Its a multinational conspiracy. Let's hunt'em down!! GODSPEED!! Nothing to do with the hordes of Thais who descended on different provinces during the New Year holiday, then returned to their place of work afterwards. Don't be concerned about this small group of farang, it's already here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFishman1 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’m not sure I understand they leave their country and their negative they get to the airport and they tested negative and Koh Chang the test comes back positive something sounds awfully fishy here TIT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they check out ? Do a runner ? I would have thought with all the panic the hotel would have had armed guards stationed outside the room the minute a positive test came in. What's the time between positive and removal from hotel to quarantine hospital on a test and go , you'd think it immediate ? there is more to this than the hotel is saying I think and the hotel could well be covering something up. Seems very odd people of three different nations would all do a runner at the same time - odds on they'll be found and say they were told they were negative and could go Ur rigth.When i did my 15 days quarantene last year in BKK they had an alarm notified if my roomdoor stayed open for 2-3 minuts.The staff came rigth away to check and i was only that my door wasnt fully locked after i picked up my food ouside he room.

rbkk Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 13 minutes ago, ukrules said: I wonder when the test results came back. I find it hard to believe that they were notified that they tested positive and then 'did a runner', this all sounds strangely familiar to another case that happened recently. How long did the test results take to come back? The report says tested positive. They should have been isolated and made to wait for the results of a second test. Also don't forget the RTP didn't find the Israeli themselves, they just went to collect him from the bar where he says he was. The odds of finding this bunch are 6x easier but I still wouldn't bet on it. With many of the embassies not working on the weekend it could be Monday before a "capture" is reported.

NanLaew Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 3 hours ago, mtls2005 said: Seems odd to me that there is a Test & Go hotel in Koh Chang? Where was their test performed Bangkok, a PTT station in Chonburi, the pier, on the boat, on Koh Chang? So they arrived at Suvarnabhumi, made their way via van/car, boat to an island - a journey which probably took what, eight plus hours. They probably gave phone numbers all along the way, could some thai general simply ring their mobile and ask where they are? So, I guess hotels aren't filing TM.30's <SHOCKER>. I read about 10 days ago, around the time that omicron was still mostly another country's problem, that the radius for SHA accredited hotels handling test and go arrivals had been extended beyond Bangkok's 30 km radius and the usual beach resorts. As long as the hotel could provide dedicated meet and greet transport and a local hospital affiliation, they could accept test-and-go arrivals.

I think you will find that most in Pattaya have it or have had it - they will be adding very little to the numbers that can only be found through mass testing does anyone know if the figures published for Pattaya are PCR ATK or both - nope, hiding real numbers keeps the place open until 9pm because covid wakes up after that time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was probably the required day 5-7 test. Hotel has no responsibilities in that regard. Nor are there any limitations on movement in effect pending the results. Simply took the authorities a few days to find them. Tests came back, had to contact immigration who did a TM 30 search and found them.

cardinalblue Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Lots of info missing….we’re they all in the same party and traveling together? All part of the same test and go entry for koh Chang? If not part of the same group, really question the reliability of testing? For all 6 to test positive from first test negative? 2 things - need to be re-tested to prove reliability or some test corruption occurring which means an independent testing site source? what’s the test probability if not part of a sane traveling together party?

sandyf Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 3 hours ago, StayinThailand2much said: Exactly. How did all of them just sneak out of the hotel without anyone noticing? How did they just take the ferry without checks (or did they swim to the mainland)? I take it you have never been there. Many of the hotels have standalone accommodation and it would be very easy to leave without checking out. We were there last week and in a block of 4 rooms about a hundred yard from reception, we would have lost the 500 baht deposit but that may not bother some. There were no checks for the ferry on the return journey, only going across. What I can't understand is how people complained bitterly about the previous quarantine arrangements, I did "time" mid Oct, and now complain about how porous the T & G is, seems like complaining has become a way of life for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
