What are the current options for foreigners looking to reenter Thailand without family ties amidst the ongoing travel restrictions?

wait a bit that the twenty million Thais without jobs (applying to get the 5000 thb/month) start demonstrating. Borders will mafically reopen... (my bet is on November)

There meant to be top class places to stay

On the Facebook page Thai Expats Stranded Abroad has posts from guys who have jumped through all the hoops and are now in quarantine hotels.

I have a Thai wife and son which makes me eligible for reentry, but there are still a lot of hoops to jump through. I have decided to wait until next year once things calm down and there might be a viable vaccine.

We are thousands people with wp or Thai spouse and we can't get back. It's very difficult.

Parachute

I just (2 minutes ago) said screw it, I will just get a Thai elite visa and be done with this drama.

I am currently in the process of trying to get back to Thailand ASAP. I have a teachers non b work permit. My school has done all the approvals, etc and I am on the list that the government has said can come back in but It has been super frustrating and there are many hoops I still have to jump through. Originally I was hoping to come back end of July but now with everything I might not even be able to get back in August. I am part of a group that has over 4000 people trying to get back into Thailand and most will say it is frustrating. Also at the moment there are no commercial flight flying, only repatriation. When you do get back, you will have to quarantine for 16 days. I’m in agreement with the others that just realize you might not be able to get back for a while if you leave.

I think if you're looking for a totally uncomplicated return that doesn't involve tiresome quarantine I do think you need to prepare yourself for early next year. People meeting the criteria for work, family, kids, possibly elite still will have to jump hoops and "take a number" will get back in dribs and drabs over the next few months, but there will be a lot of disappointments.

advice. Choose a good place to be "stuck" for about six months

Not unless, you work here, are married/have kids here, have an elite visa, ed visa etc... I dont think just having a tourist visa will work for quite a while yet.

Very likely that you won't be able to return for a while so choose which place you'd rather be stuck in. Just the way it is now unfortunately.

Elite visa
