That's worrying.

And how many would have passed a PCR test if made to take one before the flight ? 
You also have to wonder in ASQ how often the staff are tested and if they are doing certain staff to one room or are the staff going from room to room ? I’m guessing cleaners aren’t free to wander in and out of rooms as they please ! ????

always somewhere else except for actually in thailand per se. 

 good on the Thais for being vigilant, they are so much smarter about the whole pandemic than the west..
