Poll: Under which Quarantine conditions would you holiday in Thailand?

[Kenny]

With the Phuket Sandbox area quarantine option about to launch, it seems like a good time to poll forum users about their preferred options for holidaying in Thailand.
"Quarantine" here may be taken to mean both hotel quarantine and area quarantine such as the Phuket Sandbox arrangement.

It’s a fairly simple alternative: which way do you prefer to be miserable before you can get to Pattaya (or wherever else you’re really going)? Note: there is no 7-day alternative for Phuket. It morphed into 14 days a few weeks ago.

1. Pay 60,000 baht all-up, 3 meals-a-day locked in your 32 square metres hotel room and only Mr Hand for sexual companionship
2. Pay considerably less for hotel and meals-when-how-and-where-you-choose unlocked on a 576 sq km island with the possibility of a hand job in the shopping mall public lavatories or even, just possibly, massage shop

Either way there’s the absolutely outrageous, budget-breaking, 50 baht/day COVID insurance policy blueskytoday keeps whining about.

Your choice.

I have seen several occasions...upon arrival in Thailand an insurance policy of USD$100,000 is required.......which is why I whine about it......If I can get policy for 50Baht a day great...but no way to get such prior to arrival I assume......so guess I am still whining...

As I and others have posted many times when you have raised the issue, there are links online on Thai Consulate pages worldwide. I’ve even posted a link at least twice to a company that will insure those over 75. Now get back to your whining.

I have done the 14 day hotel quarantine in Thailand (=15 Nights).

The quarantine is the one part of the trip I'd rather not repeat. However, if that's my only holiday option next winter, I would repeat the experience & have voted accordingly.
In practice, I expect to have the choice of "Sandbox" options and countries with 7 day or no quarantine.

Sounds like what I do now, and I'm already here.

So you would therefore have no problem with a quarantine period that allows you to travel all over Phuket doing just that!

Is that a question?

I live here so it really doesn't matter.

BUT...if I was coming to Thailand for a holiday I would only accept a short (7 day max) area quarantine if I could still go to the beach...the bars...the local entertainment venues...with boys around so I could enjoy sex. If the bars and entertainment venues were closed and there were no available boys around, it wouldn't be a holiday and I wouldn't come. I'd just hop a short flight to Mexico where I could sip tequila and lick the salt off the rims of a few burritos.
