Hi everyone hope you can help. Big confusion with my hotel booking now. On the government website it says all from uk must quarantine for 15 nights. But my hotel insists because I arrive before 6pm its 14 nights? I'm very confused. Who's right? Just want to be clear about this.

TLDR : Answer Summary
There is confusion regarding the quarantine duration for UK travelers arriving in Thailand. Official guidelines state that travelers must quarantine for 15 nights, but some hotels claim that if you arrive before 6 PM, the duration is only 14 nights. Travelers shared their experiences, indicating that arrival time does affect the quarantine length, with hotels typically enforcing a set duration based on check-in policies. Confirming with your specific hotel about their interpretation of the rules, alongside official guidance, is advisable.

Both COE website and my hotel say 14 nights if your flight lands before 6:00pm, and 15 nights after. Same price though I think. Lol

The hotel won’t let you leave without the clearing documents. Trust what they are saying. It really is kinda like jail for a couple weeks.
