If the Thai govement were to open up to Europeans with the promise of a long stay visa with the 14 day quarantine but not all the other hoops and expense I’m sure many would take them up on it. I would sacrifice 14 days and a reasonable expense to have 6 or 7 months in Thailand.

To the Chinese who have endure the CCP version of lockdown and forced quarantine ... they are not going to volunteer for that under any circumstance... the quarantines were no joke there... even if they offered them free trips with the only stipulation is that they need to quarantine... their home experience comes to mind and they would say thanks but no thanks...
