Maybe somebody here knows what to do, they’re in a bad situation right now.
One got tested positive on day 5 from a hospital in Koh Phi Phi.
He doesn’t have any symptoms at all so he could do home isolation right?
But the hospital told him, he has to pay 180.000baht in advance and he is not allowed to do home isolation because he needs a certificate of being Covid free after 10 days and only the hospital can give it to him.
So he asked them if he can go to the doctor after the isolation and just get this certificate.
The hospitals said no, he needs to go to a special hotel for this. The hotel wants 600€ per night.
For me it sounds like a rip-off.
Does anybody know what he can do?
Home isolation and calling the government hospital for this certificate?
