XtraFly Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 2 Questions: Let's say I test +ve on day 1 or day 5, and they want me to quarantine at a hospital and pay out of pocket and then bill my insurance cos that's the scenarios I'v read. 1- What happens If I say F you I'm not paying or I don't have money to pay ? how can they force me to pay first out of pocket and then bill my insurance ? 2- Can I refuse to go to hospital since I'm asymptomatic and insist to quarantine at the Hotel. ? I'm speaking in regards to Phuket Test and Go ONLY, I read some people did that and they isolated at their own cost at a hotel rather than a hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I'd bet it depends on local situation. You most likely would be making a nuisance of yourself and they might accomodate you...or they might have standing orders to physically throw a net over you and force you into a room.

Popular Post internationalism Posted February 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) If asymptomatic its hospitel 10 days from 22k. Each hospital has one. if you have foreign insurance they would take first deposit from your card and contact insurer. Your insurer not likely to pay asymptomatic. play symptomatic and your insurance will pay all costs. another option is to get thai issued asymptomatic insurance. They will charge insurer, without need for deposit. by signing at the airport a pink medical order you subjected yourself to all rigours of quarantine. if you dont have money for deposit they might take you to field hospital. if you try resist you would be locked in field hospital, expelled after 10 days and blacklisted. You can avoid 5th day lockup by going on day 2 (strait after checking out from hotel) to hospital pcr test with your pink order, stating, that you have symptoms. You can disappear after if they let you go (you can tell them you are going back to your hotel), but likely to keep you in and run fast test (2-3h). keep calm and dont do runner. You will got arrest warrant. Stopped on exit. Court, fined 20k and blacklist Edited February 5, 2022 by internationalism 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pond Life Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Is the pink slip new ? I never saw one when I came into Thailand early Nov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 21 minutes ago, Pond Life said: Is the pink slip new ? I never saw one when I came into Thailand early Nov. It depends. I arrived early November and was given the RTK test kit for the 7th day DIY test with instructions to send a photo of the test result to the hotel. My friend arrived maybe ten days later and he was given the pink slip and presented himself at the designated hospital in Pattaya for the 7th day RTK test. Since I was headed up-country, maybe that's why I got the DIY method versus my friend heading to Pattaya? There was talk back then about a shortage of RTK tests. Add in the fact that some people didn't wait for their first test result, or didn't bother with the second test and stories about hospitals not knowing how to report the second test walk-in customers, it's a bit of a shambles. Now we have a large amount of Russian and Kazakh arrivals presenting 'questionable' PCR test certificates, who knows what the next control measure will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Pink slip is from 23.12 when they introduced the second testing on day 5-7. usually given in the airport, but occasionally on air plane from the beginning of january. Might depend on air line. Emirates dont have it Korean gave one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I don't know about Phuket, but here in Pattaya, many covid positive people are staying free in a covid hotel (the Grand Bella) next to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm speaking in regards to Phuket Test and Go ONLY, I read some people did that and they isolated at their own cost at a hotel rather than a hospital. This is the latest I can find about the guidelines issued by Thailand’s Medical Services Department issued to health care facilities regarding the home isolation of SARS-CoV-2 positive persons. I remember reading somewhere else that being less than 60 years old is another criterion that must be met to qualify for home isolation. Whether this still applies, and applies unconditionally, I do not know. Whether a hotel room counts as a "home" for the purpose of self-isolation and whether a hotel would allow it even it were permitted would remain to be seen. There appear to have already some cases like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
