Thailand Quarantine - Getting Covid-19 in Thailand (POSITIVE TEST ON ARRIVAL)
I tested positive for covid 19 on arrival in Thailand and had to undergo the Thailand quarantine procedure. I thought I was going to prison, but to my surprise, we ended up having the time of our life in a quarantine party hotel. This video documents that experience.
This video starts with my mate Alex and me in our SHA+ hotel waiting to be transferred to our quarantine facility. At first, we thought we were going to a prison field hospital, but after paying around $1,700, they agreed to take us to a hotel. The transport van arrived, and we received a call from the front desk asking us to proceed to the lobby. To our surprise, there was no one to escort us, and we simply just walked to the front, where a van was waiting for us. The driver was wearing full PPE, and although I tried to make some small talk, he wasn't in a conversational mood.
We were greeted by a very nice guy, waiting to check us in when we arrived. Upon check-in, we were informed that there was a fitness center pool access and could even mingle within the community. Alex and I dropped our bags off and headed to join the small group of people sitting at the tables. I also decided to start a group chat with everyone there, which turned out to be a huge success. By the end of our quarantine, we had 80 people in the group chat, and they continue to post group pictures to this day.
To stay sane, Alex and I developed a daily routine. Typically we would start each day with a workout in the fitness center, then head to the pool to hang out with our friends and get a good tan, then we would go back to the room for a couple of hours before meeting up with everyone at the party tables in the reception.
To get alcohol for these parties, we would ask the front desk to go to 7/11 for us and get alcohol. We are not sure if they are allowed to do this, but we tipped them 100baht, and they were happy.
On the last night of quarantine, we finally got the release papers to allow us to leave the facility the next day and file claims with our insurance providers. Unfortunately, they force you to wait until the last day to get these, so you can't leave early. If you are in this same situation, make sure to triple-check all the spelling and wording because Alex'sAlex's name was spelled wrong, and they had the wrong birthday. Eventually, we could get the papers updated about a week later, but it was a massive headache.
Overall my quarantine ended up being a lot better than expected. I will never forget our pool days playing monkey in the middle of our late-night parties in reception. If I had to get, covid I'm glad I got it with such a good community around. If you are in this same situation, ask to go to a resort and not the hospitaal (not the hospital); otherwise, you will regret it.

    I have a couple of questions. First off, I have a free 3rd party soft phone app, which allows free phone calls to anywhere in Canada. I know from what others have said that it can be used with a data only SIM. However, my phone, like most others these days, supports WiFi calling, so that I can make calls over WiFi without actually being on the cell network. Does that also work with a data only SIM? What about buying eSIMs as you travel, instead of physical ones? Seems to me that could be done over the Internet before leaving home. I have a Google Pixel 6.

    Hi there thanks for your very informative video. I plan to retire to the Philippines in the early 2024 and I need to keep my USA phone number so that I can receive text and make phone calls from the Philippines for baking purposes. I will be 62 and this stuff is not easy to learn at that age. Can you please tell me what I should do on how to get things set up before I leave the USA. I have a Samsung Galaxy A51 single-sim globally unlocked phone right now and I plan to buy another one exact same model but with a dual-sim. I don't know how to call Google to find out information about their phone plans available. I did watch one video that made sense but the person talk too fast they said get some kind of Google phone service and then also pay the $30 annual Skype fee? Any information you can give me on this would be greatly appreciated. I plan on getting a phone in the Philippines a simple phone just for texting and calling other Filipinos and Philippine businesses. But I desperately need the capability from my Galaxy A51 phones to call the USA and talk to people in the USA and also receive calls from the USA and receive texts from the USA. And I need it to look like when I'm calling USA that I'm actually in the USA using my USA number I have right now. Thank you so much again sir. Presently I have unlimited data unlimited text unlimited calling from mint mobile and they said before I went to the Philippines to call them and add the international feature plan but the problem with that it is $0.25 per minute from the Philippines and I'm sure you're aware when you call a US bank you're usually on the phone for at least 25 minutes.

    Unfortunately, newer Galaxy devices sold in the US only work with SIM cards in the US and Puerto Rico. You'll either have to get an international plan and keep your current device, or buy a device made for that region and use a local SIM card.
