The hotel reports your 5th day as a NO-SHOW for the testing to the DDC. Then it will be up to the DDC to follow up on the situation with the provinces local authorities. Something like this did happen a while back, and it did make national news: https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/escaped-israeli-officially-cleared-of-covid-19-now-faces-prosecution

Earlier today I rose this issue directly with AXA, as the TQM/TP was promoting the insurance under false terms (both policies did not cover that). This caused a lot of confusion, and we were getting MANY messages asking us about this. It just shows that they don't even know the ever-changing rules ????. I expect something may be announced very soon.

???? No policy covers this anymore : UNLESS it's NOT asymptomatic, or a doctor forces the isolation. Also note that is not AXA, it is https://www.tqm.co.th/ attempting to resell the insurance. It is possible they had this posted before the recent changes by the OIC.

Close contact coverage is not an actual requirement to enter Thailand. So yes, AXA still fully fulfills the Thailand Pass requirements.

Incase anyone wonders what AXA is saying

It would appear to differ from insurer to insurer

This is not 100% true. They will cover on all policies purchased before Feb 15th ????

We did get a update from one which has been covering asymptomatic cases. We are not really sure what to make of it yet, it would seem as if the hotel would need a doctor to also make the call for you to be covered.

Interesting because the issue I was mentioning is not only related to Kbank, it is for almost every bank here requires OTP (or for your bank to allow the 3DS request). This is why they do not ask for billing formation. While this system works great in Thailand, it has made things extremely hard for almost all foreigners inside & outside of Thailand attempting to make payments to Thai companies. Another massive hurdle travelers have been running into is making payments through 2C2P which is what https://www.thailandpsas.com uses (also a 3DS issue). Payments to this system are required for all Phuket/Samui travelers wishing to do the entry program, as they need to buy their RT-PCR tests there.

What I was saying is that travelers may also apply for a visa if they are entering under Test & Go. The issue regarding credit cards is because Thailand merchants are only allowed to process cards through 3D Secure. The US is late in adopting the idea of OTP based cards unlike the US, and ASIA. You may call your card issuer, and ask if you can enable 3D Secure on your card, some do support it upon request.

It's most likely outdated, and just requires you to have proper accommodation for an entry program like AQ / Test & Go / Sandbox.

It's also possible they would have prevented that, as you did not meet the requirements to enter Thailand at that point. Lucky you were able to board the plane ????.

5th day stay is only 1 day of stay + RT-PCR. So you arrive that day, and must stay until the result comes back, and then you can go.

This is correct it was an outdated notice. This was while things were changing daily.

So sorry we missed this. We have since updated the copy. The old copy was due to the constant changes while they were trying to finalize the Test & Go program last month. Test & Go can be used in ALL provinces (but Bangkok Sandbox is indeed closed at the moment) .

Our standard rate is 3,000 THB if 7+ days before arrival (approval guaranteed). Better to hire us 7+ days before arrival or our fees get very expensive due to the process involved, and the fact that with sooner arrivals you jump your whole queue. 480+ Facebook Reviews for this service HERE 75+ Google Reviews for this service HERE Our average rating is 5.0 ????

Yes we are seeing these issues. We have many clients for our Thailand Pass service. Our current procedure is to resubmit all cases if the request gets corrupted, and coordinate the approval process again. Because of this we have been able to successfully handle our case load.

Please note that even-though a hotel may be SHA++ approved some may not actually be offering these packages yet. So we advise contacting multiple to save time.

It will take some time as the Thailand pass does not yet support all provinces either. Currently the follow provinces are supported: You can find the hotels which may offer these packages here (if we do not yet support it on AQ.in.th): https://web.thailandsha.com/shaextraplus?keyword=&province= We are trying our best to support as many provinces but it is very difficult to onboard the hotels in these new provinces as they have very little experience with new requirements. So for now you may have to manually reach out to them one-by-one until we start to add support. You may also check Agoda as it does have a few of these properties in some of the provinces which we do not yet support.

For Test & Go it will vary. On the 1st Day, and the 5th Day you cannot leave the room until the test results arrive. Many hotels offer included meals because of this, but it is currently not required. Just make sure to confirm with the hotel if the meals are included.

We launched 5th day packages today: - 5th Day Test & Go (1x RT-PCR, 1 Day of stay) We hope the following packages cover majority of the Test & Go situations, and you can find the best rates, and options for your trip.

We launched 4 Day packages now. https://asq.in.th/bangkok-test-and-go-4-day-hotels It's not as many hotels but it should make things easier when trying to combine stay.

Most hotels pay at least 2,000 THB for the RT-PCR tests (some have to pay even higher due to the hospital partner arrangements). Transport is included, and some hotels even include breakfast for all days, and 3 meals on the test days (confirm with the hotel). There are a lot of expenses before the actual room cost, and this is why the rates look high, you're not booking a simple room night.

Today we launched the Samui Test & Go packages: https://asq.in.th/samui-test-and-go-hotels We will start to be expanding to all provinces which have SHA++ hotels to make it easier when trying to book your cross-province Test & Go stay. Please bear with us while we establish the required relationships to make this expansion happen.
