A customer at this hotel from Hungary, an interesting fellow to chat with, told me the unidentified two people walking around telling people what to do are the parents of the owner and they said everybody can leave their rooms if they have no symptoms. This is contrary to what the health officials have said so I have decided to stay until tomorrow which is not the 14th day since the health officials came here and told us to stay for two weeks but it is the 14th day since I was exposed to the virus from the room cleaning by an infected person.
So Wednesday is my day of freedom.
I don’t really feel too much hardship through this ordeal. All the food I wanted my friends were bringing to me. I have all my own entertainment and I can cook whatever seems to be tasty and healthy in the room. I’ve heard some very discouraging stories about quarantine after arriving in Thailand from another country. I didn’t really mind too much staying in the room since I was able to get a few important things done anyway. But quarantining after flying in to another country and living on hotel food for 2 weeks would not be anywhere as nice as what i experienced.
So let’s chalk it up to another episode. It was a potentially troublesome one and I am a little disappointed the hotel owner has not apologized for the inconvenience especially since they were cleaning our rooms after they knew one of them was sick. But i learned long ago not to expect people to take responsibility in these kinds of situations.
