Home » Reader question » Reader question: Experience with a Thai partner who has returned to Thailand?
Dear readers,
Does anyone have experience with the reception of his or her Thai partner who has returned to Thailand?
My girlfriend is planning to come to the Netherlands next month, but she is dreading the quarantine when she returns to Thailand. I understand that the return journey is arranged through the embassy. Her big fear is that she will be placed in a barracks somewhere outside Bangkok.
What is the accommodation in which she will be accommodated, or is it wise to book a hotel ourselves where we also look for Farang accommodation?
Maybe everything will be different when she finally returns in March next year. But all experiences so far welcome.
Regards,
Chemosabe
Dear Kamosabe,
A Thai colleague of my wife flew to Thailand 3 weeks ago.
He has been accommodated in the Asia hotel in Pattaya.
http://www.asiahotel.co.th/asia_pattaya/
Looking at their website, I think it's a very nice hotel.
He thought it was terrible though, he felt like a prisoner and was glad to be able to get out.
Yours faithfully,
Jan Willem
I went through it too. . Spent 2 weeks in a nice hotel in Bangkok. It's not much different than a luxury prison. Your food is delivered to the door and when you have finished you put the empty boxes back at the door. You are not allowed outside at all for the first 5 days. If your first PCR test is negative (day 6), you can relax at the swimming pool for half an hour or walk around under supervision. After half an hour you will be accompanied back to your room.
Food was not bad but is brought to you in plastic boxes. Drink was only water. You could opt for other drinks, but at an additional cost. Alcohol is prohibited.
After about 10 days you'll be done and you'll have seen all the menus. The last days are the most annoying, especially because you only have complete certainty that you are free after the second PCR test (day 10). You never know because if it is positive (not good) then you have not yet reached the end of your adventure. So that's still a bit stressful.
I could not open my windows, but it had good air conditioning and a good shower and bathtub. Staff super friendly and every day 2 nurses who come to check ... heart rate temperature blood pressure.
I did it to be back with my wife and family, but as a tourist I certainly wouldn't do it.
I advise everyone to definitely bring a laptop (wifi is available and fine) so that you can have fun and or occupy yourself. A few good books are also more than welcome.
Furthermore, there is also the cost. I paid 42.000 baht myself. There are slightly cheaper hotels, but they are usually full. I wouldn't take more expensive because I don't really see the point in that. My room was more than spacious enough.
It is far from a hellish ordeal, but there are nicer things in life.
Our Thai daughter-in-law showed pictures of it. The government has designated hotels where people are taken by bus from the airport. Thai people are allowed to quarantine in such a hotel for free and others pay a lot.
Hallo,
My partner has almost finished quarantine, except for 2 days.
Concerns a 3* hotel. outdated but clean.
Room is not excessively large and food varies.
It is not allowed to have food delivered, but family or friends can drop off things as long as they are not meals. Fruit etc is allowed and sweets etc
She had to get used to it, but afterwards it was doable.
If you book a hotel yourself, the question is whether everything goes according to your wishes and expectations, isn't it?
My wife and I went back to Thailand on October 1. She free state quarantine and I paid. Her hotel was in Bangkok and very nice. She happened to have a view of the sea, not everyone has that.
Everything well arranged but it remains 14 days quarantine so 14 days alone.
Sorry she was in Pattaya and I was in Bangkok.
My son (Thai) went to Thailand in July for a death. He was able to go there on a KLM flight, booked by the Thai embassy in Brussels (repatriation flight). And after 16 days of quarantine, they were taken to a 4-star hotel in Jomtien. Rooms were nice, but 16 days without going outside is not easy. Everything is arranged by the Thai embassy.
My wife left for Thailand at the end of August with a flight from the Embassy, the hotel is not too bad, nice room with balcony. Refrigerator and microwave available. Free food three times a day and you can order food and such more in 7eleven if you want something extra (subject to payment). Everything is dropped off in front of the room. You can leave the room 2 times for the Corona test. So it really isn't a barracks (it was like that at the very beginning)
It remains true that being locked up for 14 days is not pleasant..
A friend of my wife also came back to Thailand last month. From the airport she was taken to a rather nice hotel in Pattaya. She had to remain in quarantine there and on day 16 in the morning she was taken where she wanted to go in Lopburi. All free. she was and is very satisfied.
Hello, My girlfriend left for Thailand on November 11 with Qatar Air.
She first applied for a CoE at the Thai embassy, which gives an approval within 3 days
Then you must book a hotel and flight yourself within 14 days and send it to the embassy and you will receive the CoE with a stamp for approval
Then do an FtF and Corona test and take all this to Thailand
The Qatar air did not ask for papers, only in Bangkok it was checked 4 times. Corona and FtF you can arrange the hotel yourself (32.000 thb)

I assume that your wife is not Thai or that she arranged the flight herself. If she is Thai and she is flying on a repair flight arranged by the embassy, she will not have to pay for the hotel and meals.
