There are different kind of tests on arrival. At a hospital on the way to the hotel, in the hotel room, in the hotel’s nurse room, in the hotel’s garage or at the parking garage of another place (including airport). There are also different kind of transportation. Private limousine, mini bus with other guests (which you don‘t know). And the time you have to wait for the test result varies from 1 hour to more than 24 hours.

Some good hotels are focused on the freedom of their guests (as soon as possible), i.e. the Grand Hyatt. Other good hotels are more focused on the comfort of their guests, while they are waiting for the test result (and not on getting the test result very fast), i.e. Waldorf Astoria. Other hotels are not very good at both, i.e. Conrad.

Anyway, we are talking about a process, we hopefully won‘t be faced with for more than 4 weeks and then never again. For May and June Ive booked the WA and for my stays in Q3/Q4 I‘ve booked Conrad again. I didn‘t like the test&go procedure at both hotels, but without test&go they are a good choice from my point of view.

So if you are traveling to Thailand in May or later, it‘s very likely, that you don‘t have to do the previous test&go procedure anymore. There will be an ATK test the airport (that means, that you will need a bit more time at the airport compared to now) and after that you will be free to go. And after June (maybe after May), there won‘t be any test at all any more.
