  1. Yes. Maitria Hotel, belongs to Chatrium group. It's a few hundred meters from the hospital, normally used for medical tourists to recuperate.
  2. a friend told me in detail; arrived 31 December: "when you test positive, the hospital where you went to test will call you to inform you. the hotel staff only informs you "the hospital will come to pick you up, same hospital as test'. then an ambulance will come to get you, 3 paramedics in those spacesuits come to your room and accompany you with your luggage to the ambulance who leaves with vehicular beacons on but not the siren. the paramedics speak thai, they know where you go. you had no choice of places to go. the relationship hotel-hospital seemed geographical also, near each other. then you will be placed-in this case- in the hotel wing of the hospital (Piyavate Hospital/ Maitria Hotel) your documents will be photographed but no signing of hotel registration card, no copy of credit card taken, no deposit made. copies of insurance policy made, if thai insurance it is made clear insurance will provide; hospital/hotel contacts insurance. staff will tell you 2 weeks, nurse will tell you 10 day stay. very simple food but healthy, though almost no fruit or even vegetables. food will be dropped on side table in front of room, you put garbage outside by evening in closed plastic bag. water and towels provided for 2 weeks. no housekeeping. doctor calls to room, vital signs taken daily by nurse, lung xray on first day. doctor calls with results of xray. there is medicine in the room : favipirapir 200 mg first day: 2 x 9 (nine) tablets, then 4 days of 2 x 4 (four) tablets. this one you have to take; this medicine is not approved in USA and UK paracetamol, antihistamine and anti-mucolytic. these are optional. you communicate through 2 apps (nurse and hotel), and 2 telephone lines (nurse/hotel) there is a list on the app with (unhealthy) snacks and beverages. there is a drop-off point where friends, family etc can leave food and necessities for you. these will be inspected. no alcohol, no smoking and also no delivery allowed of these." if you need more details I will ask him. He tested negative 72 hrs before flight (PCR) and again ATK negative day before and morning of flight in afternoon. ATK self test in room upon admission was positive. People on flights were very lax in wearing masks and staff didn't intervene, also crowding at transit and rushing at disembarking.
