Ginner Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 2 hours ago, Karma80 said: The trap is sprung! You have to make it out alive too. Remember that test before you fly? Better hope you didn't get covid while you were playing in the covid capital of SE Asia. Seriously though. Even with a robust insurance policy (very very few) that will genuinely pay for ALL your expenses in the event of an asymptotic test with no medically necessary treatment, nobody is covered for a quarantine hotel for being a close contact. I should think most if not all insurance companies will not pay out for quarantine in a hotel if you test negative for covid 19. Plus I thought they had to have a certificate showing they were negative before they could board the plane to travel to Thailand? So technically everyone who was on the same flight should be tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is why you have to choose a hotel that uses a more respected hospital, probably less chance of it happening at bumrungrad for example, if they still value international medical tourism, vs a smaller private hospital that is struggling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelbeer Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Nickelbeer said: This is extortion on a level with the Philippines "bullet scam". At least, in the Phil, we can be fairly sure that it will never happen again. Not so with Thailand. What are the rules on "alternative" quarantine?. My girlfriend tested positive, though with few symptoms and was allowed to stay in the condo building next door and the 3000 baht cost was shared by another female. The condo was apparently owned by her Aunt. Getting this information was difficult because her English is almost non-existent, even using a phone translator. I would like to be tested, but I don't have huge sums of money to contribute to public officials. Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Many of the $50,000 policies for ThailandPass/Test&Go I've looked at (AXA, Tune) say they cover Asymptomatic detention. But the fine print actually says that they only pay for medically necessary treatment. I would expect that this will change though. Without assurances, people will not come. Sharing a van, from the airport to the hotel, with someone who tests positive, while you test negative, still lands you in detention, with a bill ranging from 50,000 - 150,000 THB, and insurance companies telling to to pound sand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a good room at 35,000 baht a night! That wasn't just for his hospital bill though, was it? As clearly stated in the article, that was the estimated possible total for him being in hospital, plus his wife and two kids being in an ASQ hotel. As someone else mentioned, if his wife and two kids later came up positive as well, that could end up costing him even more.
