jackdd Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 If you search for a hotel in Bangkok on Agoda it asks you: Quote Visiting Thailand? Start here, and make sure your entry requirements are covered. Book stays for vaccinated travelers with inclusive PCR tests and airport transfer, or all-inclusive quarantine stays for non-vaccinated travelers. Then you click on the button there to just see those packages. This is probably one of the easiest ways to book such a package. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiam110 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I ended up booking direct with the hotel, wouldn't say it was a pleasant experience they all a bit backwards like its 1990, here's a word doc or pdf please fill in your credit card details for authorization including security code etc.. you could return it via email though instead of fax or carrier pigeon. Use a disposable/one-time card if you go this route as its extremely insecure - if it did leak though the merchant would be in clear violation of PCI-DSS (a set of terms governing how card data is transitted and managed, and which is enforced at the scheme level - i.e. visa / mastercard / amex) so you'd have little problem with getting the charges refunded for peace of mind.

It would be expected that they built their website to earn commission from the hotels. Nothing wrong with that and they have created a good and useful website. They appear to be a booking website except you do not book with them. They collect all your data and supply it to the hotel who then contacts you to proceed a booking. What the website at asq.in.th does not do is state they they will share your data with 3rd parties nor do they give you the option to "opt out" of this. Could you imagine if booking.com, Expedia, Agoda etc. did the same and shared your full name, date of birth, nationality and travel plans with 3rd parties? Nowhere on the asq.in.th site do they say that they are thaivisacentre.com. They have a "privacy policy" that is clearly worthless. Next time I will be more guarded with my info. Maybe you don't care about yours as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
