I am bored and diving in!

Congratulations and all the best for your trip! I might go in December.

Somewhere else it was mentioned that hotels on Agoda offer SHA packages. That would eliminate having to deal with the hotel (problems as in OP) but would that be accepted for Thailand Pass?

I've seen that too, but no idea how to book it on Agoda. When I tried, I got quoted a normal room rate and not a package. I know that there are other hotels with much easier processes directly via their website, but I really wanted this specific hotel.

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.

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!

Which do you think is better, dealing directly with a hotel, or going thru Agoda or other booking sites???

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

Curiously the hotel quotes in Bangkok and Pattaya include vaccination and transport, but those in Phuket do not.

I think you meant to say..."tests and transport", not "vaccinations".

Indeed!

But with hotel prices like this, it stays the same from a costs perspective.
