So you just find it unpalletable and repulsive that some of us have other options, and we made money from our time here. Great money actually. Carry on festering in your own self loathing.

Can't see the 1,000Bt per night 2/3star hotels being in the mix. My guess 5,000 per night. Those involved will be "high end" establishments with association and connections in the Govt. ...........well I maybe wrong, a quick look on booking.com and some of these hotels are in a very reasonable price range. In fact it looks like many very good hotels are now sub 1,500Bt. No tourists will come here. All this bad media streams. These army crooks are done. They should promote domestic ???????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 10 hours ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said: The Movenpick one in BKK had a total package price that worked out to something above 4000b per night for each night of the 2 week stay, including the required medical checks and ending COVID test. Bargain! Meanwhile, in the Isle of Man, returning residents of the Isle of Man have to pay for the Covid-19 swab test before boarding the ferry at Heysham (England), pay for the ferry and pay for the the subsequent, mandatory 14-day quarantine at the IoM government-provided quarantine facility (golf resort).

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. OK. Five years then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the UK is concerned until the UK foreign office changes its advice not to undertake foreign travel, there is no new UK insurance you can take out to meet requirements anyway. Then wait and hope. Better you try to get it in another country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ???? Major problems for us stuck in the US while family is in LOS are A. The Thai Embassy and Consulates (if open) are only dealing with Thai citizens trying to get home and diplomats, can't get a visa. B. Find a flight as only repatriation flights allowed in to Thailand right now. C. $100,000 policy that specifically covers COVID-19, have yet to see one of those and have been looking (my policy is over $100k but can't get anything specifically saying covers COVID-19 in writing). D. A number of declarations that Thailand is going to selectively allow foreigners depending on country of origin with the US being down the list due to the rates of infections and deaths (and until an agreement signed between the two countries). I have already braced my mind and heart to the fact that I may have to wait until next May (due to work schedule) before I will get back to my teens, my 2 yr old, and my wonderful wife.

dallen52 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 On one day they offer to pay for accommodation in an effort to stimulate the tourists. Then the next day they offer up market isolation options in luxury hotels... They write that people requiring covid19 treatment are not to be charged by private hospitals. The government will pay. But if you have private insurance it's ok to use. Oh but it now appears that this is for thais only. You couldn't make this stuff up. This is Thailand... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 5000 baht per night ? If they include a 14 day girlfriend for that price I might consider it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex 012 Posted June 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2020 So let me get this right. If I want to come to Thailand to play for a week on Bangla or in Pattaya walking street, 1 week in Thailand on holiday, plus 2 weeks quarantine there and 2 weeks quarantine when i return in my home country. So I'm paying 5 x weeks accommodation for 1 week of a holiday plus an inflated air ticket plus no employer will give 5 weeks off. Or say I go with my family and sit in the polluted beaches. 4 in the family X 5 weeks. Inflated airfares, 2 x rooms for 5 weeks. Sure tourism will recover, it's dead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKStuntz Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 If I already have: — a Non-Imm ‘B’ Thai visa — a Thai work permit — a domestic air ticket to go to Udon Thani from Bangkok — a place of residence in Nong Khai — A health certificate that that indicates A negative covid-test result Then, will I be allowed to travel onward from Bangkok, to get to my apartment in Nong Khai — before starting my self-quarantine there? — or will I be required to be quarantined in Bangkok immediately after my international arrival? If the latter, would there be any alternative to paying 5,000 baht per night for quarantining? I am ticketed to return to Thailand on Tuesday, 7 July, and I’m still seeking a clear answer to my question. I would greatly appreciate any info you may have. Thanks.

And as nobody knows there is no answer - if quarantine still as now you would be held on arrival in Bangkok for the 14 days and believe price is charged one time at 30-50k for stay and 3 meals a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
