Popular Post smedly Posted June 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2020 quarantine is isolation in a room with things being brought to you, only possible benefit staying at one of these places is the quality of food, all other 5 star services that you would normally receive will not be available - so what exactly is the point of paying through the nose for stuff you can't use 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was going to be locked up for 14 days I'd rather do it in a large 5 star suite, jacuzzi, large flatscreen TV etc. than in a dingy little room. Obviously the higher quality food, selection of wines etc. would make a big difference too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketDog Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I'm shocked that the government is working with the hotel industry to extort more money from farang. I've never heard of that scheme before. Well, wait, there is that insurance thing with immigration. But other than that...... Wait, there is that thing about...... Never mind. ⚠ < sarcasm alert > 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) 60k for 14 days ain't bad at all. 144k is pushing it a bit. Edited June 12, 2020 by DrTuner 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfunster Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I have a friend who works at an international hotel in central Bangkok. Allegedly, requests for a 40% kick-back were made to get on the list. Shameless. His hotel politely told them to take a running jump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 These rooms are for returning Thais not for price gouging of Aussies or any other non-Thais who are not yet allowed back in. The consulate referred to is the Thai consulate where Thais can advise where they want to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
