Popular Post phuketcouple 28 Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 I would like to travel again with my TH wife in November for about 6 months to my home in Thailand - as I have done for over 10 years. My house is in a hotel-resort on Phuket. We had already lived there this year in March / April in a more than 4-week 'self-chosen' quarantine. No problem, everything we needed was delivered to our door by the staff / friends. In e.g. Germany it is rather the rule that a Covid quarantine can be spent at home. Violations will be severely sanctioned. Why is this not possible in TH? We have no problem with being driven from the airport with a suitable car from a hospital directly to our house - against payment. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post jackdd 8,510 Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 Because some people don't understand what quarantine means, just one of many examples: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/11/us/miami-university-student-party-covid-trnd/index.html What are they supposed to do? IQ test before being allowed into Thailand? Quarantine at a controlled facility is more idiot proof. 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites

So now everyone has to quarantine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Lacessit 22,867 Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) This is too easy. How much money is there for home quarantine, and how much money is there in mandated quarantine? Duh. Edited September 17, 2020 by Lacessit 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post swerve 154 Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 Quarantine and self-isolation are completely different things. Bottom line is self-isolation is flawed, and people cannot be trusted. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It is simply not going to happen. There is no use thinking about it. Either accept the quarantine, or plan not to return for many months or maybe years.

Popular Post EricTh 2,908 Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) @phuketcouple It was possible in the early days for Thai people but since some of them violated the home quarantine and even stupidly videotaping themselves going out to pubs or whatever, that's why the government needed government officials to control and restrict our movements. If you home quarantine, nobody trustworthy is going to watch over you. As always, the fault of a few dumb people caused hardships for the rest. It's the same with some people who violated financial requirements for retirement and marriage extensions, causing those who are legal to be punished as well.

zzaa09 2,314 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just a hunch...... But I'm betting on the dismissal of ongoing entry protocol [mandatory 2-wk quarantine, documented test 24hrs prior, BS COVID insurance scam, etc] when they do open up the gates for everyone.
