Not quite sure if my question is related to this group but I have no idea whom to ask😞

What are the options not to do alternative quarantine in Bangkok for a person who did 28 days quarantine in home country?

I got new job offer that requires me leaving the country. The company and I thought about ways for about a month but leaving the country was the best option. Times like this, I couldn’t say no to new job. So I took relief flight back home, now I’m in 21 days quarantine and 7 days home quarantine to go (total 28 days). As soon as I finished quarantine, I’ll have to apply for visa, buy insurance and come to Thailand but I don’t and can’t go through another quarantine again in Thailand!!!! Stuck in a small silent room is taking a toll on my mental health. This is living behind bars literally 😞

I know for now people who have work permit or documents can enter into Thailand and have to go through quarantine. Some already entered. But here in my country, I took COVID test 2 times (negative both times) Yet before I fly back to Bangkok, I’ll have to take another test again (for THIRD time) and go to a literal prison upon arrival for about half month again. I also understand I must follow the rules but if TH approves some countries under travel bubbles or something, my country is among the list so I’m expecting any quarantine waived. Really don’t want to go through again!

Anyone who has same situation or who can share me some advice, comments are much appreciated. Thank you so much!

Wait and see if any travel corridor arrangements signed soon. When do you need to be in Thailand?

Yes, totally understand how difficult it must be. But from Thai government perspective, all the active cases of COVID have been returning nationals from other countries so you can see why the are so cautious.

You can be as quarantined as much as you like in any country - you still do quarantine again in Thailand (aside from other considerations, who knows what you picked up in the airport or plane on the way to Bangkok).

you apply for permission to enter thailand at the thai consulate/embassy in your country and there is NO option not to do quarantine here at your own expense for the 14 days.
