AndyAndyAndy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) So I landed in BKK (Suvarnabhumi) like a millions of other visitors. Everybody was able to leave the airport without temperature check or anything. That could be it. ???? But then I took plane from Don Muang airport to north Thailand. And upon landing I had temperature check, I had to do some paperwork (name, contacts, address etc etc). And they told me I can't leave my house for 14 days and that they will keep in contact with me. ???????????? I have 12 days to go... . ????????????

But upon landing in North Thailand they were talking to all farangs (not Thais). Once you told them you were coming to Thailand from some other country = 14 days quarantine.

Sheryl Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Not the law unless you also spent time in certain other EU countries in past 14 days. https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/eng/ind_outbreak.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was your mistake. If you'd said you'd just come in from the Czech Republic they would've had to let you go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 As long as you have a GF, booze and Netflix, 12 days should be OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it sounds like otherwise you would go everywhere and possibly infect others. Take it easy, it's only a few days. Imagine if you are infected and transmit it to everybody around you. And then, a few weeks later, after you feel fine again, everybody will remember that you were the guy to spread the virus. Stay calm, stay at home, maybe read a few books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some European countries have exceeded the number in South Korea. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ I think those Bangkok officials are not doing their job. I am glad Chiang Mai officials are. How will immigration know if you decide to travel out of your room one day?

Or go to Thaivisa and read the posts, it's more interesting than any books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirocco Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 So true. Certain periods, more and more closely related, I abandon crosswords and intellectual readings, for Thaivisa. I am saving books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday the kamnan and another person came around and took some photos. Today 20th March, 60 minutes ago, three health people turned up. Had to fill in some details on a form and answer some questions. Temperature taken and told to stay at home for 4 days - I had already been here 10 days. 10+4=14 days. They will call the wife at 10am every day and she has to report my temperature. Edit to add: they were all very nice people and no hassles and didn't seem concerned that I hadn't stayed home in the previous 10 days. Edit to add again: Surin province and I had flown from a neighbouring country. In a practical sense be prepared for the visit and 14 days. They didn't say isolation as such but just stay home for a total of 14 days or in my case 10 plus 4. Edited March 20, 2020 by emptypockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I actually find this very reassuring.....that fact that they are taking this seriously out there in the sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
