Coronavirus quarantine in Thailand: great food and fast Wi-fi, sleeping with a stranger … and a shame about my underpants

+ Ever wondered what two weeks in a Thai government-run coronavirus quarantine facility might be like?

+ Then wonder no more, Thai-American freelance visual journalist Charles Dharapak experienced it so you don’t need to

I stood at the curb with a group of 75 newly returned Thai citizens from Indonesia. After three hours of tedious processing at Suvarnabhumi Airport, they still wouldn’t let us leave. Officials posed with us for photographs as if we were celebrities.

 

“Don’t worry,” one officer said through his surgical mask. “Just be patient.” We were grateful to be back in Thailand. Many had been stuck overseas, flights cancelled due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. We were finally going home. Or so we thought.

 

Unclear on what was happening, we boarded buses. I checked the news. Thailand’s government had just announced new restrictions on inbound flights to limit imported infections.

"The room was clean and well-appointed: flat-screen TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, and a mop. A hot shower and ample toilet paper. Fast Wi-fi. Two brand new beds, two sets of personal items including toiletries and hospital pyjamas."

 

What... no mini bar? This is an outrage!

I think he's hoping they choke on a bone and can be removed from the pool of possible confirmed patients into other causes of death.
