I'm not saying its impossible to find a 1 K ASQ at this moment, however, you get what you pay for. I know people over here who had spacious rooms with an outdoor patio on one of the spectrum vs guys who stayed in a room that resembled a budget motel with no windows. The only common denominator between all would be the bad food. I stayed at somewhere in between.

Recommend that punters go to visit YouTube for ASQ hotel reviews. Here, one can see the vast discrepancy in various price points. It's one thing to pay 1000 bt for a budget hotel room when you leave for most of the day and explore the city and it's quite another when you are stuck in a shoebox 24/7 for two plus weeks (with bad food to boot). I also understand that many hotels have not adjusted yet to the new 7 day quarantine for qualified individuals and don't offer this shorter program stay.

Do you think the hospital will cause the USD1000 difference between USD2000 and USD3000?

ASQ Hotels had enormous costs upfront to ensure they are ASQ Approved. And off the 3000 USD for 2 weeks, margins for the hotels are paper thin. It's the hospitals that make most of the money. (Every ASQ hotel must register partnership with a hospital).

The bigger issue is that a nice ASQ hotel was 3000 USD for 2 weeks. For the same time period the 5 star hotel could be booked on a hotel web site for 30 percent of that cost. For some reason there is a 70 percent surcharge for food and orange juice.
Depending on your hotel you are allowed to roam around after 7 days. Some hotels allow your gogo girls to bring you the food you want. Research your ASQ hotels if you want flexibility.
The Phuket sandbox sounds like the best and most realistic option if it were to ever happen.

I don't want to be one of the first farang tourists to return. Part of the fun of Thailand is interacting with other travelers from all over the world.

In all honesty, the two weeks imprisoned in the hotel wasn't very enjoyable. The first 10 days weren't so bad, since I had a lot of work to catch up on. However, the final 5 nights were a drag. I felt like a kid waiting on Christmas.
Would I do it all over again? Absolutely, but that's just me. However, for someone who cannot stay long term and are chained to a physical office or assembly line, with only 3 or 4 weeks vacation a year, it would be a different story.

It's so much better to be back in the states shoveling snow and watching Youporn, than to go through 2 weeks of quarantine.

My estimate: 2022 Jan for the rest of Thailand once those 6 regions show they've opened safely.
1. 70% of residents need to be vaccinated before a region opens up.
2. If they see a surge, they will most assuredly close up / require quarantine again.
3. If CDC changes their travel guidelines, things might open up sooner.
Things are changing pretty rapidly. Just until a few weeks ago (even now), the mandatory quarantine period was 14 days. Starting April 1, it's supposed to be 10 days (regardless of vaccination). And some articles said Thailand will require 7 days quarantine for vaccinated tourists.

OK Thailand experts: when will a vaccinated monger can start visiting Bangkok? Without isolation upon arrival.
