TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around concerns regarding the use of Booking.com for obtaining the Thai Pass, with multiple comments suggesting that travelers should avoid this site due to reported issues. Participants recommend booking directly with hotels or using Agoda, noting successful experiences when directly contacting hotels for confirmation documents, while cautioning against using Booking.com due to its non-compliance with government guidelines.

I used Agoda, no problems at all. Some mentioned that you should refrain from using booking.com because they don't go along properly with government Sandbox guidelines.

Mine was via booking, I just sent the hotel a message via the system and they sent me a link to the confirmation doc to use for the Thai pass, no issues at all

Pain for you. Best bet now to e mail hotel for confirmation and re-submit just in case. Does seem silly when they accept Agoda. Think the hotel like to have the money with them before they issue confirmation. Good luck

Always contact the hotel directly. As well as airline tickets. The odds of them giving you a refunded are much better that way.
