MRToMRT Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Must admit 4 is not many. BUT the original article says 70 in the process for a total of 5000 rooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Those are fairly cheap hotels, about 3000/baht a night. That might add up to about 50,000 Baht for the quarantine period, with tests etc included.

torturedsole Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The brown envelopes are probably delayed due to cashflow but should be good to go within a few days once the renegotiation is settled. Lot's of smiling faces once settled, but not sure there's a lot to smile about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammieuk1 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Prepare all you like at these prices try offering it for free to attract customers willing to be poked prodded and locked up for a fortnight ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 How about a couple of those hotels in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya or Jomtien Beach, etc. I believe that most International travellers want a choice of where they have to be quarantined for their first 2 weeks in the country. Any news about this situation? Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Some one remind me when are they going to open Phukey to foreign tourists. 4 hotels with say 80 rooms apiece that's 320 Amazing Thailand tourists, locked into hotels, not spending money in the economy.

I don't know about all the extras, but back in the day, you could get a not-so-cutie short time girl for 30 Baht or so. 2520 was a good year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny rate? Im proud to say I have lots of time on my hands to score cuties for free.....I enjoy the challenge as paying for it just ruins the exp for me.......please look into the extras before I book your ASQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious how much the over charges will be for testing, extra cleaning, brown envelopes, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, forgot the 10,000 for the taxi from the airport. 150k all in sounds about right. Readily available in BKK for 50k. How many little hotels in Phuket have exterior access? They would be perfect for this. With the right hotels you could easily do this for 30k and they would be happy for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
