Covid-19 office policy? help pls :))

honestly if you're in the formal sector, most companies follow the social security office rules - you report through the mor prompt app or call the ddc hotline 1422, then submit the positive atk or pcr result to hr. the standard is 10 days isolation from symptom onset or test date, but some companies are more chill and just ask for a doctor's note. if you're at a rathole though, they might try to make you use up your annual leave or sick days first, so check your contract. worst case just say you have symptoms and need to quarantine, they can't really argue with that

If you're at a proper hellhole, they're probably going to try and dodge the social security rules. The official policy is you report via the Mor Prompt app or call 1422, then you get a 10-day isolation period, but shady companies will tell you to just work from home or use sick leave. Since you're leaving in two weeks anyway, just send a line to your supervisor saying you have symptoms and are following the DDC guidelines, no need to over-explain or offer proof unless they push. Worst case they fire you, but you're already quitting, so what's the downside.

Ah that sounds rough, sorry you're dealing with that. If your company is really that bad, honestly the easiest way is to just say you have a fever and cough and need to quarantine per government guidelines. They can't really demand you come in sick, and most places won't push for proof if you just say you're isolating for the standard 10 days. Just send an email saying you tested positive and will be back after isolation, and that's usually that.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
