no. They were in my checked luggage. I collected the suitcase and walked straight through. I had a letter from my doctor and 5,000 baht with me to pay the “tax” if necessary.
As there are no commercial flights coming to Thailand all he can do is stay in contact with the local Thai Embassy and wait for a repatriation flight or a cargo flight.
As far as I am aware foreigners can only stay in ASQ. The cheapest I have seen is 32,000 baht and the sky is the limit at the top end. They are adding more locations all the time. Maybe you should join the Alternative State Quarantine Facebook site.
