What are the requirements for Covid health insurance and hotel booking for travelers to Thailand in January?

I used AXA insurance they send you a certificate stating covid cover and stayed at bestbella Pattaya in Pattaya. They do everything for you but you don't have to stay there for one night you only have to stay in room until test comes back , mine took about 6hrs . The hospital ring your room and you can go if you want

anyone got expirience with VUMI insurance? they seem to have good coverage for 2,200bht per month

They have not announced use of rapid antigen testing and likely will not. So you’ll still need a hotel.

I shopped around for insurance and ultimately decided on AXA Thailand as it’s very well known and accepted by Thai Pass and has what looks like pretty decent coverage generally over and above just COVID.

If you go to the Thailand Pass site and go through the process to the point where you’d indicate the hotel you’ll be staying at, you will see they have a list of hotels that they recognize. I cross referenced my picks against this list to make sure. Not sure it matters ultimately but I bet it can’t hurt.

I contacted hotels via FB Messenger and email but mostly on Line which is a very popular messaging app in Thailand.

This is what I asked and it’s what I would suggest you ask;

Hello,

I need a QUOTE for a single night quarantine for ___ people.

Please provide a price that includes;

X people

- Room (24hr)

- RT-PCR tests for each of us

- Meals for each of us

- Rapid antigen test to take with us when we leave

I used Tune insurance Thailand. 8000 baht for 3 month.

If you don't feel confident as I felt use an agency. I can reckomend SQ.in.th who give you money back if they fail to get your booking done on time for your departure. Their fee was approx 3000 baht.

Look at topic insurance this gets asked every day.

Where are you coming from, are you vaccinated this sort of information can help people answer correctly

>also read the hotel booking is no longer required because they are doing the new test that gives you results in 15 minutes and all you do is go to one of the hotels

That plan has been cancelled.
