Posts: 2Hello,
Wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to find non-local talent in BKK these days, and if so, where one might do so.

Quarantine requirements.
All travellers to Thailand, are required to complete 14 days quarantine at a State Quarantine or Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) facility.
If you test positive whilst in ASQ:
You and anybody travelling with you will automatically be transferred to hospital and held in isolation.
You will be required to remain in hospital for 14 days, even if you have a negative test.
If you test positive you will be required to provide 2 negative tests, 5 days apart, before being considered for release.
If you still test positive after 14 days, the hospital may consider further quarantine either in hospital or self-isolating at home.

All covid insurance should cover you in any case but seems some insurance company will try to not paid your bill if you are positive asymptomatic.
15 nights in quarantine are very hard IMHO but the real nightmare is if you are tested false positive or you positive asymptomatic.

Posts: 113Just wondering is there a treatment for positive covid test but are asymptomatic?
I have heard false positive test are getting more frequent. The r -pcr test depends on how many times sample is amplified. The tester decides, politics come into play. If you test positive in quarantine, you go to a hospital if asymptomatic? Then you get a treatment or not in Bangkok?

And yes, it still baffles me how many folks think Quarantine is like staying in a normal hotel. It's not, you stay in your room and that's it. No visitors and no going outside.
Great post BTW.

Some hotels allowed you to order food delivered after your first test (but I think not all hotels allowed this), or you can have some relatives / friends that bring to you some food and the hotel staff will bring up to your room (but again not all hotel seems to have the same rules and some hotels don't allowed fresh food in the room from your friends / relatives).
Usually hotels have thai and western menu, anyway if you check the link I posted you will see alot of food's pics.
I read good reviews about Best Bella in Pattaya, here their menu: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...JmMXZZZjlBQ0tn
My biggest concern is whether you test positive or postivie asymptomatic during quarantine. Read here: " I'the like to share my story for anyone who wants to know what happens if you test positive in asq.
I had my first covid test in lohas hotel on day 5, results are normally given the next day but not for me which made me a bit nervous, day 7 at 12:30 the hotel phone rang and straight away I new what was coming.
Lady on the phone said your result is positive and now you have to pack your bag and a van will take you to hospital at 1300, I expected disease control at the door in hazmat suits but it was the same Porter who showed me to my room on the first day, down to the waiting mini van and off to Bangkok9 international hospital.
Greeted with big Thai smiles at the hospital I was escorted to a private room very similar to the hotel room but with a hospital beg that I couldn't sleep on so slept on the sofa.
Nurse gave me paperwork to sign agreeing to treatment and took a blood sample and a copy of my insurance, I asked what exactly will happen and with very little English she said have to talk with the doctor.
So now I have no idea how long I will be here and how much it will cost me, the ward has a line group but I didn't get any answers on that.
Day 3 in the hospital the doctor called me and said my blood results confirm covid19 and asked about my condition, she said I will have to take another re-pcr test in 1 week to be discharged.
After doing a bit of research and reading Thailand's protocol for treating covid patients I should not have another test if I stay in hospital untill 10 days after my first test and don't have any symptoms for 48 hours but this just fell on deaf ears and they insisted I have a test again.
A doctor from acs insurance company called me and asked if I had any symptoms I confirmed I did and he said they will pay direct to the hospital even on Christmas Day.
On Christmas Eve I had the pcr test at 0830 and that was the longest day I've ever had waiting for the result untill 2100 which came back as negative, so on Christmas Day I was told as soon as the insurance company give an agreement to pay the 105,000 b bill I can go, at 1330 everything was completed and I was free to leave.
Spoke with lohas hotel and they said they couldn't refund any monies for the hotel booking as they can't sell the room again which I completely understand but they are willing to refund half the hospitals fee to them which is 7000 b so I'm happy with that.
So I left the hospital on the same day I would have finished asq and ACS Global Insurance gave a speedy service but just be aware if I didn't have any symptoms they wouldn't have covered it. ".

Many bloggers blog about the whole experience. From paperwork to actual stay in Hotel.
Some of those Hotels are top quality. Of course you are paying.
After a few days they do let you go outside. Usually pool area.

I'm the type of guy who needs a walk in fresh air daily whether it be -40 F/C in Finland or 50 C in Vegas.

Now STV, SETV and 30/45 days visa waiver are available. STV for my country have rigid and absurd rules, more easy to ask for SETV.

Posts: 27It would be anticlimactic if he WAS actually looking for escorts during quarantine

Having said that I will move onto the next part that Banana Boi asked.
I'm living in Germany and have been told by the Thai embassy here that I don't need a visa to enter. (45 days + online extension if needed) I need to fill in the certificate of entry.
I haven't managed to finalize either the flight (Thai airways just announced a good package to. Travel from here accommodation included).
I'm currently looking at the alternative state quarantine hotels and will most probably take a holiday Inn express or something similar at 35 K all inclusive for 16 days and then switch to a different floor (non quarantined) before inmove to Phuket.
Any questions hit me up. It's a bit expensive but I've been working from home for 6 months now and might as well move to Thailand and work from there for a month or two and let loose a bit after a crap year in Germany.
Cheers.
