It was posted in a different forum That everything is good with Thaii elite visa, because of all the negative publicity they will now be approving COEs. However, this doesn’t change the basic Problem: the bottleneck that existed before, the limited number of hotel rooms limiting daily foreigners to approximately 300, still exists. And remember, that 300 includes Chinese Who are very hungry to get in, not just the people who are reading this. 
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the status of the Thai Elite Visa amidst the ongoing limitations on hotel accommodations for incoming foreigners. While there is positive news regarding the approval of Certificates of Entry (COEs), a significant concern remains about the bottleneck caused by the limited number of available hotel rooms, which restricts the daily number of foreign arrivals to around 300. This figure is compounded by the presence of numerous Chinese travelers eager to enter Thailand.

I found it so hard to believe I actually had to go to the embassy site to read it. Yes they expect you to have 3, million baht in a Thai bank account. This is such a nonstarter, why does the Thai government waste their time. Can’t these people find a sex partner instead of sitting around and doing this apparent masturbatory exercise on a weekly basis?

Check the RTE in your country. London Embassy has added it to list of those allowed in. You can get a 3-month Non-B Visa but also need 3 million baht in a Thai bank.

There are now 88 ASQ hotels in Bangkok and thousands of rooms.

I’ve asked this week quotes to several ASQ hotels in BKK. All hotels I asked are available for late October and November. Moreover they keep sending me follow up emails to ask me when I will make my decision. Looks like a buyer market

That sounds good. One less problem to worry about.

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but for example, Anatara says it has 145 rooms available from October 5 forward. I am going to assume, may be wrong, but 145 rooms is his total capacity, which would be a respectable number. And I am almost positive several if not many of those rooms are filled. So I interpret this as being a little deceptive. For myself, I found this the best tact to take when dealing with information coming from the Thai government or any official body in that country. But of course, everyone is free to their own interpretation

The last lists I posted were the AVAILABLE rooms for those dates not the total rooms.

ASQ are pretty good at updating info in their group on here. As of 5 days ago, the following rooms were available:

I guess so??? There are plenty of ASQ rooms now. Is there a specific limit on Elite?

RTEs are issuing CofE to Elite holders so they should be able to book the same rooms as anyone else??

I don’t think anybody outside of the upper echelons of power can answer that, and because the waters are churning so much The counsel I am taking is to wait until I see more clarity And maybe what’s more important, consistency, not a policy that pops up and then disappears every week. Last I Read in the newspaper the S TV policy is now on hold

I’ve not heard of anyone recently being unable to find a room for their dates - though it can take some ‘phoning around’. It’s improved a lot over recent months.

I’ve seen a number of posts where people say they can’t find a room until December. Maybe they’re looking to lowball the rate. I don’t know. I would say everybody agrees there’s no shortage of people trying to get in

correct when i came in I stayed at anantara siam and spoke to the guy about room data and 20 % of rooms were Thai Nationals

do not believe what you read on here, there are many trolls that have nothing else to do but spread false info and rumors. As for the Chinese filling up the rooms it is BS as they must undergo the same process as everyone else. There are however more Thais taking ASQ rooms than before.

I don’t know what you mean by thousands that’s a pretty nebulous number. But let’s say 5000.÷ 80 which would come out to about 55 rooms dedicated to quarantine per hotel. We don’t know if these hotels are dedicating their entire hotel to quarantine or not. So let’s say you have 5000 rooms, and they’re turning over twice a month, Actually slightly less cause you’re staying for 15 nights, so that comes to 333 people a day you’re processing through. If you want to really question the math, please be specific. I’m always eager to learn something new.
