It seems from my early research, that to do the 1 night Test & Go deal in Phuket, you will need to pre-book the PCR test at the airport yourself, then when applying for your Thailand Pass you will need to add the PCR test receipt onto the same page as your Hotel booking receipt, making sure that the file is a .jpg file and no bigger than 2mb.   Easy huh!   NOT !!!

I'm glad that i found this thread. I was already asking about this in another thread.

@ThairdOfBS do you think it's possible to book one night in a sha+ hotel with the booked pcr test at phuket airport?

@OzMatt could you share some more information's about booking price etc.?

I booked an SHA+ hotel and booked and paid2400thb for a PCR test at the airport, and attached the combined JPEG receipt. My request was rejected because I hadn't booked a @Test and Go" package. 
i booked the test on the pcsc site. Starting to feel Ive been scammed here. Any suggestions?

This sounds bad. Did you got a confirmation document from the hotel include sha+ transfer from airport?

No,

Every hotel I have contacted (several all SHA+) have said that I myst book my own PCR on arrival at the PCDC (Phuket City Development Co) which I have duly done and merged the receipt with my SHA+ booking receipt and submitted that for my Thailand Pass application. Ive also booked a SHA+ taxi from Phuket Airport to the SHA+ hotel. Nowhere in the advice does it say that I need to book a "Test and Go" package and furthermore although there are lots in BKK none in Phuket that offer the whole package.....

I dumped Phuket as a planned 5 day break (after my 1 night quarantine) due to the fact that there is NO apparent "Test and Go" Hotels.

There is a lot of "baiting" going on but it seems to me that the powers that be are really not that keen to allow 1 night visitors into Phuket when the (7 night) Sandbox is still running.

I'm now booked into Bangkok for my (easy to find) Test and Go 1 night quarantine and after that I'll fly down to Krabi (at Phukets loss)

I've put up with enough BS just to get back here, so I'm not prepared anymore to be anybody's stooge

      News Forum - Thai healthcare tycoon Boon Vanasin flees as fraud charges mount

      The sooner the 'elephant in the room' is addressed in Thailand - the better off the Thai People will become in the long run. During Mao's takeover of China in 1940s/50s there was an exodus of Chinese people. Most people think they all went to Taiwan - WRONG. Taiwan was where those fighting against Communism and those who wanted Democracy went - and the CCP allowed them to go (rather than fight non stop wars and try to kill them all). However - a large number of Chinese went to Thailand. The criminals and corrupt who also needed to flee Communism, were not welcome in Taiwan - so they went to Thailand. They are now often called 'Thainese' - and they are a very large part of the corrupt wealthy who now dominate Thailand. They are everywhere in the politics, military, courts and industry of Thailand - the majority of rich wealthy Thainese are the descendants of those Chinese who came here after WW2 - they are more Chinese than Thai. This corrupt ahole who has fled back to China rather than face jail here in Thailand is exactly what they are - they are Chinese at heart. Until the Thai people do something about them, they will remain in power and control and not look after the best interests of the Thai people. I am not referring to those Thais in the long line of monarchy here - I am referring to those who are really Chinese - and there is a LOT of them in Thailand. The Monarchy here is not a problem (overall) - it is those who are not really Thai that are the problem. They are not in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam or Myanmar - nor are they in Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia or Indonesia. They chose Thailand for obvious reasons - the main one being that they were allowed to grow and thrive here after making donations and payments. The others kept them out by refusing to offer them 'sanctuary' - and if they had tried to go to Japan or Korea they would have been slaughtered.
