Puwa Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Just saw this on cm108.com The governor has ordered that all foreigners entering Chiang Mai must enter a 14 day quarantine. If you have your own residence, you can do it at home. If not, it is suggested that there will be mandatory quarantine locations specified. The same rules apply to Thais entering from high-risk locations. All must inform local health authorities or local officials for monitoring. So this applies, for example, to those who have left Chiang Mai for the burning season, even if they haven't exited the country. https://www.cm108.com/w/25204/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post drbeach Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 When will this madness end? Governments going on a power trip. Anyway, stay home. Don't travel. At least not this month. If you must travel, it should be to your home country only. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was the mandatory BS application they forced her to do and download at Suvarnabhumi giving them all her details and they said they will contact the relevant authorities to come check her out at my house. So this is just F n great! She has a mandatory 14 day quarantine in my house and they gonna come check and then as dominos fall make all of us stay quarantined. I am a little fuming right now she did not tell me that was happening as I would have refused her to come home here as she could have just stayed home with our other family members in BKK. So there you have it. On the other side love to have her home and the down side is there is nothing I can do now. This has supposedly been in effect for a week or so and not just now, but enforced from Bangkok and not CM. Time for a glass of scotch!

HungDonger Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 So....My Thai wife and I have spent the last month in the clear air down south in a non 'high risk' region. When we drive home to Chiang Mai I need to self-quarantine for 14 days and she is free to roam as she pleases !! Thai logic at it's best. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the same situation, having fled the burning season a few weeks ago, before things took a turn for the worse. We were going to stay here in our non-high-risk seaside province until late April, but have decided to go back to Chiang Mai next week, while the getting is still good, concerned that highway travel may be curtailed in the future. If you're driving back, take note that the new rule is that you must wear a mask at all times, even in your own vehicle, or risk a 20k baht fine. Absolute rollicking thunderstorm underway here at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Do they have road blocks set up around the city like they did in 2014? Are they tagging white expats and escorting them to their residence and locking the door? I live in Lamphun but have family living in Chiang Mai. I really wonder how far they want to put the racism. Farang = Covid Carrier. Looks like Mae Hong Song just went that direction. I'm thinking it's only going to take a little push and expats living here will wake up one morning to find they they are being herded into trucks and moved to internment camps to wait out the War On Coronavirus. Where have we seen this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you source that. Not being cheeky but I'd like to know where you read that all drivers must wear masks in their cars. I drive highway 11 a lot, and I don't see anything like that. People aren't wearing masks in their cars. But I know where they set up road blocks, so if true, we'll don them before the check points. If true it's simply a ludicrous example of authoritarian over-reach bordering on utter stupidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
