Well I'm working on what my mate had in November and what the hotel tell me I have.
The balcony is the best bit. I heard some bloke in another less salubrious ASQ hotel complaining that he didn't use his balcony because it was locked, but after a few days he phoned and asked them to unlock it.
They added a bt3,000 balcony charge to his bill.

Just try to time it so that when you leave Thailand again . you get back after October so that you wont have to deal with the quarantine again
that is if the don't change change their mind about quarantine free entrance after October.
We are planning the same , three months in Thailand , then go to Greece for a couple of months, get back Oct,2 LOL , and settle down until next summer.
Good luck getting back to Thailand.
PS: Seven big boxes of our stuff was shipped to Thailand yesterday, it would take a couple of months to get there, so we thought we give them a head start.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
Originally we were going to Greece for Easter, spend a few months there, and then come to Thailand. But they are having a Third wave , or is it forth wave? I am loosing track. of covid 19 and they are still locked down, so we had to reverse our travel plans.
We consider staying in FL longer, but we are concerned that Thailand might get another wave of covid also. especially nor that there will be more people coming, and they might tighten up again.
So we are coming while the coming is good LOL.

There's this vlogger on YT called "Live Love Thailand" who did the quarantine in January or February. He stayed in his hotel for 15 nights, I think. His hotel had a balcony too - the room looked comfy enough (plus points for the balcony). He's been to Pattaya & Phuket recently, so if anyone's interested, have a look.
He doesn't answer what his nationality is - I'm guessing he's Eastern European. If someone watches, can you identify his accent? TIA.
Lots of people have done quarantine since it started, mainly people like mates of mine who work here and have Thai wives at home.
Up to now it has been difficult, because of the limited number of flights, but that is about to change with a sudden increase in demand (or I hope so, I have a flight on the 17th).
As for quarantine, it is all about doing research, reading reviews, or even better tapping up people you know.
One of my mates did his first ASQ in Bangkok and subsequently Pattaya. He described the accommodations as adequate.
The other one raved about his and that's the one I've gone for.
If you are looking for ASQ, do your homework and talk to the hotel to get everything in writing.
Absolutely right Harry
No reason to reinvent the wheel. I looked at many different ASQ hotels and in the descriptions and pictures they all sound and look good. Of course the would, you take a picture, if it does not look good you discard it and take another, until you have one that looks good.
Reports from those who have been there, done that, and have nothing to gain from fudging the truth are worth their weight in gold.
The hotel that was recemented to you looks real nice. I look forward to your stay there and your report.
I presume you have looked through these two threads:
https://teakdoor.com/thai-visas-and-visa-runs/199679-im-home-my-repatriation-thailand-dubai.html?highlight=hotel (I'm home! My repatriation to Thailand from Dubai during the COVID-19 restrictions)
https://teakdoor.com/famous-threads/...ighlight=hotel (My post-lockdown commute back to work)
Centrepoint Silom are really switched on.
Already got my updated ASQ letter.
^ If you haven’t been in bkk since covid started, you’ll be surprised how dead everything is in tourist areas & shit. The hospitality industry has tons of time for customers, if they are open that is.
When you arrive it’ll be quick too and you’ll be surprised at how dead swampy is as well. It’s like the apocalypse.
I kinda like it tbh.
Everything, possibly for you.
However for the non tourists, the majority of TD members:
The visa requirements - no
The COE - possibly
The airline Check-in - no
The airport arrival experience no
Selecting a hotel - no
important things to take - no
three td members experience - no
They remain for those that have no knowledge of all the above ASQ life to refer to if they so desire.

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
I’m looking to be back in June after a long ass trip offshore. After doing weeks and weeks and weeks of quarantine in several countries now, I’ve realized that I don’t need much in the room, or even care about the location.
Just need a large tv that I can plug my Nvidia shield into, strong AC, solid internet, balcony and windows that open, and half-decent clean food. Clothes washer is good to pass the time doing laundry but not a requirement.
I did 19 days straight in a Saudi shithole hotel with an old tv incompatible with my shield/Mac, windows that didn’t open, 2 twin beds, horrid internet, and disgusting food. About 4m x 4m square box. It was pretty fuckin bad. No housekeeping. No outside orders.
Once Thailand’s COE process got streamlined it is really easy by comparison.
Are international flights landing in Chiang Mai now or just Bangkok? Before the covid Korean Air had direct flights to Chiang Mai it would have been great to save 5 hours driving from BKK.
We are thinking about a trip back in June or July to set up a few things before our move at the end of this year.
7 days quarantine is still pretty long but what can you do.
We were originally thinking of doing our quarantine in Chiang Mai, since we have never been there, but changed our minds a bought tickets to BKK
But when I did a search from Orlando FL to Chiang Mai I found a reasonable one way flight with Japan Airlines for $797
I guess it all depends what country you are flying from. If you are in the US , search Cheapo Air, as their name implies LOL they usualy have the best prices, and if you call them their agents are very accommodating.
Cheap Flights, Hotels & Car Rentals - CheapOair
I don't think there are any direct international flights into CNX, and even if there are the last time I checked there are no ASQ hotels there.
That might change in the coming days of course.
But why do you need to drive there? There are several airlines flying every day.
I've booked a flight on Thai Smile, but Nok Air and Bangkok Airways are flying there as well.
