I have been looking at hotels in Bangkok to quarantine in when I arrive April 1st. I see everywhere that its a 14 day quarantine in the news but I have heard that's actually not true. I asked a hotel if I arrived on the 1st when would I be able to leave and I have pasted their response below. It doesn't make sense to me. the 16th of April would actually be 15 nights, why would they tell me I can leave on the 19th ?

I only know of one couple who have done this - they arrived on the afternoon of Thursday 4th Feb and were allowed to leave on the morning of Friday 19th which was 15 nights.
The government recently has been mulling the idea of different quarantine periods depending upon where you're coming from. e.g. 21 days coming from South Africa.
Arriving on the 1ST APRIL! Are you mad? Can't you make it the day before or the day after!!!!
Counting the day you arrive and the day you leave, makes it 15 nights/16 days. I did it in December. Slept 15 nights. Will do again in March, 15 nights! I guarantee you I would love to leave after 14 nights if possible. It is like being in a prison, though a luxurious one. But for me wasted 2 weeks of my life every time. Hope Corona will be gone soon!!!
Thank for your response everyone. Hotel just emailed me back to say they made a mistake. If I arrive on the 1st of April then I can checkout April 16th.
