    That's exactly what happened to me. They gave me an antigen test kit at the airport when I arrived but no instructions on where or how to report the results, therefore I never reported anything. Nobody said a word about it afterward. It's proof that even Thai health officials think the 5 day test is a pointless waste of time.

    I might be in the minority here but I was never asked or told either at the airport or at my hotel when checking in for my Day 1 Test and Go to upload the Morchana app. 
    Regardless throughout my trip for my own safety and the safety of others I took a few self administered ATK tests. They are readily available at 7/11 and others Family Mart for 50-100 Bhts.
    Luckily for me and for my trip companions none of them came back positive.

    So I booked with them.
    So far no problems.
    Took a while to get the Thailand pass and the rest of the documents but I got them now. 
    So am all done and just waiting for wheels up at Heathrow.

    Yes thankfully. Ibis Styles is closer to Why Not Bar and Ibis 4 is closer to Chaos 9. Like you said not far at all from each other.

    My room did have a full length mirror placed next to the desk. I didn’t mind it at all as I was able to ogle Ice (ex CIB) from all angles thanks to its placement in the room.

    When did they add a pool ? I’ve stayed ibis Soi 4 half a dozen times though not for a long while now.

    I am not sure as It was my first stay at Ibis Styles. Per a review of the hotel below it opened in 2018:
    Ibis styles Sukhumvit 4 Bangkok opened in October 2018 which makes it one of the newest hotels in Bangkok city. Hotel is part of Accor hotel’s “two-in-one hotel concept” which means that there is also another hotel in the same building (in this case Novotel Sukhumvit 4 Bangkok).
    They have a small infinity pool on the rooftop but it is decent enough to chill and catch some sun in the daytime.

    I was out during the day and come back for the evening. That's why I was not able to get to cib. Too many of them right in front. Lots. 
    Especially when you cross soi15 towards Nana there are lots in front of the Sofitel. Around 10 to 15 and in the area around 20 or so. 
    Great hotel and I hope they don't jack up the prices soon.

    I stayed here early this month. Very good location and no extra charges. Asoke on one side and Nana on the other. Cib on the opposite.

    Yeah, I have to agree.Most of the guys I know have gone with AXA as it gets them through the Thai Pass/immigration/checks process quickly with no problems.

    The link is from the ThaiEst website that also does the 1st day and fifth day  test and go hotel packages.

    I think most farangs are using AXA - that is what I used. They were listed on the Thai govt test-and-go site. The bare-bones Covid coverage to meet Thai immigration conditions for 45 days about 2200 or so baht  I also bought my usual Allianz travel insurance because I have always used them and they are easy to deal with if you have a claim for delayed flights or whatever. I know that's probably overkill with the insurance, but why take a chance when I had no experience with AXA. 
    Here is where you can buy AXA:

    There is some major pressure from the Tourism sector to get in line with world standards in terms of treating C19 as endemic and reducing some of the restrictions. To me 1 day of test-and-go and a negative PCR test seems reasonable...assuming they continue to make the Thailand Pass easier to apply/receive. Day 5 though is a major pain in the ass though, and god knows the potential (albeit low) risk of getting it for day 5 and getting into surprise quarantine for 15 days or whatever.
