I don't think any international policies will cover it, they only cover hospitalization [which being placed in a hospitel is equivalent to] in cases of medical necessity, and asymptomatic and mild Covid doesn't necessitate hospitalization in medical terms. I believe the Luma policy states that they'll pay if a doctor certifies that it is medically necessary because you're at high risk to progress to severe illness due to underlying health issues, and they 'force' you into the hospitel/hospital, but only under those circumstances...but isn't relevant to a lot of people. Essentially anyone entering Thailand is taking that risk that they'll have to pay a hotel for quarantine out of their own pocket, if they test positive and aren't feeling too bad.

Yes, changed just a few weeks ago.

Interesting. My hotel also told me they confirmed by reservation with the Thai Pass people the day I registered, but it's been 4 days now and I haven't heard anything. I guess I'll wait a few more days and call my hotel again if nothing happens. Did you reapply already?

@John *******

The day 5 PCR test was changed to a rapid antigen test.

@Wayne ********

Yep, would turn into a very long and expensive layover!

You need a continuous booking where your bags are checked all the way through to your destination. If you have to collect your bags you would need to enter the country, which means you would have to obtain a Thai Pass and Thai visa [or use a visa exemption] and undergo the 1 night Test and Go in a hotel, getting out when your test comes back negative. Then you could go back to the airport and leave again.

Yes, it's fake, ignore it. Richard Barrow reported on it some weeks ago, luckily, because I applied yesterday and got this fake email today. It's the wrong email address from the sender...

I believe Trunk can get guarantee to get it done asap. I've heard many, many good things about them. Not allowed to share the link here but look for Trunk Travel. Take care.

@Mike *******

Do you mean this? It's a consortium of private insurers that was formed at the request of the govt. I used it in Nov 2020. It still looks like it's active.

@Stuart ********

Maybe this one? Yes, it's composed of private insurers, but it was organized at the government's direction. I used it to enter in Nov 2020
