There are AQ hotels in Bangkok offering one night quarantine packages.
My hotel told me the Agoda booking confirmation is accepted for the Thai Pass.

Good point.
I booked my 1 night quarantine directly with the hotel and carefully read the small print. It said no refunds, cancellation or amendments.
However when I got the email confirmation there is a box which you can click to change the booking date, make changes etc.
TiT!
Re: I am bored and diving in!
Does anyone know how far in advance you can apply for the TP?
I won't be travelling until late December, but would prefer to have an approved TP in hand before booking my flights.
Incidentally I am finding that the available flight inventory to Thailand around Dec 27-29 is pretty poor. Unless you are prepared to travel on KLM with their prototype B777 from 1994 or on Luftwaffe in their A340 which should also have been canned years ago

Alternatively fly with the Taliban ?
Travel pass applications can go in several weeks in advance. At least 3 weeks, probably more.

I would say that you have to go (and maybe leave the country again) within 3 months. As you can see in the screenshot of a previous post, that's how long the certificate is good for. But that is logic speaking and not the Thai authorities.

The package that you are talking about is called "test&go," and it is especially for the Thailand Pass. I would be shocked if it's not going to be accepted.
Also, I advise everyone to check the refund policy of the hotels before booking. Many give you a refund if you don't succeed in getting a Thailand Pass, but some don't.
Which do you think is better, dealing directly with a hotel, or going thru Agoda or other booking sites???

Re: I am bored and diving in!
Search for a hotel in Bangkok on your preferred date.
Select quarantine hotels in the filter drop down.
Make sure you look at quarantine offers.
Prices seem to be increased from when I booked.

Personally, I would use https://asq.in.th/bangkok-test-and-go-hotels to find a place. They have some good filters for searching. Then, you can book or try directly via the hotel's website.
You can always compare prices with Agoda or booking.com
Re: I am bored and diving in!
I looked at Agoda's Pattaya selection; there was only one available for my January dates.

I have booked my one day directly with this place in Pattaya and they still appear to have many vacancies in January.

Have you tried looking directly at hotels websites. It may be that Agoda’s allocation has been used up.
