We are starting to get a more clear picture of pricing.

For Pattaya we have seen one hotel offering a 2,500 THB ATK pickup package (we assume shared).

For Bangkok we will request pricing very soon to get a better idea of what the hotels will be offering.

This is good news about pricing coming down, but I still don’t really understand how this will work in hotels.

 

Who will make the test, Hotel staff or Hospital staff linked to hotel, or individual tourist.

 

Will we need to book a room, or simply book transport from airport to hotel only , the ATK cost 40-80 Thb ??

 

thanks for your update, i'm hoping to arrive December 10-16

You will need to book transport which comes with the ATK test (on the hotel premises).

This will start for arrivals after the 15th.

This is all extremely new but here is where the hotels will be publishing their rates for these new Test & Go ATK packages:

Please note that we don't expect to have a significant amount of options until the end of this upcoming week.

Most hotels still need to confirm pricing with their Hospital partners, and some are waiting on additional clarification.

It seems like the removal of the RT-PCR test may be delayed due to Omicron.

We are still waiting on the final decision regarding this.

Would make sense I think.

They also confirmed that the Sandbox / AQ will be reduced to 5 days for vaccinated individuals.

But not for those from African countries. They have to do the 14 day quarantine as mentioned in a urgent announcement on the Thailand Pass website.

A note for fellow travelers.

 

There are dozens of SHA Extra + bookings available on Agoda for under 1000 baht. Just be aware that this is the room component solely. When you book the charges for RT-PCR and transport will increase the final price. Many of these are non-refundable.

 

I don’t know if this is an intentional deception on the part of the hotels or Agoda preparing for an ATK requirement by separating out the charges.

 

Whatever the intent the result makes it more difficult to comparison shop using Agoda Quarantine searches.

 

As always, be certain before taking a non refundable booking.

Correct, all travelers coming from African countries are subject to a 14 day AQ.

Yes, we noticed this too, some are packaged, and some are added after the fact when you attempt to checkout.

Our AQ.in.th platform has always attempted to be as transparent as possible to ensure easy price comparison.

We are working on direct payment processing soon which will allow instant confirmation letters through the hotels.

We have updated our platform for Samui hotels which offer Sandbox, and Test & Go entry options.

- Samui Test & Go Hotels

- Samui Sandbox Hotels

We expect more hotels to release pricing over the next week.


These are all bundled packages which includes airport pickup, as well as tests.

One thing to note about Samui entry options:

The connecting flight on Bangkok Airways must be on an approved sealed route flight. The qualifying sealed route flights are always 4 numbers beginning with "51". Any of the flights you can see for sale on the Bangkok Airways website, such as PG171, are public flights only for domestic passengers. For example, sealed route flights PG5125 and PG5171 flights can only be booked by your international carrier and are not publicly for sale, since they are intended only as sealed route transfer flights for passengers that are arriving in the country and have not been through the Test & Go program yet.
