SHA Extra+ Hotel Phuket Thailand Pass PCR Test ATK Test Hotel Booking Travel Tips

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey guys,

where would you recommend booking the SHA extra+ Hotel for the 1st night in Phuket. If I try this through Agoda, I do not find anything including the PCR & ATK test. If I book the PCR test seperately and book the hotel through Agoda, I am scared that my Thailand pass will get rejected, as there is no confirmation for the ATK test. Does my concern make any sense?

Appreciate any suggestion. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When booking a SHA Extra+ hotel for the first night in Phuket, it's advisable to book directly through the hotel instead of using platforms like Agoda. In Phuket, PCR and ATK tests are typically done at the airport and may not be included in hotel packages as they can be in Bangkok. It's important to ensure that the hotel can provide the necessary testing confirmation for Thailand Pass approval to avoid issues during arrival.

I had several issues doing Phuket sandbox (not the same thing). Two things I would have done differently. Booked direct through the hotel (not Agoda or other), used a hotel that others have used with positive experiences.

My hotel's website would accept my credit card because it was not capable of handling fraud protection. I have stayed at that hotel several times, but this is the first time I used them for SHA+. They advertised they are capable but when it came time to do it, they seemed clueless.

Phuket and Bangkok operate differently. In Bangkok your test (and transport) is part of the hotel package.

In Phuket it’s not. The test is done at the airport. The transport you can arrange yourself, but you’re probably best to get the hotel to organise.

For Phuket airport tests, book and pay here.

Can I buy COVID-19 tests on my own for entry into Thailand instead of through the hotel?
