TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling to Thailand involves specific requirements regarding PCR testing. While the Thailand Pass website may prompt travelers about hotel booking inclusions for PCR tests, many hotels do not offer this service. Instead, travelers can opt for SHA+ Extra hotel packages in Bangkok, which cover transport and PCR tests done at the hotel either upon arrival or shortly after. For those arriving in Phuket, the PCR test is usually conducted at the airport, and travelers are advised to book their tests in advance via the PSA website. It is important to keep updated on the testing protocols, as these may vary depending on the arrival location.

Book an SHA+ hotel and the property will arrange for transport from the airport and a test on the way. It should take a few to several hours to get the result and you’re on your way. Here’s a quick read:

If flying to Phuket then you book you’re test at the psas website , you’ll get you’re PCR test at the airport plus a lateral flow self test that you do on day 6-7 and the pack has a QR code that you scan to upload you’re result to

If arriving in Bangkok look for a SHA+Extra hotel package. They include transport and the PCR test. The test is done at the hotel, either on arrival (or at a test centre en-route) or within a few hours.

If arriving in Phuket the test and transport are not part of a hotel package (but many will arrange transport for you). The test is done at the airport.

For Phuket airport tests, book and pay here.
