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 🍀🙏🏼 (Valid for 46 countries)
Answer summary

@Sebastian ******
hotels official policy should cover that, the goverment dont tell them what to do.They have to offer credit or refund.
Sebastian *******
OP@Michael *******
do you have a official confirmation by Thai government about that. My hotel doe not know 🤷🏼♂️Michael ********
@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
Michael ********
Yes they were same when it went from 3 swabs to 2.
