Photo: Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET: People arriving in Phuket placed under a mandatory 14-day quarantine are allowed to roam the hotel where they are staying, and are not confined to their room, the Phuket health chief has confirmed. However, there will be harsh penalties for any people under quarantine found outside their hotel area, Dr Thanit Sermkaew, Chief of the Phuket Provincial Public Health Office (PPHO), told The Phuket News today (Jan 13). Under the provincial order issued by Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew last Saturday (Jan 9), all people arriving in Phuket from the ‘highest-risk’ provinces must quarantine for 14 days at an Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) hotel or other appropriate venue after arriving in Phuket.

(from the link above) The same guy [Dr Thanit] said: "Please do not go outside the hotel. That would be a good preventative measure in Phuket province," he added. What a pathetic statement. "Harsh penalties", followed by "please". No physical enforcement means people will do what they like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that may backfire as local tourists and staycationers (myself included) will avoid these ASQ hotels like the plague. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 'allowed to roam (ASQ) hotel where they are staying' Not as liberal as those staying at ASQ golf resorts where it seems the only restriction is not leaving the property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
