I have to rush to Thailand in next couple of days.

Anyone know best way to book SHA+ Extra room online. All the hotels i contacted want a bank transfer, unfortunately time and my current remote location doesnt allow for me to do this.

I tried agoda and booking.com but they seem to be only the rooms in SHA+ hotels.
Answer summary
The user seeks advice on booking an SHA+ Extra room online shortly before traveling to Thailand, facing challenges with bank transfer requirements from hotels. Multiple community members suggest various methods, including using Agoda with specific links for SHA Extra Plus packages, contacting hotels directly, and utilizing credit cards. Suggestions include contacting hotels like Centre Point and Grande Centre Point for direct bookings to facilitate swift payment and confirmation. Additionally, users discuss insurance options related to the Thailand Pass and express concerns over the processing times and the cancellation policies of different bookings.

🤣 There’s no “rushing to Thailand,”anymore! Thai pass system is so messed up it could take you weeks or over a month to get it sorted.

I tried to book direct with a hotel paying with mastercard. The hotel was unable to process my card because of the fraud protection. I ended up booking through agoda.

In the past I have made reservations through Agoda and Orbitz and the hotel is notified of the reservation within minutes.

I was under the impression Thaipass required noncancellable reservations. I think they may verify.. but I am not 100% sure.

I guess I never tried to get my money back from Orbitz, Agoda, or any hotel. Maybe that is possible

I have tried to get my money back from the airlines. I think that is next to impossible.

And if booking directly with the hotel what about Free Cancelation option. I want that option with this unpredictable Covid situation

Using Agoda im having trouble finding a Day 5 booking. I saw it before on there and now it only shows Day 1

What if you need free cancelation? Because with this Covid situation I want that option.

I used Holiday Inn Silom. Sent booking and all required documents by email. They confirmed booking same day. I applied for Thailand Pass that evening and it was approved next day - so I reckon about 36hrs in total.

That is a bad one. It is cheap. But it will not cover anything unless you are really ill from Covid.

@Dimitri *******
I have it and I didn't have problems. Never had covid though. None of the insurances want to pay so don't say this one is bad. They are all trying to not pay even if is covid

@Miri ****
I heard numerous stories here on Facebook that insurance did pay. Tune even pays directly to the hospital. With your insurance you can be 100% sure that you will have to pay for everything yourself.

cover symptomatic hospitalizations. People that don't have symptoms don't need to go hospital
Dimitri ********

@Miri ****
Tell that to the Thai. You will pay for hospital hospitel or something else + medical costs. Your insurance can get very expensive that way.

if you are in a rush this is the best insurance to get. As soon as you pay you can download the visa letter for thai pass on the portal

Find the list of SHA extra plus and email the hotel. They will send you a link for credit card payment.

There's a special Agoda link that will get you to the SHA Extra Plus packages.

Google Agoda test&go and you'll find an article that should show it you.

The problem is that even if you book on Agoda you'll need to get in contact with the hotel to get the booking confirmation from them. I'd just look for some higher class hotels you find on Agoda and contact them directly or even call them for fastest service.

I booked with Grande Centre Point Terminal 21 and they sent me links to pay by credit card, though for some reason I couldn't get visa to work on either one and had to use Mastercard.

**********************************************************************************************


The biggest delay right now is that after you're booked your hotel has to login to the new hotel confirmation system and enter your information there so that Thailand Pass knows the booking you submit is authentic.
