TLDR : 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.

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

I don’t understand you now. We arrived on 30th October, they both say the old rules apply. I requested the refund but didn’t get it yet and my hotel says it’s needed so they can get the release paper for us
