I have been in Thailand 30 days on a 30 day visa which expires on Monday, with my flight home on Monday. I have just tested positive for COVID and have travel insurance which covers changing the flight if testing positive. However my 30 day visa expires. I feel ok and do not want to go to hospital, but can't get a visa extension if I have to quarantine here. What are my options?

Hi All,

Planning on coming back to Thailand on May 2nd, land in BKK and take a flight to Krabi (different company) on the same day.

Can I do that and do my first night of quarantine in a SHA+ hotel in Krabi?

Or do I have to spend a night in BKK first?

Thanks.

Just wanted to let this group know that I’ve done my 1 day quarantine everything was professional from the Thais with checking paperwork etc please don’t fear coming to Thailand it’s well worth it it’s not all doom and gloom on the Thai pass process here’s to 2 months of relaxation take care all

For arrival in Bangkok please put both your Test&Go hotel and after "quarantine" address in the arrival card. At minimum have it ready for immigration. When I passed through BKK on the 11th of March this delayed the queue a lot. I even had to scramble and repeat myself multiple times I was not heading to a hotel...

They also have some kind of new form where you have to fill in your details and what scheme you travel on. I forgot to take a photo but basically it is formulated quite badly like your have been determined to be suspected of covid. I assumed after checking it a few times it is more meant to be phrased that they don't know until test come back or you finish your sandbox or AQ.

Looking for a bit of advice here. My mother is flying into Swampy on the 7th of April and as things stand will need an SQH hotel. After completing this she will fly down to Trang to see us. My question is...is there a recommended hotel to do the PCR test in or near the airport that isn't crazy money?

Any advice would be really helpful, thanks.

Question re insurance, anybody got quarantine in hotel if you catch COVID cover, just realised axxa don't cover this

I am a fully vaccinated person, and I'm looking for a cheaper option to stay in Thailand. I'll stay for 5 days and leave the country on the 5th day so i don't need to book a SHA++ hotel on the 5th day, right?

And, what is the difference between SHA++ hotel vs ASQ hotel?

Which one would be much cheaper for me?

Do you have any recommendations for hotels to spend 10days quarantine in Bangkok?

Alright guys, today is my last day in quarantine and things are still not settled with the insurance company.

When I called them they asked me to tell the hospitel to call them (which probably means they don't mind paying) but the hospitel staff doesn't have the patience to go through their call center waiting time or they straight up don't care because they think I'll pay them anyway but I'm not paying for this scam unless I ABSOLUTELY have to.

I'll be checking out tomorrow and will do a last attempt to call the insurance company and hand the phone to the hospitel staff and hopefully they get to an agreement.

My question is, if we couldn't get to the insurance company or they refused to pay and I too refused to pay, what's the hospitel can do to escalate things? Can they get the police involved?

They have my debit card number and expiration date but they neither have the pin number nor the CVC number. As far as I know they don't have enough information to charge my card and if they do I believe I can call my bank and restore the money. Hell, I can deactivate the card right now but I need it for my duration here.

Last question... Was anyone able to get Tune insurance to pay their hospitel quarantine?

P.S I'll keep you guys updated with what's going to happen tomorrow.

update: Called the insurance company and let them talk with the hospitel staff. Did everything I can to get them to pay but they refused as they only cover hospital quarantine.

At this point I had no choice but to pay. I told them I'll only pay the fair price as they are giving me almost triple thier price in Agoda.

They start negotiating and tell me stuff like this's a quarantine room and not a normal room, we leave it for 3 days after you leave without renting it, we pay the government!!

I insist on paying the fair price, they threaten to call the police and I say go ahead. They didn't call it tho and came back to negotiate again.

At the end I paid the fair price plus 200 usd. I believe I I could have saved those 200 but I was so sick of this BS after 3 hours arguing with the insurance company and the hospitel staff and it's not a big deal after all.
