The hotel quarantine plan is expected to start in April or May in the provinces of Phuket, Krabi, Surat Thani, Chonburi and Chiang Mai, Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn told reporters after meeting with tourism operators and health officials.

“Why these provinces? They are popular among tourists who usually stay for quite a long time, for one to three months,” he said.

Tourists would be quarantined for two weeks but if they test negative after three days they will be allowed out of their rooms in the hotel area

It's just another of these endless proposals. Nothing has been agreed.

Politicians gonna plitik?

Government ministers the world over float potential policies either to gain traction with their colleagues or to gauge public opinion. A good recent example is the UK government minister who was adamant in a television interview that there would be no UK vaccine passports and travelers would have to rely on a GP’s letter in order to travel overseas (reported here by Moses if I recall correctly) only to find the UK Prime Minister say a few days later that such a thing is under “active consideration”.

Agreed.
However, there are already people on "golfing quarantine" trips, where they are allowed out to play golf. So some sensible moves around the edges. For the people who would find playing golf an improvement upon sitting in their room all day.

What we really need is a "****ing quarantine", where you hire a boy off Grindr and pair up for 15 days. Zero chance of that getting approved.

Hang on I demand equality !! If golfers can have their quarantine and play 18 holes I demand that we're giving the same courtesy ! So, 18 holes for us in 14 days I think sounds MORE than reasonable too ! :-)

Sit in a hotel for 2 weeks of a holiday in Quarantine what a complete waste of money and holiday, rather stay at home until this is over. Still you always find some people that need to go all that way to see a boy or two on stage with a phone glued to there hand and looking real uninterested.

Yeah, because staying at home quite obviously is keeping you cheerful as can be.
