Bday Prang

Hi yes I'm asymptomatic, probably the nicest virus I've ever had, strangely I was quoted 25000 baht for the quarantine hotel, but, they came for the money yesterday and only wanted 17000 (possibly because its for 7 days and not 10) That was the 3 star option I was quoted 75,000 for 5 star (no thankyou) I'm not expecting the insurance to pay for anything other than the "ambulance" transfer to the quarantine hotel, An x=ray the 10 Paracetamol pills they gave me, and two phone calls from a doctor (consultation fee) They have told me I will get an itemised bill , probably for that reason The food is basic Thai street food, normally khao tom (rice porridge) for breakfast , lunch and dinner is variations of noodle soup, pretty much what I'd normally be eating so no complaints there really Its a bit boring, which probably explains the length of this reply , but there is a tv and I got my laptop, Its not as bad as prison I can tell you that. I would recommend that you pack any "luxuries" you might want (ciggies snacks etc) as it may be difficult to get these depending on location, luckily I, near a 7-11 and the staff have been prepared to get things for me. All in all not too bad, could be a lot worse

Well , as luck would have it I tested positive on the day one PCR test, they moved me out of the test and go hotel and I am now incarcerated in a quarantine hotel for the next 7 days Today is my 5th day and my morchana App is asking for the results of the 5 day ATK test. I did an ATK yesterday which showed positive so I'm pretty sure if I test today it will also be positive. Is there any point in submitting a positive test result whilst I am currently locked up.? The doctor tells me he will let me go on the 7th day presumably with some sort of clearance certificate but if I submit a positive ATK today will that mess things up for me? My morchana status at the moment is orange I would have expected it to be red considering my initial PCR was positive, and there is no mention of my positive test result on the app. I'm wondering if the 1st hotel even registered the test result Obviously the day 5 test is for those who tested negative on the day 1 PCR but developed COVID afterwards, but I was positive on day 1 so I'm not really sure what to do now, I asked the doctor who phones me up occasionally and his reply was a typical "don't know/ up to you" Anybody been through this that can make a suggestion ? For what its worth I don't have any symptoms at all

if granny died from flu at 80 (before covid appeared) that would have been considered "natural causes"

of course he believes it , they all do , lol don't you remember about maybe 4 or 5 years ago when they held some sort of "exorcism" to rid a government building of "dark forces" There were also some "serious ????allegations" regarding Taksins use of Khmer black magic I used to think that the so called educated elite only pretended to believe in this rubbish as a way of controlling the masses through fear, and that they based the important decisions on more scientific / factual data. I have known for a long time that i was wrong, so dreadfully wrong

absolutely unbelievable, it's he or him for men and she and her for women end of

How could you possibly know how they will travel home and indeed what will happen on the journey? Do you have special powers?

who are you to tell people what to do ???

There were a few moments during the 6 day wait when i wished i had gone down that route but I'm glad I didn't. Firstly the prices seem to be around the $100 mark and obviously there will be no guarantee honoured or even offered as far as I could see. Secondly I would still have had to find / scan / upload etc all the required documents to send to the "company" . so nothing gained there Thirdly, in reality all i would have achieved is to have introduced an unnecessary third party into the process who would no doubt become just as difficult to contact in the event of a problem There always seem to be people making a living by offering help when its not required, many of them advertising on here, and it never ceases to amaze me how people manage to find their way to Thailand and then to some remote border point all by them selves and then feel the need to pay some horrible pestering character 100 baht, or whatever the going rate is these days, to fill in a simple form at the immigration check point My advice would be to do it yourself and save the money, just apply as early as you can, as soon as you know your flight details, and contrary to what some of the "experts" say you don't need a visa to apply for the Pass (assuming you are from a country that qualifies for visa exempt) In the mean time , its a couple of weeks till I fly, so, now that I'm an "expert" if anybody wants to send me $300 (i have a 100% success rate) and all their details including bank and credit card details i will apply on your behalf (joking)

Forgot to say, the only thing that didn't return to normal in a few days was the price, of course !!!!!

Looks like the panic mongering has started already ! Happened in the UK a few months ago, a couple of petrol stations had a temporary delivery problem, it wasn't an issue until the idiots in the media got hold of it and blew it out of all proportion ... within a few hours the fuel "crisis" was in full swing. They found the first queue and helicopter footage was all over the tv, film crews were sent out to garage forecourts showing arguments between people desperate for fuel . There were a few "fuel industry" types on the TV telling everybody that there was in fact plenty fuel available, but the media got their way in the end and panic buying started, When 20million people who normally drive around with 5 - 10 litres in their tanks suddenly decide to fill up at the same time it's obvious what is going to happen, and as the pumps ran dry the media frenzy continued...first. It was all down to Brexit causing polish lorry drivers to go home, then there was a World shortage of lorry drivers. then more women needed to become lorry drivers, The prime minister appeared on TV learning to drive a truck, presumably to encourage some of the 3million unemployed to get of there <deleted> and learn to drive To keep the panic going there were, of course, reports that the Military would have to get involved with the usual film footage of uniformed soldiers driving trucks. There was talk of a priority system so that the "vulnerable" would get their fuel before others. With the usual references to the "winter of discontent" and the probable need for rationing and fuel coupons, and we all needed to change to electric cars etc. etc. It went on and on and on ! Meanwhile once all the terrified sheep had filled up their tanks and any other containers they could get hold of, the sudden spike in demand stopped and despite the best efforts of the media things returned to normal in a few days.. It doesn't take much to upset the delicate balance of life so I think the original post of this thread should have been taken down by the monitors and the person who wrote it informed why ......either way he should be ashamed of himself.....Panicmonger

Applied last Friday for mine, got the scam email on Saturday, then the registration seemed to go missing for a while on Monday (but it might have been my mistake when logging in) Finally got the approval today 6 days almost to the minute ! strangely I received 3 emails each containing a Pass, they all had the same number etc but the QR codes are different on each one

that's exactly what i meany

bit like christmas really

these are the people that listen to ,and believe all they hear, on mainstream media they have had the fear of god put into them and will probably never be able to listen to reason, For gods sake the queen of UK has just had it , she's 95, she reduced her workload to "light duties" for a week or so and just carried on Can we please just stop going on about it?

I can't believe people are still wittering on about this... Its over ...just accept it..

i wish the actual Thailand pass arrived as quickly as the spam email, I applied on Friday and got the spam on Saturday, Its Tuesday now and still no sign of the elusive Thailand pass yet . I applied for a visa on the same day and i received that already

Oh for Gods sake, another retired teacher ,we bow to your superior knowledge of the English language, why don't you keep your corrections to yourself ?

"poo" !! how old are you like 5 or 6 ????
