If there is no better deal by winter, spending 2 weeks in Phuket then a few months anywhere in Thailand will seem fairly good compared with the British winter.
The "British winter"?
Most Canadians would call that an oxymoron. :)

We're sensitive souls compared to you rough Canadians.
Re: Poll: Under which Quarantine conditions would you holiday in Thailand?
I voted 14 days, but my situation is a bit different. I don't go for holiday, I want to spend extended time in and around Thailand (visa-free entry or tourist visa and visa runs), which would be extremely time consuming and expensive at the moment. If I could get a visa for at least 6 months, I would do 14 days quarantine in hotel or sandbox. For me, the crucial point is not the quarantine, but the time I can stay afterwards is not long enough to warrant the time and money spent in quarantine or sandbox.

I imagine retires expats who have been stranded back in their home countries since this pandemic started would agree. I know I would if it was the only way for me to return.

It's not just the quarantine conditions, it's the general Covid situation in Thailand as well that influences my decision to got to Thailand or not. At the moment, with limited public life in Bangkok and travel restrictions for many provinces, there is little incentive to go to Thailand.

"there is little incentive to go to Thailand."
Oh I don't know. Once you're out of Phuket you can enjoy lunch with migrant worker steviewonders and his friend (s).

I thought all the migrant workers were quarantined in their work camps right now.
Is there a work camp on Soi 4/Silom?

As the poll title does not constrain us to considering immediate travel, I voted considering a time horizon of at least to the end of 2021.
During that time, winter will arrive in Europe and Thailand really ought to have vaccinated a few people and should be seeing a decline in severe covid cases.

I won't return until quarentine is dispatched with.

Agreed! I voted for 7 days, but what good will it do if there is nothing to do after the quarantine?
