A friend of mine tested positive in day 5. He recoved from covid 3 weeks ago and when looking into his test results his CT is above 30, he's basically negative everywhere and positive in great Thailand. He showed the hotel his recovery certificate and asked them to tet him go, yet as usual the hotel is doing it's best to grab as much money from him , they making the process extremely slow and keep telling him BS like we're contacting the government and this takes time and all. What can he do to end this ASAP?

Update: They let him go!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their friend's experience of being held in a hotel in Thailand after testing positive on the fifth day despite having recovered from COVID-19 three weeks prior. The hotel showed reluctance to release him despite his recovery certificate, claiming they needed to contact the government, which delayed the release. Community members offered suggestions such as contacting local news in Phuket, noting such situations are common, and joining support groups for stranded expats. Eventually, the friend was allowed to leave the hotel.
