Can one book directly at the hotel or do I need to book through the OTA mentioned on the Thailand Pass site? If at the hotel, any hoops to jump thru to get the correct package? I'd be happy to stay the weekend at the JW, but don't care to pay the price the OTA charges for the package.
I will also need to do a PCR test in BKK for going to KUL - any tips where to go along Sukhumvit for same day result? (I will stay at the Sheraton Grand)
One more thing - on the way back, I'll have an 11 hour layover in BKK. I'd prefer to go to the Novotel airport hotel instead of staying airside - is that an option? Even if I don't get the results on time?
