TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses hotel recommendations for a 14-day state quarantine in Bangkok. Several commenters emphasize that travelers do not have a choice of hotels, as the hotels must be government-approved. Some suggested hotels include Isanook Residence and the Grand Richmond Hotel, among others. There is also skepticism about the cost-effectiveness of quarantine arrangements, with some comments noting that the total cost might be reasonable when considering testing and meals. The general consensus is that choices are limited due to government regulations.

Everyone seems sure about the situation in these comments. Aren’t the government still calling it a draft and confirming it on 29th June?

you can’t choose the hotel, the list of hotels for 14 days quarantine is given by government, we don’t have much choice. Unless there are some new hotels coming up in the government list .
I’m with you. I know several who have been through it and they all say you have no choice

I was under the impression that you were quarantined where the Thai Government sends you to. I have a friend that they put in a 5000 baht hotel a night. I don’t think you have a choice.

Like I said I don’t think you have a choice so recommendations would be useless
depends if this cost includes your testing costs or not. If B 35 k includes testing and includes meals its not expensive. Just the meals is worth B 10 k and if they test you twice that is another B 10 k which leaves you with B 15 k for accommodation which is reasonable.

but if I will be going to choose a hotel.. what are your recommended hotels?
People on student visa/ education visas are not allowed into Thailand yet. Even if you buy an air ticket you will not be able to enter the country. Also at this point in time those being allowed in need to choose and pay for their quarantine hotel upfront before heading to Thailand
Elsewhere a lot of Uni's are just going to online teaching for a year, ie Cambridge, and quite a few students taking a year out - heard figures of 40% and above.
