Hi, about the Pullman advantages etc ,it’s all on the Accor website concerning the ASQ approved hotels. 

 

Do you have a link to that site? I can't find it

Thanks for the epistle.

No bum washer at a Sheraton ? Are you sure ?

Must be the only hotel room in Bangkok without 

 

Not what we've experienced with somewhat nicer/falang orientated hotels such as the Pullman.      Even in Krabi we stayed at a very large quite nice hotel and darn it was missing the bum gun.

 

We stayed at the Chatrium Bangkok Riverside a few months back and the fine hotel had plenty of toilet paper for those wanting it but alas no bum gun.

As the OP experienced:

 

https://www.qatarairways.com/en/press-releases/2020/July/qatar-airways-further-enhances-its-safety-measures-onboard-for-p.html

 

On the BER DOH flight, a mask requirement was announced, but in Business it seemed loosely enforced.  No exception for Business was announced, nor did I see anyone totally not wearing any mask, I just saw Germans wearing them German style, same as I did back in Canary Islands in December.

 

I don’t remember what guidance if any was given for DOH BKK.

 

Interesting policy link, thanks.

 

edit: maybe policy changed after global second wave?

May I ask for how long you had to buy insurance cover for visa exempt?

The COE requirement is that it cover your entire stay.  As that is ambiguous, and anyway I want to have COVID insurance, I bought a six month policy.  Note that your normal Austrian insurance will almost certainly not pay for COVID if you are traveling against official advice.

Was this only travel/Covid19 insurance or general medical insurance in/outpatient?

 

It’s general accident / illness plus COVID so it’s not “health insurance” but it’s comparable to Nomads or whatever.  Seemed like an ok deal but you can shop around, easy to find these online.  Standard exemptions apply: pre-existing conditions, falling off TukTuk while on yabba, etc.

 

Your other questions are answered above.  Also there was a couple, I think maybe Germans, who did a YouTube review of this ASQ hotel in a big suite, you should look it up.
