ORIGINAL POSTERHello all,
I go in April to Thailand. First quarantine in BKK and then fly to Udon to meet my girlfriend. For day 5 testing I will book SHA+ hotel in Udon, but I was wondering if it's allowed that my gf stays with me then? As we already be together then for 4 days.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the possibility of having his girlfriend stay with him at a SHA+ hotel in Udon after his day 5 COVID-19 test. Responses highlight uncertainty regarding future regulations, suggest checking with the hotel, and warn about risks if a positive test occurs.

Just stick it to the rules, already in Thailand, a day or two surely can wait 🙄 And April even though just 2 months away, is considered way too ahead, simply because it's Amazing Thailand.

1) April is still a "long time" , nobody knows what the rules will be by then.
2) If I were in your case, I wouldn't risk to have gf come stay together on that 5th day. Because if you would test positive, she could be in trouble because she was in high risk close contact.
If you test positive and she doesn't stay with you that day, she can just do some ATK self testing and self isolate if necessary instead of risking being held hostage by the hotel/ hospital and paying too much for whatever forced quarantaine and unnecessary medicines.

You dont need SHA+ in udon when I arrived i tested in bkk once negative result came back i was free to leave .then on day 5 I went to test in prachinburi

@Peter *********
bad advice. You most likely booked TP under old test n go arrangement. No hotel needed for day 5 then. New arrangements you need hotel for day 5 - too many idiots who didnt show up for their free day 5 test.Michael ********
@Peter *********
when was that remember rules changed on Feb 1st your information maybe outdatedPeter **********
Sorry i came in on 28th Dec sha+ in bkk then when got test result was given a pink slip and told to arrange 2nd test myself on day 5
My friend came in with me and when we left he went to Nakhon Panum and when he went for his test there on day 5 they told him to isolate for 3 days then take another test.both them were negative

When i did sandbox wife was not allowed to stay with me until after 1st test results but subsequent tests she was. This is new so personally think you need to check with hotel what the goverment guidelines are.Reply to

okay, so just can book test in BKK hospital in Udon? But wondering why then hotels are offering day 5 package incl pcr?Brian ********
@Michael ***************
All new TEST & GO applications must submit A proof of prepayment for 2 separate nights of accommodation at government-approved hotel/s, such as, SHA Extra Plus (SHA++), AQ, OQ, or AHQ on Day 1 and Day 5, and the expenses for 2 RT-PCR tests on Day 1 and Day 5. The prepayment for Day 1 must include an accommodation, a test and a prearranged transfer from the airport to the hotel.Travellers can book 2 different hotels for the accommodation on Day 1 and Day 5. However, on both Day 1 and Day 5, they must stay within the room for the RT-PCR test result.
