What are the current COVID-19 testing and quarantine requirements for travelers arriving in Thailand?

that is just wrong on so many levels. At least it's not a mandatory 14 day quarantine. I think your own home would be a lot safer than a hotel. But that's just my opinion

The Cambodian embassy told me that no insurance is needed to enter. You can most definitely get it on your own but it's optional.
