TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are required to undergo a 7-day quarantine in a hotel in Pattaya, you must stay in a certified AQ (Alternative Quarantine) hotel, not a SHA+ hotel. During this quarantine, guests are strictly confined to their rooms and cannot move around within the hotel. This applies particularly if coming from a high-risk country.

7 days Quarantine only if you come from a high risk country and of course you have to stay in room all the time.

that’s Sandbox not quarantine. If fully vaccinated but not coming from a country on the list.

If not vaccinated then it’s quarantine.

i dont think pattaya is a sandbox area.

Are you vaccinated and coming from one of the countries listed. If so its only 1 night in SHA plus hotel which can be in pattaya and you only have to stay in hotel until results of first test is known, you are then free to wander.

i think you need to do 7 days in room as I dont think pattaya is sandbox. Phuket is an option or just wait for more clarification. Pattaya is dead anyway and bars are not opening till dec 1

You typed as I was. You will be able to move around Pattaya as you want but check in with the hotel each day.

For quarantine the hotel must be AQ, not SHA+. Strictly confined in your room.
