We had a medical exemption bc we are covid recovered. However, the Berkeley hotel manager wouldn’t accept the medical exception and forced us all to take another PCR and while we were all negative back home, they are saying my husband is positive and needs to to go a hotel.
Help.
Updated:
I had emailed the Bangkok hotel our recovery forms, our positive results and 2 negative PCRs from California before from we left home. I had given him and emailed him a copy of all the Thai government screenshots.
He confiscated my recovery certificate, called the police, there was a warrant against us, police raided our hotel in Chiang Mai.
I have attached my emails to the embassy below.
As you can see, the Bangkok police were never told about my recovery certificate.
I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding.
Please have multiple copies of all your papers.
I hope this helps someone avoid confusion and stress.
Absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED Thailand and especially the kind, polite and respect Thai people. The culture is wonderful. We extended our trip and had a wonderful time.
Can’t wait to go back soon.@[1600831506671146:11809:]
TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat family faced difficulties upon arrival in Thailand when the hotel manager refused to accept their COVID-19 recovery documentation. The husband's positive test result led to police involvement and confusion over quarantine requirements. The family had presented recovery and negative test documents, yet faced challenges with local health authorities. They advised future travelers to maintain multiple copies of essential documents to avoid similar issues and reflected positively on their overall experience in Thailand.
