Posts: 6315You are only allowed to bring 30 face masks with you in to Thailand. 50 if you have a medical note.

That means if I stay 60 days I have to use my N95 masks 2 days in a row. Pretty sure that isn't helping contamination in Thailand. Are they actually selling 3M N95 masks in Thailand now? Not interested in China KN95.

1) You can choose the hospital / hospitel to admit to. After your admission is confirm, you can no longer choose.
2) I was made to stay in the hospitel for 10 days. I admitted around 11 pm on day 1. 1 hour after I admitted is already day 2. On day 10 you don't get to leave like right after midnight of day 9. Ask the hospital / hospitel for discharge timing. Some of my friends got quarantined for up to 14 days, so the quarantine period may differ according to hospitals. But health ministry's advice is a minimum of 10 days. More serious symptoms have to stay longer in hospital of course, at least till you are no longer in danger.
3) The day I move to the hospitel was the last day of my hotel booking. So this question is not applicable for me.
4) I got my insurance from a Thai insurer. You may want to enquire about their insurer hospital list and choose from there which one to admit into. They have a system link with the insurer and claims will be made by the hospital on your behalf. You probably need to pay a deposit to get admitted first, usually range 100 k-250 k baht. After you get discharged, they will show you the bill and say how much is claimable form insurer and how much is not. They will refund your deposit amount less the amounts which are not claimable. My non claimable portion was about 4200 baht. Total bill turned out to be somewhere around 87 k baht (claim 83 k from insurer).

(3) Do you still need to pay for your original hotel while you are in a quarantine hotel? (4) Did your mandatory insurance pay for everything (hotel? hospital? transportation? food?)?
This information has been hard for me to find. Thanks for any insight that you can provide.

Test on day 5 was easy as well. Went to my predetermined testing location, got swabbed and result was back again in 12 hours.
My experience in Thailand is that paid for tests get given priority over say free tests administered by government. I have taken probably a dozen PCR tests in Thailand, all paid for and all back in 12 hours or less despite the standard disclaimer of 24 to 48 hours.
The good thing about Phuket is that you have to book the tests through another website. So hotels do not get involved.

My bigger concern is hotels in resort areas. Specifically 2 hotels in Samui and 1 in Hua Hin have their own requirements to demonstrate negative PCR test results within 72 hours of checking in at their hotels. I'm still looking for hotels in those areas without that requirement. Informal backchannel information with another poster confirms this concept, but indicates this is seldom done on Phuket. I may find myself spending more time on Phuket than ideal.

New numbers out for Phuket Sandbox. 2% testing positive on arrival, 5% on day 5 PCR test. So out of 2800 arrivals per day 196 people will be hospitalized before 7 day Sandbox is completed. Thailand investigating a high proportion of tourists from Russia who are testing positive on arrival.

On a related note, it is my plan to wear N95 mask while in airports and other places when close to people. I'll continue that process for about the first 3-4 days. I doubt the day 5 PCR test will be positive after a day 4 exposure.

Posts: 3354I am traveling with a Thai lady outside Thailand, and will do Test and Go with her when I return. After we are released, I will go back to my condo, when I am not going to have much contact with anyone. My Thai lady friend will go back with her husband and live in party central.
On Day 5, I will test with her again. The question is what happens if she is positive and I am negative?
