20 SHA Plus Hotel You Should Spend the Night in Bangkok

In the post-pandemic period following Thailand’s opening, those living in and visiting the country must have heard of or noticed SHA or SHA Plus signs while searching for hotels and other accommodation facilities.

In case you too are wondering what they are, we have the answer here.

AIRPORTELs

Background of the SHA

The Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) is the hygiene safety standard that fosters trust among service users and tourists, both Thais and foreigners. The project is operated by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health and tourism-related government and private agencies, aiming to encourage the tourism industry to prepare and improve the quality of their services in accordance with the New Normal and raise the standards in conjunction with COVID-19 sanitation measures.

TAT logo
Tourism Authority of Thailand logo

As a result of that, SHA is now used as a badge to indicate that the business operators, especially the hotels, have transformed their products and services, including hygiene, which is an important factor in preventing the spread of COVID-19, with public health measures at the forefront. The SHA logo will then be provided free of charge to a variety of hotel and resort establishments who apply after they pass all requirements.

SHA logo

What are SHA and SHA Plus hotels (SHA+)?

There are currently two types of hygiene safety standards for hotels and accommodations in Thailand which are SHA and SHA Plus.

The TAT grants SHA certification to hotels that adhere to the Department of Disease Control’s requirements, which include having regular cleaning to pandemic-level standards; providing sanitizers and thermometers in the establishments; deploying seating arrangements and proper signage; and complying with basic protective measures for staff.

Meanwhile, SHA Plus is obviously a stricter version of SHA, with more rigorous standards. Hotels that carry the SHA Plus certificate must meet the SHA criteria plus 70% of their staff must have been fully vaccinated (at least two doses); no unvaccinated employees are allowed to have close contact with guests; and all members have been trained with COVID-19 emergency solutions.

As of today, despite the fact that all COVID-19-related regulations in Thailand have been lifted since October 1, 2022, staying in a hotel with a high level of protection is still popular among tourists and is always a good idea. As a result, we’ve selected ten of Bangkok’s best SHA+ hotels for you to consider before booking your next trip to the City of Angels.

5 Tips to help you navigate Bangkok taxis better

Taxis in Bangkok are bright and colorful; blue, green, yellow, orange, pink… the list goes on. The color of a taxi doesn’t have any impact on prices. They all offer the same service.

The color is only to indicate which company they are from. Since taxis are one of the most common ways travelers choose to get around when they visit Thailand, AIRPORTELs would like to share with you some tips to avoid taxi scams in Bangkok.

Bright and colorful taxi in Bangkok, Thailand

There are plenty of good taxi drivers in Bangkok. However, there is no guarantee that you will find one. Even though it clearly states that they are Taxi Meters, some drivers rarely offer this option, especially when you are a tourist. Here are 5 top tips to help you navigate Bangkok taxis better:

AIRPORTELs

1. Make Sure the Meter Is On

taxis,bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand taxi meter

According to Thai laws, the taxi fee is based on the meter counted. It starts at 35 THB and should go up in increments based on distance traveled and time elapsed. However, when it comes to tourists, some drivers offer a fixed price instead.

Sometimes the driver will let you get into the cab first before demanding a fixed price, which can be a real pain especially if your luggage is already in the trunk. Therefore, before getting in a cab, you should ask them to make sure they will provide you with a meter-based ride.

If a particular driver refuses you, don’t worry. There are a lot of taxis in Bangkok. Just wait for the next one to come along.

2. Taxi ID Number

Credit: Carro Blog, The taxi license number

When you use a taxi, inside the cab you will see there are some little stickers on each door. It’s good practice to take a photo or make a note of the sticker which indicates the license number.

AIRPORTELs

In case anything happens, you can report it to the Department of Land Transport hotline number 1584.

3. Know the Spot You’re Heading To

Taxi, bus, and other cars on Bangkok road

You need to check on the taxi driver whether they’re going to drop you at the right place or not. Opening or checking on Google Maps might help you identify and recognize by looking at different buildings that the taxi is passing. Just in case the taxi driver is trying to use the longer way to arrive at the destination so that you might need to pay extra.

4. Prepare Your Fee

Thai Currency

Once you’re going to arrive at the destination, you have to check on the meter and prepare the right amount of money to pay for the taxi driver. You can also give them tips too, but make sure that it is because of your satisfaction with their services.

5. Booking through Grab Application

The Grab application offers ride-hailing and ride-sharing services

Some drivers are registered with booking applications like Grab. You can download these applications on both IOS and Android systems. There is information about the driver provided. It also provides a range of fees which show you how much it will cost. Plus, there are passenger promotions including a discount for first-time use.

AIRPORTELs

Many travelers like using the taxi as their best way to travel in Bangkok City, but they might not notice that some drivers might charge you an extra fee or try to extend the traffic way so that they can gain more money. Be careful and have a good trip visiting Bangkok City!
