For Sandbox arrivals who have their second PCR test after 1.11. will get refunded by PSAS PKCD, at least they confirmed me via mail so ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ (Valid for 46 countries)
Answer summary
Travelers arriving in Thailand's Sandbox program after November 1st may be eligible for a refund of their second PCR test fee, as confirmed by PSAS PKCD for at least 46 countries. However, specific details on requesting refunds and cancellation policies can vary by hotel, leading to confusion among travelers regarding their eligibility and processes.

I donโ€™t understand you now. We arrived on 30th October, they both say the old rules apply. I requested the refund but didnโ€™t get it yet and my hotel says itโ€™s needed so they can get the release paper for us

They are hiccups when it changes at least your here

@Sebastian ******
hotels official policy should cover that, the goverment dont tell them what to do.

They have to offer credit or refund.

@Bruce ****
they did refunds no problem with sandbox when it went from 3 swab tests to 2.

It was hotels that were wanting to give credit instead of refunds, but the pre paid swab tests refunded. So i guess your answer is just wrong

Yes they were same when it went from 3 swabs to 2.
