If I have to be imprisoned for a night on arrival I hope it will be in a Pattaya hotel.
Will we be informed via the app whether we have "passed" the test? I wonder how long it will take.

I rely mostly on Richard Barrow for information about entry conditions to Thailand.For vaccinated people arriving from the 46 countries on the list, you must book a SHA+ hotel for the first night within a two hour drive from the international airport. For example, if you land at Suvarnbhumi, you can go straight to Pattaya, but for Hua Hin, you must stay in Bangkok first for one night.
So far, a flight out of Thailand has not been quoted as a requirement. I like to stay flexible regarding my length of stay in Thailand and my next destination.
No information about prices for one night in hotel and covid test.
The problem is that the Airline will not let you fly to Thailand without a confirmed flight out of the country. This doesn't have to be a special requirement. They will just look at your status, visa, country of origin.
A few ways to get around this legally:
*Buy the cheapest air Asia ticket you can find. I've done this in the past and found deals of 15 to 20 Euros.
*You can also buy a ticket (to anywhere) with an American travel agent such as Expedia and cancel it within 24 hours for a full refund.
*For some purposes, you can also make a reservation with Turkish Airlines without any upfront payment.

I do wonder if they might be slightly more careful in current times, as we might not actually be allowed to take that cheap Air Asia flight to Cambodia (etc) due to covid restrictions.
Of course, IF Christian's Cambodia visa is multi-entry, that is not a problem.
I don't recall anyone ever checking I have a flight out of Thailand.
I've had it when flying from Cebu to KL, but never to Thailand. Including the following day when I flew from KL to Utapao, with the same airline.
Deals starting to appear for 1 day quarantine in Pattaya. See here ..
