Airports of Thailand (AOT) has collaborated with Novotel Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to provide 100 rooms in the hotel for Covid-19 quarantine, Prasong Poontaneat, Airports of Thailand chairman of the board of directors, said.

AOT’s purpose is to support foreign tourists who travel to Thailand before the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand issued a regulation requiring medical certificates from foreign passengers before they are on board.
The regulation requires 14 days of quarantine but the government could not find proper accommodation so AOT decided to help out. The quarantine zones will be separate between arrivals and departures, the chairman said.
Novotel Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport is the only hotel at the airport that has 612 rooms with facilities, food court, bar, spa, swimming pool and fitness centre. It is located five minutes from the airport.
