiVisaCentre

Around 38 hotels out of the 170+ have updated their 10 day packages on our directory.

https://asq.in.th

We expect the rest to follow very soon.

We have given the hotels on our ASQ/ALQ booking request platform the ability to publish prices for the upcoming 10 Day, and 7 Day (vaccinated) packages.

Please visit https://asq.in.th to see them.

We expect the rest of the hotels to update their prices this week.

As it stands the ability to apply for this extension will no longer be possible after March 30th.

We have yet to hear of any information that states otherwise, which is why we advise applying for one BEFORE March 31st to avoid any potential complications.

If we do hear anything that states applications will be allowed after March 30th we will be sure to post an update (like last time).

(also yes the OP has picked a very misleading title)

We are happy to announce the family of 5 that ASIM scammed into paying him directly to his bank account arrived a few days ago, and is going through quarantine right now at their ALQ hotel in Pattaya. The total amount he took from them was 207,000 THB.

Unfortunately we were unable to recover any of the money that ASIM stole, and decided to cover all of the expenses out of pocket for this situation if the client allowed us to push the travel date. He however opted to rush the case, and assisted us with some of the ALQ fees. We did everything in our power to expedite the travel of his family from Malaysia to Thailand (insurance, visas, and accommodation).

While this whole event has been very upsetting for everyone, it also has been very eyeopening, and we will continue to improve our security, and process to ensure that our internal security is just as good as our external security.

If we have lost any trust with this fiasco we hope to earn it back.

look at his face, I wouldn't give him 10 THB to buy street food ????

That photo was taken after he was on the run for 65 hours.

I assure you he did not look like this when we hired him.

To me, having a random laundry service picking up clothing from someone in quarantine seems undesirable anyway. There must surely be, at least, a small risk of Covid infection escaping quarantine through such a procedure. Presumably, the laundry service inside a quarantine hotel would have training and processes to ameliorate the risks of picking up and handling clothing of potentially infected guests. This would not be true of a random laundry picked from the Internet.

Here is a list of 8 hotels with a washing machine, and a balcony.

At least you had laundry service. My ASQ hotel (name withheld) closed the laundry months ago and didn't think to compile and maintain a list of local services that can pick up and deliver. And, of course, they didn't advise guests. Imagine being fresh off the plane, first time in Thailand, trying to schedule a laundry service pickup at an ASQ hotel without speaking Thai.

ThaiVisaCentre really need to correct their mailing address as both on their website and FB page they use ''Bangkok 10540'' as the postal code whereas the correct postal code is ''Samut Prakan.''

Our mailing address is

Thai Visa Centre

THE PRETIUM BANGNA
91/11 Moo.15 Bangna-trat Rd. Tambon Bang Kaeo, Amphoe Bang Phli Chang Wat Samut Prakan 10540

In the past google/facebook was not accepting our address submission without submitting it the way you have mentioned.

We have tried to make another edit request.

But please before sending any documents to our office confirm with our staff, as we always send the proper mailing address before accepting the case.

I saw that too... It looks like they have !!.... 

 

Very interested in any response which show ASQ hotels which have a good cancellation policy (other than Agoda).

Currently, outside of a Agoda very few seem to offer a full refund if you can’t travel due to receiving a positive test result the day before the flight into Thailand.

 

Agoda’s free cancellation up to the day before offers great piece of mind, however Agoda has about 30 of the ASQ’s not the full list we see on thaiest.com

Please use our filters (the gold button in the bottom right), these hotels offer small deposits.

https://asq.in.th/?selectedFeaturesFilter=Small Deposit

Also some hotels do offer policies where you can move the date at any time, but there is no full refund outside of agoda.

Improved filtering user interface, as well as added 2 new ASQs, and 3 new ASLQs in Phuket.

Also we are happy to say we have assisted with over 5,500 Booking Requests in the last 30 days on our platform.

Any requests, or suggestions are welcome.

Pre-covid I booked a stay at Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort.  It was to be an expensive luxury break. I have tried to resurrect the trip but get no replies as it now appears on the above list.  They have my money but are not giving me what I paid for - is this Thainess?Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort

Very sorry to hear this, we have heard some hotels providing credit.

We only provide the the booking inquiry platform, and are not really involved with any of the hotels pre-covid behavior.

Finally does anyone have any recommendations for the ASQ hotel?

Can you be a little big more specific in what you need from the ASQ hotel?

You can start your initial search on our ASQ Hotels directory, and use some filters to drill down on something that makes the most sense.

Once you have found one you can try joining a few facebook ASQ groups, and ask about the hotel you have decided upon to ensure that there are no unwanted surprises.

I don't know if true or not but I've just heard that sometime in the past retirement visa renewals through TVC were taking a long time.

 

What is the current average times for retirement visa renewals after payment is made?

 

 

Renewals for yearly retirement visas are currently taking us around 1 week.

Which is slower than our previous 3 day processing, but this is due to how many cases we have to handle.

We do offer rush processing, but you will need to request it.

We are happy to say we have expanded our room filtering, and made additional improvements by onboarding more of the ASQ hotels to directly manage their listings.

You may now use the following room feature filters in combination

• ฿5,000 Deposit
• 7-Eleven Purchase
• Balcony
• Bathtub
• Coffee Machine
• Connecting Room
• Family Suites
• Fitness Allowed
• HDMI Cable
• Halal Food Options
• International Channels
• Internet - Wifi
• Kitchen
• Living Room
• Microwave
• Netflix
• Non-Married Couples
• Outdoor Facilities
• Small Deposit
• Small Fees for Children
• Smoking Rooms Available
• Swimming Pool
• Vegetarian Meals
• Washing Machine
• Work Space
• Yoga Mat

As well as filter by room size, starting prices. You may also sort by rating, price, and cost per SQM.

Hopefully with these types of advanced filtering it will make finding the ASQ hotel that suits your needs the best without spending too much time.

Get a quote from my staff over LINE, we service clients all over Thailand.

As long as you can Send / Receive post we can help..

Price should be similar to what you paid in Pattaya.

I have checked a few hotels, all want full price for our 5/6 year old son, some will give a small discount as he is Thai likewise his Mother but none based on his age ?

Some hotels do provide discounts for young children (under 10).

You can try looking into this one:

https://asq.in.th/asq-thailand-hotels/centara-watergate-pavillion-hotel-bangkok

We tried searching through the free-text descriptions.

I think we need to do some sort of structured policy’s where we need the hotels to complete, and then we could provide advanced filtering on these types of conditions as well.

Are there any hotels where you can book and only pay a deposit excluding Agoda ?

You can try to use the Small Deposit room feature filter.

Each hotel has different terms, some are better than others.
