Hello I’ve just received this from my hotel. Am I right in thinking that the “ATK self test they give me” is to take with me as part of my package or are they meaning I will be given a ATK test to take at the hotel? 

Thanks

Answer summary

The inquiry relates to whether the ATK self-test mentioned by the hotel is for personal use or is to be conducted at the hotel. Many commenters confirm it is likely intended for personal use, while some point out that the test is not necessary for entry to bars. Additionally, it's noted that hotels must refund RT-PCR and other fees if regulations change.

Government regulations require the hotels to refund the RT-PCR test, SHA transport, and hospital fees I'm the event of a regulation change. Decline their offer, demand a refund.

Check out first to sites and look for contact details. Email them and Cc the hotel.

You may get a refund before ASQ replies. They are hoping people like you won’t chase it up.

I don’t know what to do tbh. It’s Thailand isn’t it… when it comes to money it’s take take take. I paid 6900 and now there is no test no food no pick up and no early check in. It’s 1500 for the same thing. I spoke briefly via email and they said I can now not check in at 9am which means I have to wait around for 6 hours. They have said no refund so god knows!

all the more reason to cancel. They are not allowed to do this. Part of the cost is your airport pick up. I’d cancel.

@Gregg ************

if you show them a negative RT PCR test with 72 hours of arrival then no. If not I think you need to quarantine for 5 days taking a RT PCR on day

! That’s what I’ve seen.
