You are in love or not. I love my gf, she is Philippine and I suffered almost a year being separated. I you know how to love someone, this is not a very smart remark. The OP loves his partner, then no one can replace her.

if you have booked a hotel already, you can inquire them already. Sam, had to go with car directly to my house, near Pattaya. So no contact with anyone after quarantine. If you take plane, things could be different. I hope all goes well as local airport here is closed.

Normally hotel should take care of papers for interprovencial travel.

I know my gf 10 years. She is living with me. But she went home at the wrong moment, because her father was dying of cancer and could not get back. If you find a serious Thai woman, I am happy for you. If she has a serious job, she is one of the few. I know a lot guys who came to Thailand and now are very sad. Either they live with an easy girl, who just improve their lives, either they are alone, as contact, certainly pas 60 is very hard with a more serious woman. Then if they are available to you, they do have most of the time children. We do not have together. In general, communication is more easy with Philippine women too. And even younger one's not mind being with an older man, and are sometimes even proud of the attention. I fooled around a lot when I was younger, with Thai girls, and they are mostly fine for that, if you are on holiday in popular places. But when meeting Philippine girls, it is another world, other kind of relation. WHich again, not mean, you could not find a pearl in Thailand...

What happens, if you book a quarantaine hotel in Bangkok and after the quarantaine, you need to go to your destination, out of Province, in the case of my girl-friend, Pattaya? Will be the leech of the house, with ehr name on it, and the papers provide by the hotel be enough, or is she stuck in Bangkok? She comes out of quarantine in 6 days, we are very nervous.

Ok. It is not always easy. But you messed up. My gf, Philippine, made it, organising this in 3 weeks. Yes it is very stressful. But even more, when you are Filippina. Because you have local immigration to deal with. I had to do more then you. I live in Thailand, had to go to Phil embassy, because she not had enough money in account. So also needed 2 affidavit of support, one for Embassy, one for Philippine immigration. On top of that a CFO certificate to be obtained, to get proof, required now, to proof she is my gf. It was close stressful. Because mostly, the covid test, and fit to fly , cannot be obtained in Philippines, just going to the hospital. You need first to have a complex registration on line there for both! They not gove you that fit to fly with with your covid test. Some in hospital said they would , other said not, and it was the last option, of course. And after covid test result, we had a few hours to obtain it,as again, walk in, in hospital was impossible.. But I managed. I got all. The Coe, you had to register on line. Upload all papers. And once they had visa (ridiculous, you had to upload it, as they issued this themselves)the COE, was send by mail. I would not even think about it doing my winter holiday like this. I skip. But it was the only way to get my gf, back with me, after 10 long months and I was better informed as you, which made the difference.

Swab test in st Luke on appointement on their website. We went to the Global one. I say this, because many hospitals are not open for this on a Sunday, if ever she leaves on a Tuesday or Wednesday.....
