Anybody heard any rumors or facts concerning lifting of mandatory quarantines for foreigners arriving from a different country? I’ve lived in Thailand 4 years now and have been stuck in Indonesia since March 15

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discusses the current state of travel to Thailand amidst COVID-19 restrictions. Many comments confirm that rumors of lifting mandatory quarantines for foreigners are not true, with international flights not expected to resume for at least another month. The dialogue reflects frustration from expatriates stuck abroad, highlighting personal experiences and the uncertain future of travel to Thailand due to ongoing travel bans and immigration policies.

With all the immigration confusion and additional requirements, I probably won't be going back to Thailand before December where my wife and son are. I might as well wait for a vaccine.

Would you rather be locked down in Phuket? A lot of People are "stuck" now. Just suck it up Joel, make the Best of it and enjoy (your Honeymoon) in Indonesia...

Stay safe and healthy.

Unfortunately for the likes of the OP and myself, the Thai government will not take this into consideration when thinking about lifting the travel ban. I left my family in Thailand on March 6th to do a 3 week rotation and have not been back since.

I think the model Emirates airlines is piloting will become the standard for flying .. just add the cost of the test onto the ticket and you are good to go...

The problem is the tests are not accurate enough. It's in Emirates interest to promote this but I doubt many government immigration authorities will.
