Can we pay extra to leave the hotel early after a negative test result?
If we pay additional 2000 can we go out of the hotel after 3 hours of check in (if the report is negative)?
Answer summary
If you pay an additional fee for a rapid testing turnaround, you can leave the hotel once you receive a negative result. It is important to verify with your hotel regarding their policies, as some may not allow you to return if you check out.

I was in Phuket and it took 5 hrs for results and friends coming into Pattaya’s hotels the results are taking up to 25 hrs. If you do a test before 6 pm it’s quicker

Once you get your negative result, you can leave. Just beware that many hotels will check you out and not let you return if you leave. You will need a different hotel for that night. Ask your hotel their individual policy.

Not untill you get your test result.

Seems so...you are paying for a rapid turnaround. As soon as you get the result you can leave (if negative)

As soon as you have negative result you can leave, so if they are offering a 3 hour service at extra cost yes.
