The Regional Federal Benefits Unit covering Thailand is located at the US Embassy in Manila.

From their website: "Unless otherwise stated in the sections related to your destination or point of transit, THAI follows just the regulations put in place by the countries it operates to."

Finnair often has the cheapest extra baggage rates.

Very true, and unfortunately most websites aren't up to date :/

Very few airlines require a PCR test unless one is required by the destination or transit country (which it often is these days). The only frequently used carrier I'm aware of that insists on PCR tests for all passengers no matter what is Etihad, though I'm sure there are others out there.

A mistake by Thailand Pass would absolutely not be the airline's responsibility (just as it wouldn't be their responsibility if an immigration officer at a port of entry determined that a visa had been issued in error).

The problem is that Thailand announced with great fanfare that holders of Thailand Pass QR codes would only need the code and the PCR test result for entry, but failed to have IATA update the Timatic database to reflect that. So you now have airline personnel being told by their computer that they have to check the same documents for Thailand Pass as they did for COE, even though that isn't the policy of the Thai government at all. The issue has been pointed out again and again since TP began on November 1, and Thailand hasn't even commented, let alone done anything about it.

Immigration virtually never asks to see an onward ticket - normally only if they're suspicious of you for some other reason - but it's quite common for your airline to request it upon check-in, since it is technically a requirement when entering under a visa exemption.

Completely untrue.

And if it were a one night quarantine, the government wouldn't repeatedly and consistently refer to it as "exemption from quarantine". The official announcements have all stated pretty clearly that your obligation to remain in lockup ends the minute you get the negative result... My suspicion is that the hotel doesn't feel confident that it can differentiate between "negative testers going out for a walk" and "folks waiting for results sneaking out", so they've made up their own rule and blamed it on the government.
