ORIGINAL POSTER

Help please, I have booked the SHA+ hotel via Booking.com but it didn’t give me the option for adding a PCR test. Do I need to book a separate PCR test for arrival at Phuket airport? If could someone please point me in the right direction?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the necessity of booking a separate PCR test upon arrival at Phuket airport after reserving a SHA+ hotel via Booking.com, which did not allow for adding a PCR test. Responses include advice to book the test through the suggested website, confirmation doubts regarding Sandbox packages via Booking.com, and the possibility of canceling the current booking to rebook directly with the hotel for bundled services that include a PCR test.

Booking.com or Agoda can't give you Test and Go or Sandbox package.

For that you have to booked from direct website of SHA++ hotel.

If your booking at booking.com is flexible to cancel it without charges i recommend to cancel it and to contact direct to the hotel to make you an offer fo 1night stay including PCR test and transfer.

Otherwise if your booking is non-refunable contact through booking.com messages with the hotel and request to prepare you an offer for the PCR test and the transfer that you pay it to be confirmed after to the Thailad pass.

Ask the invoice to iclude the 1night stay plus PCR test and transfer prepaid
