markah Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) My wife needs to return to Thailand to see her Father who is in ICU unrelated to Covid. Is there anyway she would be able to get around Quarantine? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Popular Post wmlc Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Absolutely not! What are the reasons she needs to avoid ASQ? How long has her father been in OCI. If it is more than 1 day, she could have arranged to come back already. I understand her father is in ICU but if it was my father in ICU, I would be doing my tests, booking my flights and ASQ immediately. I wouldn’t be on a forum trying to get info about how to avoid ASQ. The sooner she arrives, the sooner she will be out of ASQ. I suggest stop wasting time and get moving with her repatriation. Have her call the Thai embassy to start the process and if anyone can help under this situation, only they can help. Not us in a forum!!!

Popular Post Andyfez Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 'get around' quarantine .... I'm a Brit myself, but this irresponsible attitude I'm hearing from my home country is just so disappointing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tubby johnson Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 Skip quarantine and put her father's life at risk? She can whine, scream, beg and cajole all she wants, but this is irresponsible and against the law. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post natway09 Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 You do not mention where she is ? If the UK not a hope in Hades of skipping quarantine now the UK has the new strain. I feel for her but as is non corona related she can have someone organize a video conference. That, I am afraid is the best that can be done 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingstonkid Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Unfortunately ASQ would be the least of her worries. There's no way that the hospital will let her anywhere near him. There's just too many risks. The big question is where's she coming from if UK forget it they won't even let her in the country. Sorry guy I feel for her. My gf wanted to go visit her parents at NYE but because they are sick and older she couldn't because she's continually worried that she might be carrying it from working at hospital in BKK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sitti Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 I'm so sorry to hear that. Is her father's condition that serious? Is it life or death situation? She can always ask for embassy for help, but I seriously doubt authorities in Thailand will allow her to skip quarantine especially coming from UK under current situation. While in quarantine, perhaps she can ask her family to hold a tablet and do a video conference with her father. Anyway, like what others are saying, sooner she goes through quarantine, sooner she can go and see her father. Good luck!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cake Monster Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 Sadly, there is no way around the quarantine issue. This is just one of the tragic sides to this whole pandemic that many people dont realize. What about doing some ' Zoom " meetings with her Father. I know its not the same, but better than no contact at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ronaldo0 Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 Even if she went through ASQ I think it would be highly unlikely they will let her in to see him . My wife just took her father to hospital and if you aren’t the person needing treatment you need stay outside the hospital. This is in mahasarakam where there is very little COVID if any . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markah Posted January 5, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 Thanks for input guys. We are in the UK and have been in contact with her Embassy. Sadly looks like quarantine for 2 weeks. I know this is the way it is but I'm sure most of you can see the crappy situation she is in and can understand why I would ask the question. We know she will not be able to see her father, but would be nice that she can be with her family. We will get her over asap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxper Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Very sad, but I think not. Particularly with the last couple of weeks events. Many such cases out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiSePuede419 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just to give you a perspective, just heard about someone in America who flew to see their 98 year old parent, who is dying from dementia. They got PCR Covid tests before and after the trip. Negative 3 days after coming back. Then, the 98 year old parent tested positive. Then the person tested positive. Either the parent gave the child Covid or they got it traveling. May I suggest using a MOBILE PHONE with Line and making VIDEO CALLS to parent in ICU, maybe with the help of a nurse or cousin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In California you can not go to the hospital to see someone. Very difficult but good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Tongue Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hasn't Thailand put a travel ban on flights from the UK? If not, your wife already needs to be travelling if a ban isn't in place yet, and plan alternate routes through open countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
