@Martin *******

the tests you’re referring to such as the ones you get at CVS are fine

@James *******

the test he’s referring to is a RT-PCR test. I have had them done a few times at CVS.

@James *******

I think you’re confused

@James *******

yes. I know. I looked into the this and covered it in detail in another comment in this post.

@James *******

what? Two days is 48 hours.

What on earth are you trying to say?

@James *******

I covered this in detail in another comment if anyone is interested to know

They have not announced use of rapid antigen testing and likely will not. So you’ll still need a hotel.

I shopped around for insurance and ultimately decided on AXA Thailand as it’s very well known and accepted by Thai Pass and has what looks like pretty decent coverage generally over and above just COVID.

If you go to the Thailand Pass site and go through the process to the point where you’d indicate the hotel you’ll be staying at, you will see they have a list of hotels that they recognize. I cross referenced my picks against this list to make sure. Not sure it matters ultimately but I bet it can’t hurt.

I contacted hotels via FB Messenger and email but mostly on Line which is a very popular messaging app in Thailand.

This is what I asked and it’s what I would suggest you ask;

Hello,

I need a QUOTE for a single night quarantine for ___ people.

Please provide a price that includes;

X people

- Room (24hr)

- RT-PCR tests for each of us

- Meals for each of us

- Rapid antigen test to take with us when we leave

@Steve *******

well, maybe you’ll get lucky and happen on a consular rep who happens to the the one person in D.C. who doesn’t think it’s his/her personal duty to save the world from people like us

@Steve *******

oh man… you’re right in the thick of it there.

They’ll probably deny you just for being so careless as to put American lives at risk traveling about the world.

How could you?

@Steve *******

I think it depends on a lot of factors but the primary one is probably what consulate is processing it and how busy they are.

Mine was processed in Vancouver. I would say that most Canadian, would be travelers, are stupid lefty #MSM watching, obedient and mindless drones too afraid to even leave their living room let alone fly to a dangerous foreign country in Asia.
