it’s very confusing. Apparently Sha++ is the new type of hotel you need to book if you haven’t got your Thai pass yet. I don’t know why they named it something so similar.
depending on how long you going for I wouldn’t bother with a visa. At the moment you can go 30 day visa exemption then get 30 day extension and then do the 60 day covid extension but the 60 day covid extension might be stopped after January no way of knowing. Good luck pal watch for the agency scams lots going round these days
honestly the process isn’t too bad. I got my thailand pass a few hours after submitting the documents. I’d say the most annoying part is booking the sha hotel and getting the confirmation letter from them but honestly not too bad
