    The Nightmare of Testing Positive on Arrival in Thailand

    a cautionary tale about a couple of unfortunate tourists who returned to thailand last week and got caught up a nightmare clusterfuck of overkill, expense and uncertainty as they were suddenly quarantined and one of them made to undergo treatment in hospital. it was posted on richard barrows twitter account and unusual in that richard barrow rarely posts anything that reflects negatively on thailand.


    Today’s special newsletter is about the nightmare that falls upon you if you test positive on arrival in Thailand.

    This is what happened to Kirovs, a tourist who came to Thailand with his family. He is now in hospital and his family are in hotel quarantine.

    The second story is from James who is considered a close contact as he was in the same car from the airport as someone who tested positive. Neither of the people who tested positive have any symptoms and they are now desperately trying to find out if their insurance will cover the large hospital bill.

    Story 1: Testing Positive.

    The first story is about a family of four who came to Thailand for a 13-day holiday. Kirovs, the father, tested positive and was sent to a hospital for ten days. The mother and the two children, aged two and four, are close contacts and so were told to stay in the quarantine hotel.

    He believes they will have to do another test on day 3 or 4 and if they test negative, then they might be able to go.

    But they would have to go without him as he is expecting to stay in hospital for at least ten days. He doesn’t have any symptoms and he is really hoping his insurance will cover the cost. He thinks it will cost him around 350,000 baht which is the hospital and quarantine hotel fees.

    "A Family of Four's Nightmare"

    We arrived in Bangkok early in the morning on 7th of November, did our RT-PCR tests at the hotel at around 10:00 a.m. and spent a day in our hotel room very excited about our upcoming adventures – I was searching for hotel deals for the next couple of days in Bangkok. As I wanted peace of mind, I had brought some ATK test kits in my luggage. I did a test for myself, and my wife did one, both were negative. So, we told our kids that this day will be tough, but the next ones will be great.

    We went to bed early. At around 9:00 p.m. a phone call woke me up. At first, I understood that everything is alright, but it turned out that the hotel receptionist was only talking about my wife and my kids. She finished the sentence by saying my results detected Covid and we must go to the hospital in different cars.

    Then there were a lot of questions from us and a lot of – I will call you backs from hotel management. During that night, they updated or changed the information every hour or so. Probably it was also a new thing for them, and they were forwarding my questions to the hospital.

    As I was feeling very healthy, I was also afraid that the result is a false positive and I might get infected in the hospital. I did not understand – which hospital will they take me to, how much it is going to cost and what will happen with my family, when will they be allowed to leave the room? I made some desperate attempts to ask for a second test in the morning, but it was not an option.

    That night was terrible, we could not sleep, kids woke up at 1:00 a.m. because of jet lag and we realised that not only our holiday was ruined, but the next days are going to be terrible for all of us and this experience might cost us much more than the hotels I was searching earlier that day. I wanted to hug my wife and kids to say sorry, but I am afraid to do it, because I’m covid positive.

    Next morning, I got transferred to the hospital– in an ambulance, with sirens on. Only thing that I knew about this hospital was that it has 2.7 stars in Google reviews so I was afraid to go there. The nurse was very nice and friendly, she was the only English speaking person I met there that morning.

    When I entered the hospital, I was hoping that somebody will check me and recognize that there are no threats to my health. They took my blood and left a catheter in my arm, measured my temperature and blood pressure. Later that day, another nurse came and took an x-ray of my chest.

    Otherwise, they were mostly talking about my insurance and possible payments, and filling various hospital forms in Thai. I was shown 300,000 on a phone as medical expenses. I told them that I need to think about this and call my insurance company. Later I got presented another sheet of paper which shows that I must pay for my room and other daily services (written in Thai) 5,900 baht/day.

    And then finally a doctor called me, that conversation was very hard to follow – as he did not speak English, but he was talking to somebody else (maybe somebody who did help with translation) for several minutes and then every 2 minutes he told me a couple of fast sentences in English. I mostly just tried to ask for some clarification and tried to reformulate my questions, but what I think he told me was that as I am in quarantine, he is not going to see me in person, but I must take antiviral pills because otherwise my lungs are in danger. These pills, also, will cost about 10,000- to 15,000 baht.

    While I was writing this summary, a nice women came in who spoke good English, I got some clarification about why they want me to drink antiviral pills (because my weight is more than 90kg which is classified as risk category in Thailand) but I finally managed to arrange another RT-PCR test. I told them that I will be happy to pay for that. Not sure if it will give any improvements to my situation, but I had to try that.

    Hospital staff is friendly, but overall felling is very depressing, with all the absence of information and smothering with bills and inability to meet family or go outside.

    Insurance is supposed to cover most of it, but I cannot feel sure about that until it is officially approved.

    I cannot get away from the feeling that I let my children down by dragging them on this adventure, flying 11 hours just to get locked in a hotel room. I knew that I was taking a gamble when I chose to buy airplane tickets as soon as the Thailand reopening was announced. But I thought that we will play it safe and chances will be super small. We lost that bet.

    Story 2: Tested Negative but is a Close Contact.

    This second story is by James. Shortly before midnight, the hotel texted him to give him his test results:
    “The covid test you are negative but you can’t leave here because your friend covid test result positive. You quarantine this here 14 day.”

    The reason they gave him was because they came to the hotel in the same car. This is his story.

    "Two Companions Travelling Together"

    I travelled from England on the 6th of November and arrived in Thailand at 12:40 p.m. on the 7th of November. My reason for travel is to be with my wife and I travelled with a friend who was due to go his own way to see his girlfriend.

    Upon arriving at the hotel, we both were tested at 2:30 p.m. and sent to our separate rooms. At midnight we both received a message. His said that he had tested positive and will be transferred to hospital, and mine said that mine is negative, but I’d need to stay in quarantine for 14 days.

    No other information was given to us, no messages answered so we were just left waiting. At 7:00 p.m. on the 8th, the ambulance finally arrived, and he was transferred to hospital where he remains. He is still waiting for the doctor to come to see him and I’m just a sitting duck in my room where my hotel won’t even provide me with tea bags after asking for over 1 day.

    I don’t know whether I’m going to get another PCR test done or if I’m just expected to stay for the 14 days. None of us have any symptoms of Covid-19 and upon arriving at the hospital, my friend’s temperature was checked and is normal.

    It’s a strange situation to be in having travelled to Thailand multiple times during the pandemic with no previous issues.

    The Gamble of Going to Thailand


    So, how much of a gamble is it to come to Thailand at this time? Well, if the statistics are anything to go by, you will have to be extremely unlucky to test positive.

    Particularly if you are fully vaccinated and coming in on the Test & go program.

    Between 1-8 November, out of the 15,763 people who landed at Survanabhumi airport to take part in Test & Go, only eleven people, or 0.07%, tested positive. Nationally for all airports and all programs including quarantine, 26 people out of 24,905 arrivals tested positive which is 0.10%. Of course, this doesn’t mentioned the number of people who are considered to be high risk close contacts.

    These could be people sitting next to an infected person on the flight or someone who shared the same hotel transfer vehicle.

    The common theme of these two stories is the lack of communication about what is going and what will happen next. The Tourism Authority of Thailand is promoting Thailand as a wonderful and safe tourist destination.

    But once people arrive here and they face a situation such as this, then they are basically left to fend for themselves. The same happened when quarantine was changed from 14 days to 7 days. There was no communication at all about what would happen to people who arrived that day. Even the hotels were giving different stories.

    When you invite someone to be a guest in your country, the right thing to do is to inquire if they need any help if things go wrong.

    In the case of Kirovs, he was told that his family will probably only need to quarantine for a further 3-4 days and then do another test. If they tested negative, then they could go. In James’s case, they told him he must quarantine for 14 days which I haven’t heard about before. Usually it is ten days quarantine and more recently you were given an option to test again so you can be released earlier. He said his hotel is not answering his questions about this. I know the odds are low of this happening to you, but it was at the back of my mind when I was flying into Thailand last week. I had to wait 28 hours before I got my test results.

    Yep that is the main worry for me as well. I am going to be super cautious the days before I travel and seriously thinking about upgrading to business if I have to sit next to someone on the plane. I have written confirmation that I am not sharing the taxi with anyone from the airport to the hotel.

    call me a dyed in the wool cynic if you must, but with thai hotels desperate for income and secure in the knowledge that most bills will be settled by the insurance companies that are by law providing covid specific policies to all inbound tourists it is a win win situation for the hotels to keep their "guests" just a little bit longer and for thai hospitals to pad their "farang price" bills as much as possible.

    Why I am taking lots of lateral flow tests to challenge any Somchai shady business. Mr Kirov's experience sounded more like a shakedown to me.

    I reckon at this point, if you don’t have the spare time or spare cash to get stuck, don’t travel. It can happen in many places.

    Few have tested positive on arrival. Something like 0.09%.

    But fuck that shit about sharing a taxi, not happening.

    State Department just sent this Travel Advisory for Thailand.



    Reconsider travel to Thailand due to COVID-19. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

    Read the Department of State's COVID-19 page before you plan any international travel.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 3 Travel Health Notice for Thailand due to COVID-19, indicating a high level of COVID-19 in the country. Your risk of contracting COVID-19 and developing severe symptoms may be lower if you are fully vaccinated with an FDA authorized vaccine. Before planning any international travel, please review the CDC's specific recommendations for vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers.

    Visit the Embassy's COVID-19 page for more information on COVID-19 and related restrictions and conditions in Thailand.




    Of course it goes into the usual thing about not going to Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and Songkla.

    My brother and his hubby are in Greece right now. We have our fingers crossed they will pass the covid test to be able to get on a flight back to the USA tomorrow.

    Firstly turning your CAPS LOCK off would be great for my sanity, cheers

    1. No need, if you book a hotel you should get a private limousine, I am just being cautious and want it in writing. I have already been told that I have a 'private' limousine. The guy was also traveling with his friend and not some random punter.

    2. Doubtful these are AQ or SHA+

    3. I did but am as of 30mins ago again asking for clarification if I have asymptomatic cover, I am pretty sure I do but just double checking. I am insured by AXA by the way. 90 days for about 6200baht 50KUS$ coverage.

    4. I totally agree. In the case of the family, wow what a total cluster fuck and I can't imagine many risking their children's happiness just to go to Thailand, Thailand isn't going anywhere, don't worry.

    5. I agree but even then who the fuck wants to spend possibly 14days of your 32days per year holiday allowance in a fucking hospital constantly having Q tips jammed up your families noses. Fuck that

    6. 5555555 Indeed

    I was due to fly out of PNG today - I did a PCR test on sunday morning and I was informed during the afternoon I was positive that I should return to my camp room and isolate for 10 days - they sent a bus to pick me up and told me to inform my close contacts they also needed to go and get tested - because I was also on the bus and taken to a testing site I took the opportunity to take another test which I was not supposed to do

    I am double vaxxed and had no symptoms and could not tell that I was sick

    after a whole day on monday asking for the results of my second test finally on tuesday morning with the help of some more senior people it was relayed to me that my second test was negative and they were going to issue a certificate for me to fly.

    then some arguments began with a couple of doctors and management saying that the procedure for anyone who receives a positive result must isolate for 10 days regardless of the second negative test saying that if I tested positive at Port Moresby airport , I would then be required to quarantine for 14 days

    I chose a doctor out of the CC list after looking them all up on linkedin , who I thought had the most expertise in dealing with covid and I sent him an email and asked what the results of my tests indicate to him.

    he said that it meant I had covid but because I was double vaxxed I had no symptoms and my body quickly cleared the virus from my system , though there was a risk that virus particles still lingered and they could be picked up by a PCR test at the airport before I boarded my flight to Brisbane.

    after some discussions it was decided that I would get retested on friday and if that is negative then I would be cleared to fly on saturday

    I post this information as it may hold some relevance to the situations people might encounter in the coming months as they look to travel internationally.

    I am keen to get out of PNG right now as I can see a disaster on the horizon as delta sweeps though a country that is less than 2% vaccinated and has minimal medical infrastructure - this low vaccination rate has its beginnings in yerman protestant missionarys and colonial rule by yermans and australians - the common themes of the anti vax discourse rotate around the white man vax to kill off the blackman and the 666 mark of the beast which comes with your vaccine

    Thanks for that mate. I am pretty no matter what I do or say, it I test positive on day 1 I'm looking at a 10 stretch at least. It is what it is.

    What a nightmare!! sorry to hear of your ordeal . I hope you make it out of there safe and soon.
    We were thinking of going to Greece in the next month of so to take care of some personal business, and to get a booster shot , but I have been reading so many stories such as yours, or not being able to get $50k med insurance because of age and or preexisting conditions, and of course the problems associated with Thai Pass, I think I will wait until this spring , as we had originally decided. By then things should have settled down. I hope!!
    Thank you for sharing and have a good trip.
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    TOURISTS RETURNING TO THAILAND STRUGGLE WITH NEW TRAVEL SYSTEM.


    From a tricky digital travel pass to the reality of hotel quarantine, some have found the system hard to navigate

    Lucy Thackray
    18 hours ago

    Just over a week after Thailand began a phased reopening to tourists, some international visitors are struggling to conquer the travel admin involved.

    The country announced on 22 October that it would open to tourists from 46 countries on 1 November, starting initially with fully vaccinated travellers who apply for entry through the Thailand Pass.

    In what sounded like a relatively simple system, arrivals must show a negative PCR test result before and after flying to the country, take one further test on arrival, self-isolate for one night in a hotel while the results are turned around, and - assuming the result is negative - may then freely continue their travels.

    But online forums, Facebook groups and frustrated tweets tell a different story.

    First, travellers to Thailand must store their proof of vaccination, passport info, health insurance document, hotel and flight bookings in the Thailand Pass, a one-stop digital system that the country brought in to replace its lengthy Certificate of Entry (CoE) process.


    Once the criteria are met, the Pass generates a QR code that is scanned upon entry to the country.

    However, in its first week, the Pass was so fraught with glitches and unresolved user questions that it made headlines across the country.

    “Thai officials are working to fix and improve the Thailand Pass entry system for incoming passengers by air following a growing number of complaints during the week as users encountered bugs and difficulties in using the system and getting the appropriate approval in time to meet flights and bookings,” reported the Thai Examiner on Sunday.

    Meanwhile, the Bangkok Post reported on “complaints by some tourists that they had either experienced delays in receiving QR codes or in some cases had not received them at all, following the approval of their travel applications.”

    Travellers on Facebook group Thailand Reopening reported issues ranging from never receiving a QR code despite multiple applications; the system requiring upload of a one-page insurance document when most policies are several pages long; and being rejected for including a middle name not displayed on their NHS Covid Pass.

    Users of the system also reported challenges chasing up their applications once submitted, with no clear communications centre behind the digital system.

    “Just sent our 10th request for the Thailand Pass, departure in 10 days (SF-Bangkok) - more than €1,200 already committed in this trip, starting to become crazy!,” tweeted Paris-based Lucie Hardy, tagging Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    “My Dad finally received his QR code from Thailand Pass about 24 hours before his flight. We got there in the end but was a stressful experience,” tweeted James Goyder.

    For UK-based travel writer Lucie Grace, however, who applied last Wednesday, the Thai Pass worked like a charm.

    “Lots of people are getting in a flap about the Thailand pass, but mine did what it said on the tin,” she told The Independent ahead of a trip to Chiang Mai this week.

    “I applied on 3 November, received it on 7 November and I’ll fly on 10 November. No complaints from me.”

    She did identify one technical faff which could cause problems for less digitally confident travellers.

    “It only accepts jpeg files of all your documents, which were emailed as pdfs, so I had to run everything through a converter. That could be challenging for some people.”

    Meanwhile, some tourists have fallen foul of Thailand’s testing-on-arrival policy, with families forced into hotel quarantine when they tested positive.

    Thailand-based journalist Richard Barrow published a newsletter earlier today about the consequences of testing positive while in the country, citing the case of a father separated from his family when he tested positive on arrival.

    The man estimates that he will have to pay 350,000 Thai Baht (£7,882) towards hospital and quarantine fees if his insurance provider won’t cover it - and his wife and children may have to fly home without him as he will still be in isolation.

    “I knew that I was taking a gamble when I chose to buy plane tickets as soon as the Thailand reopening was announced,” the father told Barrow.

    “We lost that bet.”

    Another man, James, interviewed by Barrow tested negative, but the friend he shared a car from the airport with tested positive, so he has found himself stuck in hotel quarantine regardless.

    With this in mind, as her trip approaches, Lucie Grace remains anxious about the possibility of testing positive.

    “My biggest concern is that I test positive on arrival. I’m doing the ‘test and go’ scheme - one night in a quarantine hotel and a PCR test. If I test positive but am asymptomatic, it’s a grey area as to whether the mandatory health insurance covers the expensive 14-day hospital stay,” she says.


    “Some horror stories are coming out of £7k hospital bills, insurance companies saying ‘You’re not sick so it’s not covered’. That is my nightmare.”
    First tourists back to Thailand struggle with reopening rules and paperwork | The Independent
    we will wait to travel until either the thailand pass system has been tweaked and proven to be working properly or until restrictions ease considerably. we were initially hoping to return before xmas, but now we are planning a return in march or april. that will have meant a 2 year stay in the uk which in spite of all the events over the past couple of years has not been a hardship at all, in fact it has made both of us appreciate this country, its landscapes, its people and its systems even more and i havent missed life in thailand at all and the thought of all the uncertainties and hoop jumping necessary to return is off-putting to say the least. a majority of the expats we know that left thailand at the start of the covid saga feel the same and are not prepared to risk a trip that may be spoiled by further sudden lockdowns, restrictions on entertainment or forcible incarceration due to the inaccuracies of a illegal and cheaply priced testing kit possibly sourced from an unlicensed facility in khlong toey operated under the patronage of an bemedalled army general on the make.

    Tax I don't usually have much time for defending the Bureaucratic nightmares in Thailand.

    Though seems to be only a few that have had the unfortunate experiences.

    And I'm pretty sure people are experiencing these inconveniences around the globe, its not just a Thai experience.
