TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among members is that if you and your partner are not legally married, you cannot share a room in a quarantine hotel in Thailand. While married couples are allowed to quarantine together, unmarried couples must stay in separate rooms. The rules are strictly enforced, and the rationale is primarily based on health and safety concerns related to COVID-19.

I wouldn’t think there’s much chance of that bill.

Can't recall the proper term at the moment; 'Compassionate grounds'? or something like that, out of respect for the 37 years.

Worst the RTE can do is say no.

You can share if you're legally married.

@Joe *****
not about $$$ - 2 people traveled to home airport - through said terminal - moved about on aircraft separately - likely traveled through at least on stopover airport terminal - traveled through BLK IAPT terminal and either one could have contracted virus -- double booking in quarantine defeats purpose...
Tara ******
If you're married you can stay in the same room, since one of my friends did that with her husband. But i think you then have to pay for a family room (but I'm not sure about that)
John ****************
@Tara *****
VFW Services Officer returned with Thai wife from America - 2 rooms - double cost - like "a prison" he said. 35.000 Baht each = 70,000 Baht
John ****************
NO shared rooms - NONE in a Thai quarantine & BTW, yes, they are hotel rooms - i.e., Marriot & LANDMARK & Terminal 21 in Bangkok's Sukhumvit

>can share a room in a quarantine hotel

A quarantine hotel is *NOT* a hotel. It's a hospital annex that's in a hotel. Do not view it as a hotel but instead a hospital room. Since you and your partner is not legally married, you can not share a room.
Simon **********
Benjamin ******
Paul Durkan Why not? Can you expand on it?
Benjamin ******
Paul Durkan Yes, I know they are hotels. As I said:

> It's a hospital annex that's in a hotel. Do not view it as a hotel but instead a hospital room

"A hospital annex". All quarantine hotels have nurses and doctors on call.

"that's in a hotel". All quarantine hotels were in former hotels that people could book. These hotels are now closed to the general public. If I am in Thailand now, I can not stay at those hotels.

"Do not view it as a hotel but instead a hospital room". The Thai government, and the hospitals that manage those hotels, are using that space to hold people who may have COVID-19. They meet medical standards, and there is a nurse who checks your temperature every day.

Sorry misread you information
John ****************
Separate - even if. You're married...

donkeys like this should just be removed from the group, giving out false information and too stupid to know better, if you arent a blithering moron go find a single quarantine hotel that states this info to back up your imaginary quote
Jared **********
@John *******
you might be having a stroke by how little sense you are making and incoherent sentences. Legal marriages can quarantine together, that’s not a question.
John ****************
@Jared *********
it is in question & it is foolish - nothing incoherent here
Jared **********
@John *******
you’re the only person confused, it’s common knowledge married couples can share rooms, go get a clue
John ****************
@Jared *********
I quoted a specific person's experience with a Thai wife.. REALITY CHECK...
Jared **********
@John *******
judging by your news sources it’s no wonder you’re lost and confused
Jared **********
@John *******
you didn’t quote anything, you’re as delusional as you are daft. I honestly think you’ve had a stroke, you should take a visit to the ER
Benjamin ******
@John *******
If you are married, you can share a room.
John ****************

@John *******
Can you provide your source?
John ****************
@Benjamin *****
I did - a real Falang with Thai wife
Benjamin ******
@John *******
That doesn't make sense to me. But thank you.
John ****************
@Benjamin *****
double booking & bunking is what makes no sense.
Benjamin ******
@John *******
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to try and parse your sentences. Good bye.
John ****************
Stupid excuses, like, we're married, do not justify a single room...
John ****************
@Benjamin *****
no 'parsing' tequired
Kool *******
No you can not if you are not legally married. The cost is the same whether you were to stay in the same room or not.
John ****************
@Kool ******
2 rooms doubles the cost
Kool *******
@John *******
one room with two people doubles the cost. There is no discount for sharing a room in quarantine.
John ****************
@Kool ******
defeats the purpose of a quarantine - it is not about the money
Kool *******
@John *******
again, there is no cost savings by sharing a room with your wife, or other family member. The cost is per person, not per room. Meals are provided three times a day per person. Medical testing is provided per person. Sanitary amenities are provided per person. It is not at all like checking into a hotel during regular times in the past. It does not matter whether a couple stays in separate rooms, or the same room, the cost is still per person.
John ****************
@Kool ******
try an ESL class please...your writing answers to a question or statement never made...LISTEN: Double bunking in quarantine makes no sense - nothing to do with cost.
Kool *******
@John *******
then why did you make the statement "two rooms doubles the cost"? Did you forget that statement you made that quick? That was Your answer. Try to keep your train of thought centered.
John ****************
@Kool ******
specific case, Alan - 1 person/1 room was 35K Baht; Thai wife: 2nd room, add 35K Baht. Thus,70,000 !!! Simple math.
John ****************
@Kool ******
it is not about the money - it is about safe Quarantine
Kool *******
@John *******
that is exactly why they do not let unmarried couples share a room. Married couples live in the same house under the same roof, and share the same bed, thus have been exposed, or not, to the same virus infection potential, so they can share a room. There is no guarantee unmarried couples shared the same environments, thusly one might be infected, and the other might not, but, whether they could share a room, or not, the cost is the same. Two rooms does NOT double the cost.
John ****************
@Ko**
pp, NOW, another person comment above quotes LANDMARK H as 55,000 for one ( which I know to be correct as friend inquired & the chose the Marriot, nearby, same price, but he got a 3K Baht discount as a Marriot Club member) - anyway, second person is 40K more. But, as I've justified prior, double bunking makes no sense for a true quarantine.
Kool *******
@John *******
why are you such an asshole? Now you are listing the same thing you told Simon he was wrong about. Get a life.
John ****************
@Kool ******
Wrong again .

Get a buddhist marriage , it only has to be legal in Thailand .
Chester ********
Lol you actually have to already be in thailand to get married here...

@Chester *******
Yes , its for when they arrive .

@Rob *****
if the marriage is not registered at the local Amphur it is not legal.

@Rob *****
not a legal marriage

Alex Goldie. The ASQ makes more money by having two people in one room than in separate rooms. The additional room they can let out to another customer (and there's no shortage). The rules are designed to stop people suddenly deciding they are "partners". There is no criteria to determine who are "partners" and who aren't.

David Broadfoot I know for a fact the ananatara does different prices for a married couple sharing a room. You have to ask the hotels

Yes if a Thai chooses to do ASQ rather than SQ they have to pay.
Michael *****************
@John *******
married couples ARE allowed to quarantine together in the same room in ASQ. Most hotels offer a reduced rate for the second person. My wife and I just did it.

Al from Udon was denied - no contact - no meeting in the halls - no balcony = no visual. Cell phone only.

well if Al from Udon says it, it must be right. I must have just imagined I spent two weeks in ASQ quarantine with my wife

Even if you are sharing room its not a big saving in costs. There is two sets of hospital tests this is a set fee from hospital and two sets of food etc etc. So a

While it might not seem to make sense, the fact is that Thailand has one of the lowest death rates in the world from the virus, so whatever they are doing is at least effective.

one of the lowest total case counts too, esp., with 69 million population

No unless your married
Darren *******
If you're not married then no you cannot share a room.
John ****************
@Darren ******
no matter - ,2 people = 2 rooms = Doble cost
Darren *******
@John *******
but yes, annoyingly, double the cost to the couples.
Darren *******
@John *******
and if they could have unmarried couples in same room then that 1 room would cost more than a single occupant pays and then they'd have incomings from the 2nd room.

In short, ASQ would get more money from unmarried couples being allowed go share a room.

not about the money
