Mandatory quarantine for14days

I stayed many times at the Okay Boutique Hotel and would consider myself lucky to pass quarantine there. Excellent rooms, excellent food. Probably no access to the rooftop pool though. Maybe some grease will help?

Maybe we could get a quarantine hotel ratings systems going. It would be mostly just for fun, since as you say, there is no choice. Still, it might give incoming migrants some idea of what is in store and what is useful to bring for quarantine. And who knows, the hotels that are repeatedly rated as shit might buck up their service if they get enough flack online.

Thanks, I see a list has been started up. Good move guys. Now for the hotel ratings from all you expert quarantiners !

Despite there being some serious deviation from the ministry guidelines by some of the more awful hotels, the stance of the authorities is that the negative reports made by myself and a few others were lies. This according to feedback by the journalists who wrote the K-times article.
Apparently, some efforts were made by certain individuals to identify the ‘informants’.
Getting those shit boxes shutdown or excluded is unlikely, I’d say. Too many people with a vested interest in the money making.

There is no greasing of palms to choose the hotel you would like to be quarantined at. The hotels are allocated to flights by the MoH well before the flights arrive, it is all very well planned, organised and executed.

Currently Okay Boutique is where all passengers arriving from the UK, or holding a UK passport, are being quarantined...they're keeping them separate from others, which is pointless imo since they still arrived on a flight with passengers from elsewhere, and many of those arriving with UK passports haven't even travelled from the UK...Cambodian logic

And yes they are permitted to use the rooftop, but not the pool, they can sit up there and order drinks from the bar enjoying the fresh air.

It really is a great forum.

Any chance of making it public again? I used to read it daily but don't have a Bookface account. Do I really have to create a Facebook account just to read and contribute to it?

I am fairly certain that you need to have a farcebook account to view anything at all on farcebook. It's not like a forum or website that anyone can just view.

I don't understand why they haven't transitioned to a system where travelers choose and book their quarantine hotel on their own. I think it would be in everyone's interest - better hotels get to charge more and I'm sure many travelers are willing to pay extra for some added comfort (or edible food for that matter!).

C'mon...surely you already know the answer to that

One advantage i see to the Cambodian system, where everyone on a flight stays at the same hotel vs the Thai system where everyone can choose is......
if someone DOES test positive, they are all in the same hotel and it can more easily be monitored and contained.

Plus the reason we all know
