Test & go hotel booking

[essex boys]

Hi all, I’m just in the process of booking my 1 night test & go hotel, they have asked for a confirmation email with a copy of my passport, my flight ticket, my vaccinations certificate and my insurance…anybody else had to do this? Just seems strange that for me to even get as far as the hotel everything they are requesting would have had to be in place and checked countless times. I just thought it was a bit odd to request it

Shortly after booking my one night T&G, I was only asked for my flight number and arrival time. This was two days ago.

I was asked for the same things by my hotel (passport, vaccination certificate, flight ticket, insurance). I am not comfortable sending my passport via e-mail as it is not secure and I don't see any reason why they would need this information. I am thinking what to do, I guess I will contact the hotel and ask why they need this information and what they want to do with it.

[internationalism]

yes, all hotels need those documents.

Copy of your pass will be given to hospital, so they can issue your test certificate.

The whole of T&G idea is plain stupid, too complicated and engaging too many parties in this process. Going away from thailand is much simpler, copy of vax and online locator within country.

Most of the time guest is taken from airport to hospital, after to hotel.

Some hotels do testing onsite, but only at certain time, 3x per day, so there would be delay with results.

Only one hotel promised me to do test within 15-45 minutes of arrival. But it's exception

Why would hospital need my passport? They just need my name to issue the certificate. I was before staying at SHA+ hotel at Phuket and they didn't need any of these documents.

How with or without Covid would you check in to a hotel in Thailand without showing your passport?

[internationalism]

hotel books test for you and passes to hospital your details or you would have to show them your passport at hospital.

Showing your ID before test is a common practice around the world, to prevent abuse.

Simpler for the guest is just open the window in the transport car for test than showing your pass for check.

When I had arrived to hospital the nurse had a copy of my pass and some papers related to test at her hand. Quick glance at my face and copy, to confirm identity.

Another time one person was checking passport before nurse test. That was more complicated, I had to open car window twice.

At your sha+ hotel you didn't have to present your pass before testing, because reception already had it at check in

Showing a passport is totally different thing than sending the passport via unsecured and unencrypted email so it will be stored on their mail server (for how long? forever?).

I don't have a problem showing them physical copy on site.

Exactly, showing ID, not sending them a copy via e-mail. I haven't seen that yet. I don't have a problem showing them my passport.

No hotel had just my passport number and I was tested at the airport before checking-in to the hotel. They didn't have my passport.

And how long will they keep your passport copy? You really think that's safer?

But anyway, if you want to book a test&go, you will have to mail them a copy.

Definitely safer. It is not stored digitally, cannot be hacked, cannot be intercepted during transfer, cannot be forwarded to other parties etc.

You seem like you don't care about sensitive private information at all. If I don't mail them a copy what will they do? I will have Thailand Pass already and all the documents so I am coming to Thailand. Can they revoke my Thailand Pass?

I'm taking care of my privacy but I'm not paranoic.

Without test&go booking you won't get the TP.
