yea there’s at least a little bit of sense or reason to the policy so I didn’t question it, just said thank you and left.

@Micah *******

I was free to venture out….but you just couldn’t return

And no one seems to have a did I notice answer or source for it being a rule or a hotel policy, which if it is then multiple hotels are using it.

@David ***

yea I know what it means, mine was exactly the same. After doing 15 nights last year you wouldn’t think one night would be so bad, but after sleeping all day I said fuck it and checked out. Went out for a nice dinner and got a couple errands done.

Now to just see what happens with some of restrictions.

@Stuart ********

i checked in with someone else, walked to my own room in what was clearly an area where other people were in the test and go, just didn’t seem that strange to me that being a “quarantine program” that coming and going, even after your test result might not make that much sense.

It definitely wasn’t anywhere near the same level of caution as coming in last year for the full 2 weeks

@Stuart ********

he said, I can’t leave my room til tomorrow “unless I’m checking out”

You can’t leave your quarantine hotel and come back after dinner and stay in the vicinity of people waiting for test results

My hotel told me the same thing when I got my test back at 6pm, so I checked out

@Maya ******

a lot more then last year that’s for sure, my plane was empty last year and packed this year.

The test and go is a massive upgrade, but still plenty of extra costs and paperwork

Also getting rid of that “fit to fly” crap

@Maya ******

I think adopting more normalized Covid precautions is entirely reasonable, and not the mess thailand makes it out to be.

But also I plan to take full advantage of less tourists, many people who have been coming for 15+ years say Covid Thailand is like a time travel for a (hopefully) once in a lifetime opportunity

Not too surprising….but the extra plus probably still going to be confusing for some people, should have just given a separate name….but Thailand 🤷‍♂️

That website isn’t the government site and your friend should just go on his embassy page for the specifics

Likely he’s not coming from a “safe” country which have stricter entry requirements

it’s thailand, I don’t expect anything to make sense but thank you. I’m sure there will be a way, for a price. It’s the Thai way
