Are SHA+ hotels still compatible with the Thailand Pass regulations after November 1st?
I have booked a SHA+ hotel for 7 nights in december in Phuket. Are SHA+ hotels compatible with the Thailand Pass after 1. november, or can SHA+ hotel bookings only be used with COE after 1. november, or will SHA+ be phased out after 1. november so we need to cancel our SHA+ Bookings and book the 1 night AQ package instead?
Answer summary
The discussion centers around the compatibility of SHA+ hotel bookings with the Thailand Pass after November 1st. While SHA+ hotels are valid for the one-night package option, there is uncertainty regarding COVID-19 test inclusions and the transition from COE to Thailand Pass, with the latter expected to streamline entry processes. Users suggest verifying directly with hotels for the most accurate information.

Covid tests in Phuket thus far have been booked on a seperate site not with your hotel booking.

I suggest you email your hotel they will give you the correct answer to you problem

OPGood idea. Will try that, thanks
Bruce *****
You will probably find you cannot cancel the hotel so just go ahead as what you’ve booked exceeds the new requirements
Mikael *********
OPThe problem is that the SHA+ booking doesnt include covid tests afaik

@Mikael ********
its never has included covid tests for SHA booking that was booked through a seperate siteԱդամ ********
I’m worried Thailand Pass won’t be any easier but it is possible. The app Germany uses takes a few minutes for approval, probably automated!

yes worded that wrong it did at beginning of sandboxԱդամ ********
@Michael *******
It did in the very beginning of Sandbox. I had to prepay the testing through the hotel. Then upload receipt again even after I had paid 14 nights, another inefficiency. Somehow I was allowed to come to Phuket without prepaying for SHA+ approved airport to hotel transport!Frédéric ******************
Bear in mind that Thailand Pass will replace COE for all programmes (no-quarantine, sandbox and quarantine).
COE will cease to exist except for a couple of special cases (ie medical tourism).

OPOk, then I’m wondering what will happen to SHA+ bookings with thailand pass, because the SHA+ booking afaik doesnt include covid tests
Frédéric ******************
@Mikael ********
the new 1 day package is called "test & go" so I'm sure SHA+ will include the test in their price.Frédéric ******************
SHA+ hotels are valid for 1 night package.
Mikael *********
OPReally? I though 1 night package will always include covid test and test kit. These are not included in my SHA+ booking afaik
Frédéric ******************
@Mikael ********
they will include it when they change your package for the new one. I don't see any problem there.
Colin ********
