As you said, "Everyone entitled to their opinion. Even crazy ones."

 

True. What I find surprising is your post re 2-3 year before quarantine not required,  so far only 3 nudge. All laughs of course

Do they mean a COVID-29 test result that is negative?!?!?

Yes. Also this is not easy hurdle. Some USA guys stating difficult/impossible.

But basically only planes landing (other than cargo) are repatriation flights.

There are half dozen or more airlines flying scheduled flights into Bangkok that have never stopped - they fly in without passengers but fly out with paying customers.  The repatriation flights are bringing 3-400 per day lately and even that appears to be just a small dent in the queues trying to return.

I dont think it's a money thing. Thais are not real strong at following the rules so quarantine at home is basically no quarantine at all.

Thanks for the valuable information.  In this case i will just need international flights so i can fly my wife from Phuket, meet her in Dubai and go to our house in Wales.  Hopefully by that time UK will allow isolation in your own home.  I am missing Phuket though, sitting in my local with a cold San Mig and looking out at the ocean........haha

Welsh roots too bach, just bought a gaff back there last year Pembrokeshire coast, to re lorate - not IF but WHEN the shhht hits the fan. After 14 years here prefer to be somewhere I know the rules, laws and requirements - or at least where these remain constant and I m treated as an equal, because its my country.  

That seems a good plan mate, all the best with it.  Have a beer overlooking a different ocean.

This place is done for, sit back and wait til it implodes and they go through the cycle of dispair. I ve mentally moved on.  Sold up all my assets, now just waiting to see how this shhht fest pans out.

 

Good luck.

Sound like a good idea to get VIP falang customer who can afford a price 10X Bangkok Marriot Hotel.

My guess on room rate 50.000 THB.

Why can't people quarantine in their own condo, house or guesthouse? you know treat people like adults so no extra price gouging

Because adults in the 2 countrys I know of Australia and Thailand, didnt stay in self isolation let alone quarantine, Thats why.

Cost per night?

Look at the names of the hotels.expencive.plus everything you buy is from the hotel.very expencive.and you are stuck there for 2 weeks.The people who own these types of hotels are connected with those above.This is were the idea has come from because they are empty.

They can keep their country.  So many other countries to live in

that are not anti westerner in every way, shape and form.  By the way do

you qualify for subsidized holidays by thai government? Of course not, you

are a westerner.  Same situation a few years ago when only thais could buy new

vehicles tax free.  What does it take?

The 14-day quarantine period is nonsense.

 

The results of an RT-PCR test take a maximum of 48 hours. If the test result is negative, why then an unnecessarily long quarantine?

I saw Vienna Airport apparently having 300Eur tests at the airport and give passengers a choice of test or quarantine. But as that's per person, it's 1200 EUR for parents with 2 kids, for instance. Well, probably still cheaper than 14 days quarantine...

I have been saying for a year or 2 that Phuket will be deserted in 3 years but everyone thinks i'm nuts.  They are shooting themselves in the foot with all the greed and overcharging.  Many places cheaper and more welcoming that Thailand now.  We were in Myanmar last year and were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was.  Cheap and great service everywhere we went.  Add to that the fact that the Thai authorities seem to want all of us Farangs out and welcome only Chinese...

Phuket has always been that way and people have been saying that for as long as I can remember, and I have been here nigh on thirty years now.

You’re actually berating a country for putting its own citizens before the whims and needs of Western people (foreigners) settle down get a grip.

I'd take that over paying for a luxury quaratine hotel, but like someone else said I think the state facilities are only for Thais.

no, the state facilities are for Thais and foreigners

but it's free only for the Thais, foreigners have to pay for their stay.

These so-called USA guys must be Hicks in the sticks, because Coronavirus tests are available in every major city in America.

 

Now, it's not easy, might have to make an appointment and wait a week or two.

 

That's probably a major hurdle for the low IQ Americans you heard from on TVF. ????

A good way for the hotels in Thailand to make money.

How about Chiang Mai

The wall they built to keep foreign invaders out didn't work. ????

Nice. Conceptually, it is a good idea. And only $17,000 for a 14 day stay, I would estimate. Sweet deal, if you have huge money. The reality is, that Thailand attracts very few of these really big fish these days. Well before Covid, their numbers were fast declining, for a dozen good reasons. And who is going to willingly subject themselves to a 14 day prison sentence, no matter how comfortable? My guess is that most people in that position financially, will just wait this thing out elsewhere. 

i,am sure some people will take up on the offer.what will the cost be  is the question over the top i think.all depends what the government offers during your stay.u take your choice an what u want if you return now
