Must be different types of Non-O. I'm on a Non-O volunteer (with work permit; visa originally established abroad) and have never had to show bank statements.

If the TP was approved with that, I wouldn't think you should have any issues (provided the form doesn't say anything about 7 nights stay required).

I actually applied under a 7-day CoE to the sandbox, but my CoE had an "Exemption from Quarantine" footnote and they let me do Test & Go

Look over the form closely. Do you see "Exemption from Quarantine" anywhere on the sheet? That's the actual scheme name.

My understanding is you can do Test & Go within the sandbox.

They approved your TP with 1 night stay in Phuket and 1 RT-PCR booked at the airport, right?

The airline won't care about the hotel reservation. They'll only need the TP, your passport and relevant COVID test/vaccination documents.

Probably only the consulate could you tell absolutely, but I would think not.

I came in on Test & Go (though applied under CoE) with a re-entry permit (non-O). The passport control agent basically asked if I wanted to use that or do a tourist visa (since my non-O was expiring soon). I stuck with the re-entry since I knew I'd be renewing soon, but he didn't care about what the pass was granted under.

Traveling together can use 1 room. There's no reason to keep separate as if 1 of you tests positive, my understanding is all of you go on quarantine protocol.

With "Exemption from Quarantine (aka Test & Go)", it's 1 night OR negative result. You should be free to venture out now. Sadly, it sounds like the hotel doesn't have accurate information, but maybe their own process it different with their certificate.

If you already have your Thailand Plus certificate based on the SHA+, you should be good. Phuket tests at the airport anyway, so the only thing the hotel should do is pick you up and give you an ATK test kit to take with you after leaving.

I assume you're vaccinated as you're arriving in Phuket. In that case, it appears vaccinated is sufficient.

Testing actually isn't good enough to go in there (as of the latest I've seen), you have to be vaccinated or recovered.
