Is treatment for Thais in these completely free.?

Treatment at your local govt hospital for a Thai should be 10 baht or free... 

 

If it is not your local hospital there will be a charge, though Emergency care is pretty reasonable, even for me as a non-Thai...

 

That has been my experience. 

Hospitel... 

 

Assuming you spelt that correctly - Hospitel, an isolation facility supervised by medical staff housed in a hotel.

 

Both Thai’s and foreigners have to pay for Hospitel isolation. 

 

Thai’s also have the option to go to state isolate (in the field hospitals / isolation facilities). 

 

Realistically - IF symptoms are non-existent to mild, people (Thai’s and foreigners) are just told to stay at home. 

 

Tourists who test positive and have no or mild symptoms and don’t have a home to isolate in may be ‘encouraged’ to stay at a hospitel, but there are stories of tourists refusing, and they just go back to their current hotel and isolate there.

 

 

 

 

you confuse them with the government organised rudimentary quarantine quarters which are free to the Thai.

A couple of months ago my Thai wife caught covid, mild case nothing serious and was told to either stay home or go to a covid hotel, she didn't want the rest of us here in the house to get infected so she stayed a week at a covid hotel....didn't have to pay a single baht.

Edit, and it was a nice hotel, TV, air con, wifi, it wasn't some field isolation hospital.

As above, if you actually mean a Hospitel (private hotel facility) and not a hospital or a state-run COVID isolation facility

 

In some locations, government may have arrangements to subsidize stays at some hotels
