stat Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Does the transport need to be with the hotel or can I book any SHA+ certified transport as long as I have a confirmation? Who will check the transport confirmation. the airline or airport officials? Booked Transport was not part of my (approved) Thailand Pass application in december. Hotel asks 3000Baht HKT to Krabi; SHA+ Taxi asks 2300 Thanks! Edited January 15, 2022 by stat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novster Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 When I flew into Phuket on the 5th after going through immigration and baggage reclaim I did my covid test immediately outside the terminal. Once done you were directed to the gaggle of drivers holding name boards. I don't think they'd know or care whether the drivers worked for the hotel or not and although I had booked with the hotel it wasn't checked at any point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bokningar Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 If the transport is found on this site it should be OK https://web.thailandsha.com/shalists?keyword=airport Happy travels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novster Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Not sure the Krabi element makes any difference. I actually went to a cheap airport hotel and waited for the result which came through about 6 hours later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The written rules say that transport must be "to your SHA Plus certified hotel by pre-booked SHA Plus transportation". Thus, as long as it is pre-booked, and the taxi is SHA Plus certified, you should be OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stat Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thanks for all the helpfull posts! Can someone recommend an SHA+ taxi for Phuket to Krabi? I fear I pay upfront and either dont get the receipt in time or the transportation. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the offcial site you mentioned I find only 4 SHA+ taxis whereare on the internet I found several more like this one for example: https://krabishuttle.com/ Are there any requirements for the prepaid receipt so that I can board the plane?

stat Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Apparently there has been a change in the requirements and the hotel booking MUST include the SHA+transport on the hotel booking confirmation.

stat Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I am at a loss here. My Thai pass was approved without the "mandatory" SHA+ transport included in the confirmation. Where will the transport confirmation be checked? By the airline, at Thai immigration, at all? Thanks! Edited January 17, 2022 by stat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I do not think anyone will check until your arrival in Thailand. If you do not have such a reservation (included in the hotel reservation or not) the authorities at the airport are not going to be happy. At a minimum, you can expect to be detained for a while at the airport, and then likely transferred to your hotel at exorbitant cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that they assumed your transport was included in your hotel reservation. The transport from the airport is not included on the list of documents for the sandboxes on the Thailand Pass site. You should still try to arrange your transport before arriving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hotel is not answering on several channels at all. Anyone ever booked a transfer with another hotel then the hotel he stayes with? I guess that should be OK but I am not sure?
