Popular Post Yellowtail Posted January 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I was at the "Maple" in Bangna. It was cheap (~30K).

mogandave Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yeah, the whole thing was pretty seamless. Hotel picks you up at the airport and you don’t need to do anything until you check out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stev Lam Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The best website to book ASQ hotel is from Agoda. They have a dedicated website www.agoda.com/quarantineth Agoda website list all Quarantine hotels in Bangkok and Pattaya. Choose your own by reading reviews of the hotel and some hotels offer Free cancellation policy. Good luck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth him/her/you having a browse through this group https://www.facebook.com/groups/298606387906884/. Multiple reviews, including pics and videos from people currently in/just finished quarantine, and appear to be very helpful if you have specific questions (monitored by a lot of the hotels too so info from the horses mouth as it where).

mudcat Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Stayed a the SRam Resort at the end of November, paid 40k. The room was large and had a balcony next to the pool that was a look only amenity. Food was between budget airline and bus terminal, renewed my dislike of the little chicken sausages. Only real issue was slippery floor in shower which I felt was very unsafe. Some thoughts. Pay up for size and balcony, bring extra coffee and/or tea (Nescafe and Lipton provided). Unless your family is local ignore location as you won't be going out much and you get delivered from the airport and a taxi home costs is negligible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoshark Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Depends on your mental stability. When i go away, I always treat myself to the most expensive hotel. WHY ? Even though I'm retired, I want to stay in a place that's nicer than what i already have. That being said, My condo is very high up and I face the River 2 minutes away. The Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok, Bang Rak, Bangkok- It's literally on the River and a 4-star Hotel. The 3- star Hotel 2 minutes away from the Shang is Centerpoint Hotel, Bang Rak. You won't be disappointed For 14 days TREAT yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSam Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Belaire Hotel, Sukhumvit, Bangkok. Fantastic food, very big room, great service. Rate is 55,000 baht, but I can get it discounted down to 39,000 if you want, I know the GM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easier to list what's not allowed: Although they missed the wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband off the list! Read reports of people get all sorts of things, from gym equipment to microwaves ... also reports of the above not being strictly adhered to (I know, who'd have thought!) although few and far between, I doubt many hotels want to run the risk of losing their ASQ approval.

Robin Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I am doing my ASQ in the Bazaar hotel. 44,900 for a superior room. I have no complaints about the room, larger than I expected. Meet& greet at swampy was good. I was only pax to this hotel. Food is only average, all Thai. Menus offered on booking. If iKhun wife served food like this, I would not be happy. I would prefer simple Thai food correcctly cooked.; Chicken rice, pork rice, etc. My feelings after 3 days are; 1. A room with fresh air, or balcony, would be a big plus. 2. If you have friends/family in BKK get a hotel near them. Thye can deliver stuff to the hotel for you. 3. Otherwise location does no matter as you are not able to go out until you finish ASQ 4 Try to get hotel with decent TV channels. I only have the Thai language TV. 5. If you are adicted to good coffee, bring your own (coffee bags brought from UK) Hotel has hot water, but only the normal sachet of instant. 6. For those who care about such things, I was not checked for alchol or fags on arrival. ( I am non-smoker and drink very little. 7. ASQ is NOT fun, but a neccessary eveil if you want to get into LOS. If you are thinking of leaving Thailand for any reason, DO NOT, unless you really have to. I left fro UK in July, thinking of 3 weeks holiday there while atttending to some non-urgent business. Stupidest thing I have done for years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I will say I did use the balcony more than I would have expected. Also like to open the balcony and the entrance door to get the wind blowing through the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Amara, lovely room on the 23rd floor with floor to cieling windows and good city view. It was 65K ( 45 for hotel and 20 for hospital ). It's partner hotel is Samitivej which is one of the reasons i picked it incase things went sideways. They give you a 50% off voucher when you leave valid for one year ( max 3 day stay ) but better than nothing. Room was big / interent fine / food choice and quality ok. I have to leave thailand agian in a month or two and will use it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally overpriced, it's a 3 start at best during normal times. Had to book there because I did my first round in August when every place was sold out. Paid 59000. I don't know the GM, so this review is real. My second ASQ round at Amaranth Suvarnabhumi => great, cost 55000, review earlier by another user in this thread.

You can have whatever you like sent in except alcohol, although there are ways around that. My GF sent fitness mat, dumbells, batteries for my camera, Twinings tea, teapot, tin of biscuits, honey, etc, helps with the boredom in this 5 star jail. Im out of here in the morning Yipee.

I have actually stayed in this hotel before, and it is quite good. Anyway maybe of interest to someone coming to Thailand soon. cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
