As the economy opens up and we begin to move about in spite of the coronavirus, there is a need to balance our needs and our safety — whether we are travelling for professional or personal reasons, we still have to follow protocols and make sure we’re not putting ourselves or others at risk.
While quarantine procedures used to be stressful and the search for a quarantine facility was previously so taxing, a lot has changed in the past few months. Before, you may find yourself hesitant to look for a ‘quarantine hotel in Bangkok’ for fear of being ostracized or judged, but that is no longer the case now.
Nowadays, we understand that these unprecedented times call for a different way of doing things and require never-before-seen solutions — such as a quarantine hotel. Local hotels and hospitals have also understood this need and have taken it upon themselves to offer accommodations and services for those who require the necessary 14-day isolation period, without making it into a nerve-wracking experience.
For those of us who are looking to quarantine and self-isolate responsibly, or even those simply seeking a re-energising urban escape, there are now more options than ever before.
The Alternative State Quarantine Programme by Bangkok Hospital and Mövenpick BDMS
The highly-respected Bangkok Hospital and Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok are giving local residents the opportunity to experience the safety and seclusion of their Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) programme, which combines two weeks of spacious accommodation with world-class medical monitoring, a private home pick-up service, and a wealth of extra amenities.
The ASQ programme is not only designed for inbound visitors; it also allows Thai nationals and expats to voluntarily self-quarantine themselves in a highly relaxing ambience. Whether they want to work, rest or – if necessary – recuperate in a quarantine facility, safely apart from their beloved family members, Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok provides everything guests need to stay comfortable, cared for and fully connected.
