You need to wait 14 days from her test, so this Sunday 17th

I was in Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin on Saturday for a minor procedure. Was told that I must take a Covid Test before the operation. The Covid test took 3 minutes with a couple of long swab sticks going up my nose - Cost 3,300 Baht :shock:

What's the difference in risk terms?

That's if condo pools even have to close? I was told they did as the wording allegedly said 'all common pools". Again surely this would apply to hotels too?

Anyone know anything?

As far as I know, hotel pools are closed (or should be) together with spa, fitness centre, sauna, steam rooms, etc. Certainly the case at mine in Petchburi, but near border with Prachuap.
Centara Grand in Hua Hin(PKK) open yesterday....

Can they be open in PKK but not Phetchaburi I wonder?

You're right thecolonel. Hotel pools in Prachuap can stay open I was told this morning. Not only does this make for an uneven playing field, business wise, but more seriously....why?

I had similar a few months back, except that the test involved a swab up my nose, which caused a bout of sneezing, followed by a swab right to the back of my tongue, which made me gag!

Respite for some services in Prachuap. I can certainly see Massage has been given the all clear, but maybe on of the clever Thai readers can tell us the full scope of the article.

I know this is a google translate, but it seems pretty clear"
In addition, the meeting agreed to ease measures to open health establishments, spas and Thai massage, foot massage and beauty salons.

Yes, I saw that, but there was more that I didn't understand e.g. using your example, what is a health establishment? There was also something about young kids.

I understood that to be pre-school age children. i.e. Kindergartens. And the way it reads is that it will help the dairy farmers as these kids 'help to drain the raw milk from the farmers!!'

Yes of course, they have too much milk, so send the kids back to drink it and keep the farmers happy :?

And the health establishments?

For farangs, a LOT.

I wonder if there will be a 50% discount for the Chinese one. :duck:

Interesting and highlights the excessive charges by Bangkok Hospital.
I was in Samitivej Hospital last Friday for an operation. They also a policy of a compulsory Covid test.

Difference was that their test was complementary !
