Thanks bro. I am lucky, but it's was a bit of Travel Pro strategic planning too! hahaha.
I was in Vietnam watching the news and I bought a ticket to Thailand and got in one day before they closed the borders. So a little luck for sure.
On another note, don't get the vaccine bro, I've been hearing really messed up things about it. I may not be able to get on a plane not being vaxed for a long time, so I may be here in Thailand for years! Who knows, but I like it here, so things could be way worse.
Where can you go that is warmer?
Actually as of yesterday you can come here! They opened the borders up to every country again as the tourism industry has been decimated. Before they would only allow a few countries in Asia that are "safe" countries with a 14 day quarantine, now you can come from anywhere, but have to do a 14 day quarantine. So a one way ticket to Thailand is no longer just several hundred dollars, you have to add at least a $1000 onto that for the quarintine, but you get 9 months to stay. Come to Thailand bro!
Thanks for all the info man, really appreciated. I have heard a lot of various opinions on the vaccine, so many and so different that I actually haven´t been able to form my own opinion on this thing yet :D But apparently, "vaccine passport" will soon be a real thing, which sounds a bit crazy... So Thailand open to the world again? Awesome. But a thousand dollars for the quarantine? Wow, that´s a lot. For what exactly?
Yes, the world is up-side down. And yes, $1,000 is some BS. It's for one of the state approved quarantine hotels. No ten dollars per night at these places. That's just how it is for now, but at least anyone who wants to come now can.
