mahsn Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Must i book for an ASQ hotel for a week for Bangkok Sandbox ? (Fully vacinated, but i'm not from a low-risk country. So have to stay in Bangkok for a week before travelling somewhere else.) Booking a SHA+ hotel package for 7 days is not possible ? I think it will be cheaper than an ASQ, as i don't need 3 meals etc. included. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant SHA+ hotels, which aren't from AQ list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has received her COE already - I have not (even though we both applied at the same time.) To compound matters, I’m getting conflicting messages from the Thai Embassy in Washington D.C.: the webpage says the embassy will stop processing COE applications on November 1st, whereas a staffer my wife contacted via Line app indicated they’ve already stopped processing all COE applications. Dont worry.. Other posters on here say its a totally normal perfectly working system !! ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that sandbox is running in Bangkok yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhacsyn Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) A bit of current feedback. Had to leave Thailand and pop to UK for few days. Uploaded basic documents and applied for COE on the old website on Wednesday morning for arrival in Phuket. Pre approval received 3 hours later. I had already preempted and booked a flight from UK to Phuket about a month ago for 1st November. Went ahead and booked SHA + hotel and could do so for one night only. Hotel (4*) cost was Baht 1,000 and taxi from airport to Patong Baht 800. Then booked my arrival Covid test on the Thailand Pass website. Cost Baht 2,400. Uploaded balance of documents Wednesday pm and COE received a few hours ago (Friday pm). No tracking app, only MorChana app needed. I guess this is similar to what can be expected with the upcoming Thailand pass system. Let's see.....

JCP108 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I wonder if you arrive in BKK under the "no quarantine" plan and go to your quarantine hotel on your first day...if you don't get your test results back by checkout time, do they charge you their regular rate for the second day? Or, will they charge you another $6k same as the first day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have a friend wanting to return. He booked an AQ on Agoda confirming they will transport and test at his hotel. He then got an email and they requested a mini COE: Photo of passport Photo of vaccines Photo of insurance confirmation Photo of flight information He was then told it would take them 48 hours to send him a hotel confirmation certificate that he could use on Thailand pass app. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck2 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 They say: quarantine-free, but it's not - 1 day in reality! A typical misinformation of the military government. Another example: They say our orders are only for your health/protection against the covid virus. The reality: many, many of their orders are made to MAKE MONEY (for the riches). More examples: look at the headline of this thread: 1 day "quarantine" for the foreigners = falangs are forced to pay for the covid losses of the Thai hotel owners. BEFORE, quarantine-free moving was allowed only for "special" (hotels in) cities/provinces; Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Ko Samui, Hua Hin, Pattaya without considering the reality (danger) of the covid situation. Poor provinces have been missed (sorted out). The falangs, including returning expats, had and have to show double covid vaccination .... ehm because of a danger for the Thai population. In reality: the danger of a covid infection doesn't and didn't come from the falangs, but from the Thais themselves. The vaccination rate in the foreign countries has been by far much, much higher than in Thailand, where the military dictator needed so much time to order the vaccines in foreign countries. the military leader made big mistakes in handling the covid problem. The most serious one was in April 2020 allowing the Thai people to return to their families for celebrating their songkran at home. Result: transporting the disease to the provinces and therafter back to Bangkok and the surrounding areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing the airline didn't refused to complete their booking before receiving hotel confirmation! Some of you will think I'm crazy for saying that. Those of you who have lived in Thailand for some time know I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
