Note the details  "Stayin hotel one night ....or until negative result is received.."  And what if they take more than one night, two, three four?  It is not withing your control.  And of course what if a positive result...

AQ hotels in the past do allow extension of stay at a lower cost rate, and SHA+ hotels of course allow this.

From what we understand nothing changes if you are tested positive, you would have to go to the hospital (this is why the insurance is required).

What I am wondering is what "low risk countries" means. It certainly is not based on Covid-19 prevalence. Perhaps, it means "countries where we would come under huge pressure from business if we did not allow entry".

Several are on the list for visa exempt entries and some under a bilateral agreement. That could be a consideration. See: https://thaiembdc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Visa-Exemption-Scheme-7-Dec-768x1087.png

A few are also were on the list for 15 day visas on arrival that seems to in effect now but no new list I can find.

IK don't see how it can be less than 2-3 nights depending on what time you arrive.

 

Under the existing ASQ, testing done at the hotel and takes a little over 24 hours for result. With presumably a larger number of people coming, I do nto see how it can be made any quicker, assuming they stick to PCR test as opposed to rapid antigen test.

Do you know if I can choose a HOTEL SHA+ in Pattaya or must it be in Bangkok for the 1 night

It is possible that they have been upgrading their equipment. There are technologies available now that can deliver the results of RT-PCR tests within less than an hour. Even a year ago, there were expensive machines that could do it in four hours.

It must be within two hours by road from the arrival airport. Thus, if arriving at Suvarnabhumi, Pattaya is allowed.

We hear that the actual Thailand Pass website may be the following url:

Hard to know how we will proceed without the exact process in place.
