What kind of joke is this by authorities

[RichardColeman]

Appears Thai hotel quarantine is just another scam for getting money to me. 

[kotsak]

I assume they would like the money upfront in case you kick the bucket while in quarantine?

Everything is.

 

Remember where you are. 

[whiteman]

daylight robbery also it does not list what also you get for the money eg  food internet room service stuff like that I suppose when you got there they will put theses add on to your bill  Oh I forgot the 7%+    ++  ++ tax

[DrTuner]

Highlights how utterly overpriced Phuket is.

[Geoffggi]

Ha Ha Ha!!!!!! Happy ending on a daily basis also ....................LOL

The hotels are out of luck for months to come, so they need to try something, but there is faint whiff of governmental opportunism in the air.

 

Pass.   

[CNXexpat]

Most of the people they commented above: "I haven´t read the article and the prices of the hotels but I need to write a comment". 

 

Yes, if you book a suite in a 5* hotel for one, two or more people you have to pay a lot - also without quarantine. All the prices mentioned above are far below 500k.

[Laughing Gravy]

Greed. I hope Karma serves them a dish that they deserve and have to close soon.

[crazykopite]

????5* in Thailand you have to be joking Who in there right mind would spend a ridiculous amount of money to be locked in your room. No doubt the news in the coming days is that all these hotels/resorts are now fully booked with millionaires ????????????????????????????

[Lingba]

what a bunch of idiots

You could do some international tourism and spend 14days in each country. I'm surprised TAT hasn't started their Quarantine Tourism Hub campaign yet. Where are they? In quarantine?

[JusticeGB]

Headline of 500,000 baht very misleading. Most of the listed hotels are under 50,000 baht.

[bermondburi]

I don't like it but if things aren't back to normal by December I'm probably going to do it. I'll go for one of the cheaper options. 

 

I'm hoping that when so few people take up this offer, some kind of home self-isolation is allowed at some point. I'd quite happily do that. 

[Burl Ives]

So remind me., which hotels are the 100 odd US soldiers staying in and whose paying for them? Ah yes, the Conrad and the Anantara Siam, between 90,000 -144,000 each

[tso310]

Amari Buriram 54k ! The football is not even on until 12 Sept.

What happened to the Maple Hotel in Bangna ? It was on the list yesterday.

[newcomer71]

I'm tired of this b*llsh*t. But somehow I'm happy they always their true colors. Green dollars color. And little business are going belly up, everyday more... 

[wmlc]

Before judging, consider that these rates include food as well and there are tests and so forth done by the hospitals linked to that hotel to maintain the regulations for the quarantine. I admit that some of the prices are high, but if you look at a 40,000 baht option, that is 2,666 per day for 14 days including 3 meals and medical testing while there. I wood say that’s not a rip off. Even the 45,000 baht is affordable if you break down by dividing by 14, that equals 3750 per day. Well worth it if you need to come back to Thailand to work or see your family if married. 

[Jackie66]

What is the difference between a 50k hotel and 150k hotel if you can only stay in your room? Hopefully you can at least choose different restaurant food not pad thai and fried rice every day.

Odd....it seems the world-renowned Nana Hotel was left off the list. It caters to the most elite and discriminating clientele....and it's just a short 5 minute walk to Bumrungrad Hospital. Must be some sort of oversight...or misunderstanding...or somethng.

 

 

 

[hashmodha]

Desperation beginnings!

I actually read the article ????

The rates seem fair to me considering the package! cheaper than a "normal" stay in the same hotel 

I shall ostracise myself for eternity for being a minority ????  

[lamyai3]

What a racket. Promoting luxury quarantine, when in fact you're under house arrest confined to the room and not even free to enjoy the facilities that got the hotel it's star rating in the first place. The rules are so draconian they even prohibit alcohol, so there's no winding down with a gin and tonic after a long listless day spent staring out of the window. 

[Ketyo]

What they should do is test everyone when they get off the plane. If everyone passes on the plane, let everyone quarantine at home for 14 days. Give them the App if necessary.

 

But, if anyone on the plane tests positive for COVID.. then the whole plane has to go into government quarantine for 14 days either at a cheap government facility or one of these higher end options at their own cost.

[bkk6060]

Hope I am not in a future position, but I certainly would do it and would stay in a Movenpick suite.  

 

[Flyfish]

Price includes 3 meals a day, internet ect and in many cases Covid testing. Many are priced 50 to 70k for 14 nights......what would you expect to pay for 14 nights full board?
