Thailand will end coronavirus quarantine requirements for vaccinated visitors from 10 low-risk countries starting Nov. 1

Flying short haul, with Easy Jet & so on, we have no idea how long the queue for baggage drop will be. If might be a couple of minutes, or a long queue taking almost an hour.
It's much better to go directly to security with a carry on bag.
Then at the other end, be off the plane quickly, be first through security and leave the airport with no wait to collect baggage.

Something like a Cabin Max which met the old Ryan Air, Easy Jet etc rules for free carry on luggage could easily take everything I needed for a week abroad AND it would fit under the seat in front if necessary.

Also, why the hell don't Boeing and Airbus optimize their small aircraft for the target market ? We need less luggage space under the plane and more overhead locker space. So it needs a 737 or A320 with a lower floor & bigger lockers.

Getting back to the topic, The Bangkok Post confirms the end of quarantine, for just 5 countries but does not tell us what entry restrictions will be in place. Well they mention a RT-PCR test, but nothing is said about deleting all the other requirements.
"Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said the CCSA resolved on Thursday to allow in fully vaccinated visitors from Britain, the United States, Germany, Singapore and China if they pass an RT-PCR test before arrival."

The Pattaya Mail has something slightly more helpful, as "preliminary criteria":
"According to the minister, visitors will need to present evidence of full inoculation against COVID-19 as well as a pre-departure test result for COVID-19. They will need to take an RT-PCR test upon arrival in Thailand and must spend the first night at an Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) facility or an authorized hotel to wait for the test result. The visitors will need to cover expenses incurred from these requirements. Once a negative result is confirmed, a visitor may then travel anywhere in Thailand"
