Hi! What happens if you test positive when you get to Bangkok?

I had a positive on arrival. There is such a thing, Thais present the test results in a different way, there are directly specific figures. And if the result is more than a certain number, like more than 34 or 38, then you have the right to retake the test, since the test already shows the remnants of the virus. Here the test is done super sensitive, and the fence is done right from the heart, I asked (insisted) that the hotel call me a nurse in the room to take the second test. Insurance does not cover the second test, it is at your own expense. In general, the insurance company immediately offers to move to a hospice (such as a hospital hotel), for example, Tinkoff covers it. If the second test (which is at your own expense) is negative, then they explain to you for a long time and tediously that you will still sit at home until the fifth day, when you need to take the express test yourself, but they let you go. If the test is positive, then quarantine in the hospice for 10-14 days, and, according to experience, tests are not done there, since every positive one prolongs your quarantine, but they periodically do CT scans to monitor the condition. If you are not alone, then the partner is also isolated, but the conditions there are simpler, and, if I am not mistaken, for a shorter period, and they do the test. This is all about Bangkok. P. S. The CT (cycle threshold) value should be above 30, and there should be no symptoms so that you have the right to retake the test within 24 hours.

You either retake at your own expense, or go into quarantine.

I have not encountered. But I'm thinking of either staying in this hotel for quarantine time or going to the hospital.
