Safest option for a Bangkok hotel.

[Elkski]

Just imagine  checking in to a room with someone who had the virus. 

Or enjoy your taxi  ride.  I agree.  Check your insurance policy and also your  countries travel warnings.

Saw this sign on a bar door in soi 22 last week. Should be safe then?

Oh Nuts area.

Never see them there.

[buick]

you might consider retroasis hotel on sukhumvit btwn asoke and phrom phong BTS stations.  it is on the odd soi side (odd numbers) roughly across from soi 22 (i think it is near soi 29).  there is an au bon pain on corner of soi 31/sukhumvit that you can use for breakfast or further down that way is the robin hood pub.  it is a small place, not expensive, get the best room (45 sqm) and enjoy !!!

I would suggest staying at a hotel which has no "confirmed-positive" guests.

 

Avoid any "all you can eat" buffets as the Chinese will be all over it. Eat somewhere else.

Also be careful when walking on the side walk, or traveling on the airport train.

This thread, I tell you, thaivisa at its very best.

 

The perfect blend of ignorance, paranoia and just plain useless, basesless speculation.

Any hotel will be fine. The hysteria over this is ridiculous. 
 

I prefer the indigo hotel on wireless road.

Somehow (if we can believe the reports from Thai officals) Thailand seems to be an exception.

After spending a large part of my life studying Asian girls I think  it is possible to pick the different nationalities.

I have come to the conclusion that Japanese are the gold standard in that department (my wife excepted of course !).

Guesthouses, not hotels. Chinese travel in huge numbers so a 6 room guesthouse is highly unlikely to have Chinese guests.

Lots of younger Chinese travel independently and stay in small establishments

Well there’s still a lot in Pattaya, Central festival had loads yesterday. Where are they staying ?

If you are that scared stay home (if there aren't any infections there)

[crabbie2020]

 

Avoid any country where the Chinese are allowed in visa free!

If I was living in mainland China I’d be concerned. Even there, the number of infections per day has dropped 20%. Comparing infection rate and deaths to viruses that started in far less dense population areas or places like Hong Kong that don’t try and hide the facts from their people and have far better medical facilities is disingenuous. There’s a reason why so few people out of China have died from it.

 

”But the number of new infections nationally was down almost 20% from the day before, from 3,062 to 2,478.” BBC

I cant imagine being a Thai girl who works in a bar............lol.   How are they holding up?  

[El Matador]

Khao San Road for some reason is almost only for Western tourists.

But maybe better wait one month or 2 to see how things evolve.

You sure are racist wanting to avoid the Chinese. Better not bother coming to Thailand and just stay in your home country, you'll feel safer.

I have a different take. Just like the Boeing 737 is probably going to be the safest plane in the sky when it's finally allowed to fly, the Chinese now are the safest group to be around.

I've got new for you, the Boeing 737 has been flying for a very long time already. I took one just a couple of weeks ago.
