Is an SHA Plus + hotel the same as SHA Extra + hotel?

Answer summary

An SHA Plus + hotel meets specific COVID-19 safety guidelines and ensures at least 70% of its staff is vaccinated. In contrast, a SHA Extra + hotel not only meets these criteria but also includes additional services such as transportation from the airport and a COVID-19 test with the room booking.

SHA+ means the hotel has met certain Covid guidelines and at least 70% of the staff is vaccinated.

SHA Extra+ means they are an SHA+ Hotel and a room you book includes transportation from the airport and Covid test.

I booked SHA+ hotel and paid for PCR test at Phuket. Applied for Thai pass earlier and added the receipt for the PCR under additional uploads. I received my Thai pass & QR code 15mins later!!

so how do people get to a SHA+ hotel after arriving at the airport?

If I’d be arriving for test and go and need a one day, is there any good pros and cons to either?

easiest is to arrange transportation with your hotel, but you can also arrange yourself or the airport will have SHA+ Taxis you can take

yes that was me. They created it because people weren't buying packages for Bangkok where you are required to have a package including those things and it was causing lots of problems. But Phuket never had packages so I don't know exactly how Phuket works now

can a person save enough money booking a SHA+ over Extra+ to be worth doing?

Say in my case where there is three of us. Myself, partner and son?

Brandon Thurkettle. Is it possible to book SHA+ hotel for 1 night, then book the PCR test at Phuket

airport, or does it have to be an Extra hotel? I want to stay close to the airport as travelling to Krabi the following day, but I’m struggling to find Extra hotels on booking sites

Phuket uses a different system with the psas website to book your own test and not included with the hotel. I don't know why they have different systems especially when the Thailand Pass website says you have to have it included with your hotel.
