Popular Post christophe75 Posted March 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Oh my.... the more articles they publish "to clarify" ... the deeper we sink into muddy waters.

JCP108 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Then, there's this... "The Public Health Ministry on Thursday reported four new local coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases - men aged 20-42 years who arrived from Iran and Italy in the past week. It was also confirmed that healthy people returning from Covid-19 risk countries will be quarantined at specific and guarded facilities - the countries and facilities still to be announced." So, we learn today that when we return from traveling to or through a country on the list, we'll have to be quarantined in a guarded military facility. For real?! https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1872224/four-new-local-covid-19-cases 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 every time you hear an announcement from someone claiming to be an official the message and instructions are completely different, this happens on a regular basis in Thailand - the smaller ranks trying to make an impression of authority The trouble with a single lie is that you then have to tell more lies to maintain the lie - the lie snowball effect, a little tiny one becomes huge if it has a clear run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 3 days, it's still unclear. IS A FRENCH, GERMAN (complete the list) TOURIST, WITH NO SYMPTOMS, WILL BE QUARANTINED WHEN HE ARRIVES IN BANGKOK AIRPORT FOR 2 WEEKS ? YES OR NO ? Monday yes. Tuesday no. Wednesday... sorry too fast, I erase my Facebook post. Thursday perhaps ? Friday tik mak... Saturday "oh <deleted> we are deep into the crapper what have we done" etc. ???? YES OR NO ?

I need to know this. I have a flight from BKK to the U.S. via Japan in just a few days. Plan to stay there for one week, then return via transit in Japan (which so far has been on the list). I really, really, really want to know if I will be put into one of those guarded, undisclosed locations for quarantine for some (yet to be determined and communicated) time. If the quarantine is "just stay home for two weeks," I can handle that. I'm not enthusiastic about getting placed in some facility for weeks, though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtof2 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) A good news, no more Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, France and Germany in the list : RichardBarrow · 41m BREAKING: The Thai government has published a new list of high risk countries. These are: South Korea, China, Macao, Hong Kong, Italy & Iran. No compulsory quarantine unless you show any symptoms of #coronavirus. The message is now clear, #Thailand is open to tourists.

christophe75 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) "The message is now clear, #Thailand is open to tourists."

This list of 6 has been published. Mandatory... quarantine for tourists coming from those 6 countries. Mandatory but... Up to you. ???? "Stay in ur hotel for 14 days" "Sure" ???? Brace for....

Popular Post phkauf Posted March 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2020 These f'in Morons are going to kill whatever's left of the tourist market. With any luck they will bring down the entire government as the economy crashes and people demand change. What was originally an inept reaction to the virus outbreak (not banning Chinese at the start like other responsible countries), has now turned into absolute madness. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I cant imagine a hotel letting you stay 14 days self quarantine to me it's not practical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod the Sod Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 A slight variation to the theme. Leave for 2 weeks in Japan, all paid in full then arrive back in Thailand for 12 days then fly to UK (I am a UK citizen). If, in the interim they add Japan to the list will I be prevented from leaving Thailand for my home country after 12 days into a 14 day quarantine?

Mavideol Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 TAT and the usual misleading information and conflicting information...... the other post says the contrary The quarantine announcement, published in the official Royal Gazette on Thursday, classified South Korea, China, Macao, Hong Kong, Italy and Iran as "dangerous communicable disease areas".

You might get a double whammy, 24 days in Thailand and 14 back in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
