Has anyone scanned their “test and go” pass? 

Does it say “quarantine exemption”?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The 'test and go' pass indeed states 'Exemption From Quarantine' at the bottom of the PDF. This indicates that travelers who test negative upon arrival are free to move without quarantine, although they must still take an additional test on days 6-7. However, a positive test result upon arrival does not provide a quarantine exemption.

Quarantine exemption means that if you test negative upon arrival you're free to go as you please (with the new added caveat of additional test on day 6-7). It does not exempt from Quarantine if a positive test happens on arrival.

your comment misses the crucial fact that you still have to quarantine for a day. “Quarantine exempt” is a lie. Try arriving in Thailand without a quarantine package and see where it gets you…

the pcr test could be booked separately. You could arrange a grab taxi. No package needed to be bought and most importantly the issue is QUARANTINE. All I stated was that there was zero quarantine once a negative test was returned. Sorry if you had a bad experience.

incorrect. It's until the result is received (in the previous test and go scheme) as I mentioned. Yes you must pre-book one night at a hotel but in theory could leave even same day once you got your negative result. There is no package needed (again when there was test and go) just a one night reservation at any sha plus rated hotel.

so we’re just going to ignore how this hotel you had to book in advance had to be a qualified quarantine facility (AQ/SHA+) that guaranteed PCR test administration (whether they did it at the hotel or had you get it done at hospital/airport), how this package had to include private escort from the airport, how you could not leave your room until the results came back, and how, more often than not, they wouldn’t even tell you your results until the following day? Cool 👍

That's the official name of the test&go program.
