Hello, please I don't know if I must book the transportation from airport to hôtel of if I can go there by myself whith public transportation ?

I have seen 2 prices for the PCR test, one quick and one " normal", cheapper ; is this one quick enough to be able to leave the hôtel after one night ? Generaly, you are supposed to leave the room at 11. So what ? You wait in the lobby ?

Thanks a lot
Answer summary
The user is inquiring whether they should book airport transportation to their hotel or if public transportation is a viable option. They also want to know about the differences between PCR test options and if the results are quick enough to allow for checking out of the hotel the following day, specifically after a one-night stay. Comments suggest that if staying at a SHA+ or AQ hotel, the hotel will provide transportation. The PCR test results are typically available in about 4 to 6 hours, allowing for possible early checkout, but there may be provisions for longer stays depending on the test timing.

Test take 4-5 hours by recent reports here and also the same experience for family members to me. I would not worry unless Songkran period or unexpected events. Worst case you stay one more night in any SHA+ hotel?

If you book SHA+ hotel or AQ hotel they will pick you up and transport you to your hotel. You will do the PCR test there is at the Hospital and get the results about 6 hours later.

The 11am time will not apply in this 1nt package deal. Cost btn 4-5000 bht

Look for hotels doing it
