I’m ok with everything EXCEPT that 45,000+ ASQ hotel. Even the health insurance isn’t that bad because you can find cheaper if you don’t need a full year, or you can cancel later and get prorated refund.
most people that are trying to fly into Thailand now (or in the next few months) are for reasons other than sightseeing/vacation. Most are for work, school, or family reasons.
it’s my understanding that it’s a mandatory requirement to stay at the government ASQ hotel. There is no option to stay with family, or at your own house, condo, or other option.
