I also passed through in September and experienced that holding pen. Those severe restrictions have been dropped for arrivals from most countries (including those on VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane) flights.

Ditto - I submitted a county police certificate, but they said only state or federal was acceptable.

If you have one QR code and one card for both doses, upload both of them in both places - the system seems to want to see something in the box for each dose.

Upload both. As mentioned above, TP is currently only able to read codes from the EU and Singapore, but they are allegedly working on including more countries.

SHA+ is just a hygiene and cleanliness certification - it doesn't necessarily mean that the hotel offers the Test & Go package. Take a look at the photo below showing all of the inclusions for the package. If you only book a room without that package, it won't be accepted - and that's true whether you use an OTA or the hotel's own website. The issue with the property you booked may be that they chose not to offer their Test & Go package on OTAs, which is why you didn't see it.

@Pui ****
So many people submitted five or more applications due to website problems that it's hard to know how to interpret that statistic... :/

Based on the Phuket Sandbox, even lower than that - the 0.3% infection rate there included people who tested positive on the second or third test and who might have become infected after arrival.

I don't disagree - I'm only talking about the terminology!

The term "quarantine" has been used for hundreds of years to describe the method of keeping outsiders separated from the local population until it's established that they're not infected (originally for 40 days, hence the name). You're correct that what's being done during "Test & Go" isn't exactly quarantine, since travelers are waiting for a test result rather than being monitored for symptoms, so maybe that's how Thailand justifies calling the process "exemption from quarantine".

@Christopher *******
It's standard:

"Isolation and quarantine help protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.

- "Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.

- "Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick."
